Counselling for Men

Are you stuck but don’t know why or who to reach out to? Have you gained and lost weight for years? You might have tried everything to stop overeating, but you find yourself doing it again and again.

I’ve been hearing this from my clients for over 30 years. They’re exhausted from trying so hard to be healthy, spending time at the gym, intermittent fasting, and yet they remain “out of control” around food.

Stress, for example, plays a very common role in how this shows up every day. According to Dr. Elissa Epel, a professor and vice chair of the department of psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF):

“When you’re stressed, you’re craving the comfort food, the high fat, high sugar, high salt, depending on your temperament. And that means, with repeated bouts of stress, you’re going to be gaining weight, and particularly in the intraabdominal area (i.e. stomach).

“Can you reverse that with different interventions? Can you block the compulsive eating?” Yes, with strategies that target eating habits, having a higher awareness of stress, and with nutritional guidance by a professional.

If this sounds like what you need, let’s talk.

Binge eating therapist with 30+ years of experience

I’m Shelley, a binge eating therapist, and I’ve been helping men who want to stop binging for over 30 years. I understand the ups and downs, the confusion around health information, and the disappointment when you feel like you’ve “failed” again.

But you haven’t failed – you just don’t have the right information.

In counselling sessions, I help you understand what’s really going on, help you create new habits, and share binge prevention strategies that actually work.

Let me help you reach your health goals and start to feel better now.
