Embrace healing, embody change
Your journey to eating disorder recovery starts at Emergence
Emergence: the act of becoming known or coming into view; the act of emerging.
Eating disorder treatment that acknowledges your story
Taking time to understand your experiences and getting to know you in order to build an evidence based treatment plan that acknowledges your story and meets your needs.
Embracing your path to positive change
There is a part of you that will know when it is time to embrace change. The path to healing and doing things differently can be challenging, but it is a challenge worth taking on. The role of psychology is to help you do it.

About Chelsea
Chelsea Bloom | Psychologist
B.A. Hons (Psych); M. Psych (Organisational); M. Psych (Clinical)
Chelsea works with adults and has a particular interest in treating people experiencing eating disorders – including Binge Eating, Bulimia, Anorexia (BMI 17+) and related eating disorders (e.g. Not Otherwise Specified and Atypical Anorexia). She also works with people experiencing general distress around food, eating and body. You don’t need a formal eating disorder diagnosis to receive treatment.
Chelsea typically offers Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – Enhanced (CBT-E) for clients with eating disorders, which is a leading evidence-based treatment for Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, Anorexia and related disorders.
However, Chelsea recognises that eating disorders usually occur in the context of other difficulties in your relationship with yourself, others or the world. These challenges may be related to trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, emotional distress, dissatisfaction, emptiness or stuckness in your life. You might not even know what is going wrong, but find yourself feeling unhappy in major areas of your life. Perhaps you find yourself feeling empty when life is on track; or repeatedly falling into the same patterns that keep you stuck; or find yourself always anxious in the context of romantic relationships.
To treat you as a whole person, Chelsea takes a strongly personalised approach to treatment and offers a variety of other evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, EMDR, Emotion-Focussed Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy – depending on what you need.
Chelsea has a calm and open approach, and is inspired by the resilience and potential of her clients. She can support you with change and recovery, and to build a life you value despite your challenges.

- Binge Eating Disorder
