Eating Disorders Therapy in the Netherlands
If you’re looking for support for eating disorders in the Netherlands, you’re not alone. Eating and body image difficulties can affect both physical and emotional wellbeing, and often involve complex patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours around food, control, and self-worth.
Eating disorders and disordered eating can take many forms, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia, and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). Some people may struggle with compulsive eating, emotional eating, or chronic dieting patterns, while others experience ongoing concerns around body image, obesity, or difficulty maintaining a balanced relationship with food.
Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, reduce distress, and work towards a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself. It can also support related challenges such as low self-esteem, anxiety, or perfectionism.
In some cases, eating difficulties may also be connected to medical or psychological conditions such as diabetes, stress, or trauma.
For expats and internationals, these challenges can sometimes be intensified by cultural pressure, isolation, or life transitions such as moving abroad.
On this page, you’ll find English-speaking therapists, psychologists, and counsellors in the Netherlands who offer support for eating disorders and related issues.
