Binge Eating Is the Most Common Eating Disorder, But Often the Least Talked About

Binge eating disorder (BED) affects people of all sizes, genders, and backgrounds. It’s not about lack of willpower. It’s often a complex mix of emotional overwhelm, undiagnosed neurodivergence, dopamine-seeking behaviours, and years of shame.

This page isn’t about blame. It’s about getting curious.

Whether your binges happen during stress, boredom, late-night scrolling, or emotional shutdown, there’s a reason beneath it. And I’ll help you uncover it gently.

The Neuroscience Behind Bingeing

There’s a Brain-Based Reason You Binge And It’s Not Your Fault

Binge eating often activates the brain’s dopamine reward system, giving short-term relief from discomfort. That hit of pleasure becomes a coping strategy, especially for those with ADHD, anxiety, or high emotional sensitivity.

You’re not “out of control.”
Your brain is doing what it thinks it needs to survive or self-soothe.

In our work, we’ll explore:
➔ How dopamine, stress, and food are wired together
➔ Why boredom feels unbearable (especially for neurodivergent brains)
➔ The emotional “drop” that happens before a binge
➔ How to interrupt the cycle without shame

It’s Not Just About Food

The Importance of Tailored Support

Bingeing Isn’t Just About Food, It’s What the Food Is Covering Up

Binge eating can be:

My Therapeutic Approach

This Isn’t a Meal Plan. It’s a Mind-Body Reset

My approach is direct, warm, and trauma-informed. No fluff. No shame. I use a combination of strategies to help you:

A Note for Neurodivergent Clients

If You’re Neurodivergent, or Think You Might Be, Let’s Tailor It

People with ADHD, autism, or sensory sensitivities often experience binge eating differently. If you’ve been masking, misunderstood, or trying to fit into someone else’s recovery framework, it’s not you that’s broken.

Together, we create something that works for your brain.

From Bingeing to Becoming

I Know What It’s Like to Binge Because I’ve Been There

When I was a teenager, I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I would eat and eat until I felt sick, spend copious amounts of money on food, and lie about it. I was overwhelmed, ashamed, and lost.

I struggled with undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia. I didn’t know who I was, and bingeing gave me a hit of something to hold onto. I hated my body. I hated how out of control I felt.

That experience didn’t break me; it shaped me. It gave me the insight and empathy to sit here with you now as the therapist I needed back then.

Client Success Stories

Recovery started when I felt safe, not judged.”

One client came to Counsellor Who Cares feeling stuck in the binge–restrict cycle. They’d spent years trying to “control” their eating, convinced it was a willpower problem. But through gentle, trauma-informed work, they began to understand the emotional triggers behind the binges. Therapy helped them develop a healthier relationship with food based on safety, not shame. Mealtimes now feel calmer, and no longer want to start over every Monday.

I didn’t know men were allowed to struggle with this.”

Another client had lived in silence for years, carrying the weight of secret bingeing and the belief that this wasn’t something men should talk about. In therapy, they found a space where they weren’t judged or told to “just eat normally.” Together, we worked on building emotional safety, understanding the deeper needs driving their behaviour, and slowly letting go of guilt. They now eat in front of others with confidence and no longer feel the need to hide.

Once I realised I was neurodivergent, everything made more sense.

A third client had tried several programs but felt they never quite fit. The missing piece? Their neurodivergence. Traditional recovery advice didn’t stick. At Counsellor Who Cares, we tailored strategies to work with their brain, not against it, focusing on structure, novelty, and emotional regulation. The result was a more compassionate, sustainable way forward. Their story shows how powerful recovery can be when built around the person, not just the diagnosis.
