You don't need the right words to begin. Just a space to talk things through with a specialist, and leave with a clearer sense of how to help.

How to support a loved one with an eating disorder.

START HERE

When someone you love is struggling with food, you feel it too.

You may have watched them grow quieter, more anxious, more withdrawn from the life they used to enjoy. It's a frightening thing to witness, and a lonely one, especially when you don't know how to reach them or what would actually help.

The good news is that recovery is truly possible, and you can make a real difference. This isn't about having the answers. It's about understanding what your loved one might be going through, and finding a gentle way to stand alongside them.

A private, hour-long conversation with Sasha, our eating disorder specialist, online and at a time that suits you. A space where your worry and your questions are met with understanding, not judgement.

For some it's a first step toward bigger changes. For others, a chance to think clearly when their loved one isn't ready for help yet. It's open to anyone supporting someone they love, diagnosis or not.

What most people don't expect is the relief. The relief of understanding their loved one better, learning what can genuinely help, and talking to someone who just gets it.

£350 for a private hour with Sasha, plus a written summary and check-in afterwards.

The hour is yours, but you'll leave with more than a conversation. You'll come away with:

A clearer understanding of what your loved one is going through
A real sense of how eating disorders work, and what your loved one might need from you through recovery.

A sense of what to say, and what to gently avoid
The words and moments that feel most helpful to your loved one, and that help you become a safe space through their recovery.

Guidance shaped around your situation
You'll share your circumstances and what you most need ahead of time, so the hour goes where it matters most to you.

A short follow-up afterwards
An email with your key takeaways and agreed next steps, so the value of the hour stays with you.

What you'll leave with

I'm Sasha, founder of Natural Food Therapy, and I'm really glad you found your way here.

I understand how frightening it is to watch someone you love struggle, and to feel helpless to reach them, especially when they're not ready to ask for help themselves. I've been on the other side of this too. My own recovery showed me what genuine support looks like, and how much difference the right person in your corner can make. 

In the years since, I've worked alongside hundreds of people in recovery and the families around them. As a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Master Practitioner of Eating Disorders, I've seen again and again that the people who love someone most are often the ones left feeling most helpless, and how much can shift when they're finally given understanding, and a way forward.

So when we speak, you're not bringing your worry to a stranger. You're bringing it to someone who has sat with this many times, and who will treat you, and the person you love, with real care.

One of the hardest parts of loving someone with an eating disorder is knowing when, or how, to step in. You don't want to make things worse, and you don't want to miss the moment to help.

Whether you're just starting to worry, wanting to understand more about how to help, or you've been living with this for years and tried everything, you're welcome here. You'll leave understanding more, and clearer on how to support the person you love.

Wherever you are, you're welcome to bring it here.

FAQs

Once you book, you'll choose a time that suits you. The consultation takes place online over Zoom, just you and your specialist, for a full hour, and everything you share stays private. Come with whatever's on your mind: any questions, worries, or things you're unsure how to say. It can help to have a notepad ready. Afterwards, you'll receive a follow-up email with your key takeaways and the next steps you agreed together.

The consultation is £350 for the hour, including your check-in following. It's open to family, friends, partners, and carers, and for many people it's a first step that helps them feel clearer about what to do next.

Anyone supporting someone they love through an eating disorder, disordered eating, or difficulties with food and body image, whether or not there's a formal diagnosis. If you're worried about someone, you're welcome here.

That's one of the most common reasons people come. You don't need your loved one to be ready, or even aware you're reaching out, to benefit from understanding more and finding a steadier way to support them. The conversation meets you where things actually are.

Our support is for those caring for a loved one aged 16 or over. For younger children, a consultation like this isn't the most appropriate form of support, and we'd gently encourage you to seek help suited to their age, often through your GP or a service that specialises in children and young people.

As this is a one-off consultation, the fee isn't refundable once booked. If you need to change your appointment, just email us at hello@naturalfoodtherapy.co.uk at least 48 hours in advance and we'll rearrange it.

You don’t have to carry this on your own.

Whatever’s happening, and however you feel, you’re welcome here. One conversation can be the start of feeling clearer and less alone in supporting the person you love.
