Problems like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating are serious conditions which need expert treatment. At self essentials we only provide interventions that research has found to work.
Being overweight or obese is affecting more and more of us each year. While everyone knows that eating less and moving more is critical to acheiving reduced weight, few people are aware of the specific psychological changes which need to happen in order for this to occur.Body image problems and body dysmorphic disorder are common. Negative body image can maintain problems like eating disorders and weight regain. Learning to accept your body and appearance is crucial to getting over an eating or weight problem. Self Essentials psychologists can teach you concrete strategies to improve how you view yourself.
Self Essentials staff want to help people accept their real, beautiful selves. Our psychologists have specific training and experience in providing evidence based treatment aimed at getting people back on track.
Check out our "about us'" section to read more about how our staff can help you with any of these areas.

Self Essentials Psychological Services
At Self Essentials, we believe that real wellness starts from the inside - from achieving peak psychological balance. At the core of our practice ethos is cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), an empirically supported psychological treatment method to help people to motivate, activate and sustain lasting change. CBT teaches people to change three main areas: their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
CBT has a large body of research evidence to show that it works. Currently, the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommends the use of CBT as the treatment of choice for many psychological issues. Self Essentials psychologists have been specially trained in CBT, and are experts in the area.
So - if you want to make a change in your life, and if you want these changes to last, why not ask for expert help? These days we spend thousands of dollars on help for the "outside" - on haircuts, personal trainers, facials, to name a few - how about looking after the most important bit - your inner self?
Self Essentials Psychologists operate in Balmain, Sydney and perform telephone consultations around Australia.
