Are you a female psychoanalytic or psychodynamic counsellor/psychotherapist who has or is working with a female patient who experiences themselves as overeating, binge eating or has difficulties with body weight?
My name is Lesley, and I am a psychotherapist working in this area and I am currently in the 2nd year of a Professional Doctorate in Psychodynamic Counselling at the University of Essex.
I am looking to explore the dynamics between female binge/overeating patients and the relationships that these patients might have with their mothers to see how these relate and are experienced in the consulting room with a female therapist.
Participating in my research study would involve a short 30-minute conversation to discuss the project and a 60 – 90-minute zoom interview with me discussing your experience of working with patients with this presentation.
Requirement for participants
* Qualified female psychoanalytic or psychodynamic counsellor or psychotherapist
* Registered with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ, BPC or UKPC
* Working with adult female patients (over 18) who present with binge/overeating or body weight difficulties.
