  • Summary

  • When someone is struggling with disordered eating, it affects both the individual and their family.
    In this episode, UKCP psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist Gladys Ellis talks with Martha Williams, the senior clinical advice coordinator for Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity.
    Gladys and Martha discuss Beat's efforts to break down stereotypes of eating disorders in society and the media. They also highlight the importance of working in multi-disciplinary teams to support the physical and psychological wellbeing of individuals with an eating disorder.
    According to Gladys, ‘weight is not a prerequisite to get support,’ especially for young people.
