A Space to Breathe and Heal

Welcome to my private practice, I’m here to help you make peace with yourself, your body and food.

Just a calm welcome
Dr. Bhalla

My Approach to Therapy

I have over 4 years of experience supporting individuals with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, and challenges related to self-worth. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationship with food, yourself, and your life experiences. I work in an integrative, trauma-informed way, drawing on CBT-E, DBT, MANTRA, CAT and psychodynamic approaches. Together, we’ll explore your life journey by understanding how childhood experiences and past patterns may be shaping your present, while gently working toward healing.

My approach is collaborative and focused on helping you understand your story so it can be heard and healed. Along the way, we’ll work toward unlearning diet culture, rebuilding self-trust, and addressing the roots of your eating struggles—not just the symptoms.

The Therapeutic Process

A collaborative path towards a more fulfilling future

01

Free introductory call

Get in touch, and let’s talk about what you’re looking for and how I can help you with your eating difficulty. Use this quick call to discuss what you’d like to achieve in a pressure-free space.

02

Initial Assessment

We get a full understanding of your concerns and factors that maintain the eating disorder. Ultimately, we aim to identify the therapeutic modality best suited to you.

03

Follow-up sessions

These consist of some optional pre-treatment sessions to help prepare for eating disorder work, followed by therapy sessions, so you get the most out of your treatment journey.

04

Review and reflection

We will periodically review your progress, adjusting our focus and sessions to ensure we’re aligned with your goals and equip you to handle future challenges independently.

Session Length

The initial assessment lasts 60 minutes, with follow-up therapy sessions typically 50 minutes long.

Target Concerns

I specialise in eating disorders and body image concerns, often rooted in early experiences and relational patterns, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and OSFED.

Practicalities

I understand that reaching out can feel like a big step, and I aim to make the process as comfortable and supportive as possible. Session availability can be discussed after an initial introduction. I currently accept BUPA and self-paying clients, with concession rates available where appropriate. Please feel free to reach out to discuss options and what might work best for you.
