I've name changed but am a long time poster on other threads. DD was, thought, recovering from an ED. She limped though a challenging degree, shone in her Masters and now has a related job in london. Classic highly strung high achiever. i thought all would continue to improve because she'd found her niche and was motoring along nicely. Until today when i had a phone call which made it clear it wasn't.
Where should i start to look for a good therapist with ED experience? She has one but although we'd thought it was going well it seems the therapist herself is a bit flakey and has been cancelling last minute and generally being unreliable. I actually think this has sparked a new decline.
Can anyone point me to a registry or any recommendations? DD is completely on board with the therapist approach but feels let down terribly with this one

I have heard good things about Orri. In London but also have a virtual option.

I've taken a look at them> I think they do full time courses which wouldn't suit DD. She needs a regular weekly session. But I'll look again in case I read that wrong

I have seen an online talk by a lady called Jenny Langley who is amazing. Her son had anorexia and she gave up a stockbroker career to care for him and I believe moved over to counselling.

I don’t know if she is available to help but she wrote a book and has a website so may give you some insights.

Good luck.

Tabitha Farrar does online coaching and she is wonderful. ( lives in the US now). Not a therapist though so perhaps not what you are looking for.
