Pearl Therapy — Counseling Support for Eating Behaviors

Who is this support for?

Changes in eating patterns during stressful times, or feelings of guilt or loss of control related to food, can be reasons to seek support. In Pearl Therapy, emotional and relational difficulties accompanying eating behavior are addressed within the scope of counseling. The term "eating addiction" is not used here as a medical diagnosis.

What can we discuss in the meetings?

  • Recognizing stress and emotional triggers related to food.
  • Talking about body image and self-criticism.
  • Identifying the need for support within family and social circles.
  • Evaluating referral options to a suitable healthcare professional.

How does the process proceed?

The initial consultation will address your expectations and daily challenges. If your need for support extends beyond counseling, a relevant specialist's assessment will take priority. If you are undergoing medical or nutritional treatment, a new treatment will not be suggested as an alternative.

Consultations are conducted in Turkish. The suitability of online or in-person options will be assessed based on your needs prior to your appointment. The number of sessions and the consultation schedule vary from person to person; no guarantee of results or improvement within a specific timeframe is given.

Scope of service

Counseling does not guarantee diet or weight loss; it does not diagnose eating disorders. Suspicion of an eating disorder requires evaluation by a physician, a qualified mental health professional, and, if necessary, a dietician.

Pearl Therapy's counseling service focuses on discussing needs, addressing emotional and relational difficulties, and evaluating appropriate support options. When a specialist referral is needed, the professional role of the service provider and appointment requirements will be explained separately.

Regarding the health assessment

Do not delay a health evaluation if there are rapid weight changes, fainting, self-induced vomiting, or significant dietary restrictions.
