Emotional & Binge Eating Therapy in Bondi Junction & Sydney
Support for Binge Eating & Emotional Eating in Bondi Junction & Sydney
If food feels like both a comfort and a battle, you’re not alone. Emotional eating and binge eating often show up when life feels overwhelming, stressful, or numb. It’s not about lack of willpower — it’s about coping. At TheSelfSpace, Eastern Suburbs Sydney psychologist, Sherisse Cohen understands the complex relationship between emotions and eating, and offers compassionate, evidence-based support to help you break free from the cycle
How I Can Help
I work with people experiencing:
Binge eating episodes or feeling out of control around food
Using food to soothe emotions such as anxiety, loneliness, sadness or boredom
Guilt, shame or self-criticism after eating
Repeated dieting, restriction or food rules followed by overeating
Body image struggles and self-worth tied to weight
Emotional triggers like stress, conflict, or feeling unappreciated
My therapy blends understanding and practical tools, drawing from:
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – learning emotion regulation & distress tolerance
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) – breaking unhelpful patterns
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – creating a values-driven relationship with food and body
Self-compassion & shame resilience work – reducing guilt and inner criticism
Practical mindful eating and body awareness strategies for low mood or sadness that doesn’t lift
What It’s Like to Work With Me
I know talking about food and body image can feel vulnerable. That’s why our sessions are non-judgmental, supportive and deeply understanding.
Once you book, you’ll receive a friendly welcome pack that explains what to expect, how therapy works, and how to feel comfortable on day one (whether in-person or online).
Your first session is simply about understanding your story — no weigh-ins, no diets, no shame — just a safe space to begin healing.
