How to support a loved one with an eating disorder.
EATING DISORDER SPECIALISTS | Guided Consultations
You may have seen your loved one change before your eyes—becoming more withdrawn, anxious, and distant from the life they once embraced. It’s a confusing and difficult journey for those who care deeply, often leaving you searching for ways to truly help.
WATCHING SOMEONE YOU LOVE SUFFER WITH AN EATING DISORDER AND FEELING POWERLESS TO HELP IS A PAINFUL POSITION TO BE IN.
It’s about equipping yourself with the understanding and tools needed to be a compassionate and encouraging ally on their path to healing. The good news is that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible, and as a friend, family member, caregiver, or partner, you can play a pivotal and positive role in their recovery process.
Crucially, the journey that lies ahead isn’t about ‘fixing’ your loved one.
Her life has transformed beyond recognition due to her recovery journey with you. She is now committed to growing further, excited about becoming the best version of herself—a happy, healthy, kind and confident individual.
Seeing our lovely daughter devastated by this ghastly condition made me more aware of the countless other parents facing the same challenges and heartaches. It’s incredibly sad, but I will always champion your programme.
- Grateful Parent
“We cannot thank you enough for the expertise, effort, and genuine care you have given our daughter over the past year."
Welcome, I am so glad you made your way here but I am also deeply sorry for any suffering you and your loved one may be experiencing.
I understand firsthand how confusing and painful it can be to watch someone you care about struggle with an eating disorder. Particularly if they are fearful of asking for help or have tried various solutions without success.
Through my own recovery journey, I learned the transformative power of a support system. Your loved one deserves a compassionate ally, and you deserve support and guidance too.
As a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Master Practitioner of Eating Disorders, I’ve spent years helping hundreds of eating disorder sufferers and their families find their way to freedom. Our holistic approach to recovery integrates nutrition, coaching, and counseling, creating a supportive environment for true recovery.
Remember, recovery for your loved one is 100% possible and I hope you'll find the answers to all your questions here at Natural Food Therapy.

I would highly recommend working with Sasha if you are looking to truly heal from food issues/eating disorders, which also means healing the relationship with yourself and coming back to who you truly are.
I 100% believe I wouldn’t have made it this far on my journey and this much progress mentally and physically without working with Sasha. I have been inpatient in the past for a long period of time, seen multiple therapists and only felt more disempowered, ‘ill’, confused and not able to see me living life. I now believe I am capable to have a life worth living, on my terms, not anyone else's.
- Natasha M.
I worked with Sasha 1:1 to help me with an eating disorder I've had for 16 years and start my recovery over again after many attempts. I have learnt so much since working with Sasha- the tools she gave me and the reframing work we did are personalised and lifelong, not just quick in the moment fixes. Sasha REALLY knows how to approach recovery despite me thinking I needed hard and fast rules (which is actually my unwell / ED voice needing control).
I realised that healing is about healing your relationship with yourself first and why you behave the way you do which takes time and effort (not just focussing on food). I learnt how to compassionately react to difficult feelings and behaviours instead of with anxiety and punishment- which allowed space for my intuition to come through and guide me- I found this pivotal for making steps forward.
- Private Client
I have seen many nutritionists and therapists in the past. I can now say that none have been worth my time. What is different is that Sasha is 100% honest and cares about her clients. She sees the full picture and works holistically. She does not make false promises, which is what happened to me in the past.
I also appreciate how she supports both nutrition and coaching, as I think anyone who wants to heal fully would probably need support with both mind and body. Thank you Sasha for all your help.
- Elissa C.
I have lived with an eating disorder for 17 years and I lost hope in recovery being possible. I write this review because Sasha's approach has been life-changing for me and her kindness, patience and support throughout has carried me through a very dark place. She did not weigh me or push me too far out of my comfort zone. Instead, she focused on what needed to change and supported me with zero judgment.
I started to find happiness in my days again and food has become something I find enjoyment in rather than shame and punishment. Today I come away from my time with Sasha with so much more than I ever knew I could have.
- Carrie F.
Natural Food Therapy has been absolutely incredible in helping me overcome my problems with eating. The approach that Sasha has taken in helping me has been completely tailored to my needs and what suits me, as opposed to a generalised approach. This is what makes the clinic so unique. Nothing has seemed rushed.
She has taken her time with me and let me overcome anything I need to within my own time, helping me to overcome any hurdles while also celebrating my achievements. Not only has she helped improve my relationship with food immensely, but she has also helped improve my confidence and my self-esteem significantly. I feel happier in myself and in life in general, and I never could have achieved this without her.

I write this review with a thankful heart.
As a parent it was heartbreaking to see my daughter develop such a difficult relationship with her food. We went through years of treatment until last year a dear friend recommended us to Sasha. Fairly shortly after beginning, our Daisy began to choose recovery for herself and there seemed to be an inner strength that was ignited.
We are forever grateful for the guidance and support given throughout.
- Sarah L.
After suffering from issues with food and my weight my whole life, I heard about Sasha. She made me feel instantly at ease and I felt able to talk to her (something quite difficult with sensitive issues like this). I have since been on her programme and am currently continuing with her as I feel I am benefiting. The list of foods I can eat are slowly increasing and my anxiety is reducing. Highly recommend!
- Amanda T.
I was suffering from anxiety, stress, comfort eating and insomnia when I came to NFT. Sasha completely changed the way I think about food. She helped me to worry less, find a new direction in life and eliminate my insomnia... all in less than 2 months.
I think Sasha is very intuitive and has helped me tremendously already. Feeling very grateful.
- Leslie S.
The best coach who has helped me tremendously with my relationship with food and supporting me to liking myself again. I now feel proud of my journey and I'm learning how to feel happy in my own skin, something I never thought could be possible.
I continue my journey with Sasha but write this recommendation to share how transformative working with her is.Sasha you are a star x
- Alyssa S.
I have had such a great experience on the transform programme.
Sasha has helped me to overcome my issues with emotional eating and today I can proudly say that I am 6 months binge free thanks to all her help and guidance. Sasha, I couldn't have done this without you.
- Julie O.
Having seen Sasha last year for nutrition support, I heard about her new programme. I gained a lot through the sessions and having been through some difficult times recently I felt it could be worth trying out. I have never felt so listened to and supported - she transformed my worry-filled life into one full of hope, happiness and endless possibilities. I cannot recommend enough!
- Dianne S.
My time with Sasha has been life changing. I was yoyo dieting for many years and reached a point where my relationship with food had become a burden on both mine and my family's life. I was always hungry, irritable, eliminating foods, religiously counting my steps, calories and when I began binge eating I knew it was time to get some support with this. I can't tell you how glad I am that I did.
I feel so knowledgable and in tune with my body now. I feel like I am starting to accept and even like the way I look. Eating is becoming easier and I can even eat with the family now. Sasha, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for what you have done for me.
- Annie K.
When I started working with Sasha, I was in denial and reluctant to get help but with her kind, patient and gentle approach I began to open up.
Sasha really took the time to get to know me as a person which made me feel safe and understood. After each session, I went away with new lifelong tools to help me which I have used every day since. Sasha has helped me heal my relationship with food, exercise and most importantly myself.
Recovery is an up and down journey but Sasha was there every step of the way, always going at my pace, supported me through the difficult days and cheered me on through the good days. I'm the happiest I have ever been and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the guidance and support Sasha gave me.
- Sarah M.
