My paper will focus on the challenges of working in private practice, with treating eating disorders. In starting my private practice I made a decision not to treat individuals with an eating Disorder without them being connected to other health services like a GP , dietitian ( if needed ) or paediatrician . My treatment focus is addressing the individual psychological needs of the client and providing them with an environment to facilitate and encourage the individual self to be present. In essence I focus on the individual not the disorder. I use different psychological therapeutic approaches such as sand play; solution focused; CBT and family therapy ( to name a few).
