An online bulimia recovery course for you.
Hi, I’m Harriet Frew, a counsellor who will support you to overcome disordered eating and find peace with food. I was stuck in cycles of restriction, bingeing and purging for seven years and understand how much this can devastate your self-worth and wellbeing.
Change is possible!
Today I eat all the foods without guilt, enjoy meals out with friends and have peace with my body. Most importantly, I have the freedom to live my life to the full.
In this course, I share my knowledge and skills that helped me in my personal recovery journey, and I make accessible to you, the tools and strategies in supporting many clients over the past 20 years.
You can have this too.
Imagine how fantastic it would feel, to experience the taste of freedom with food, and allow yourself to live your best life.

Testimonials
'Thank you so much for the course. It has definitely set me on the right path and has helped me to see that this is the right thing for me to do. I accept that it will take time and work but finally I am confident that I can change my relationship with food, my weight and my body. I will be forever grateful for your support. I would wholeheartedly recommend both yourself and the course'.
Jackie
'Just wanted to message you and let you know how much more freedom I have in my life, since doing the course! I am eating now, when my body wants to eat, without a thousand questions! My head is so much quieter for it and it feels a real blessing. I barely ever think about calories or anything! I'm challenging my 'rules' everyday and then they are disappearing because I'm not engaging with them! I actually trust my body for the first time in what feels like forever! Thank you'.
Emma
'Harriet helped me to shine a light on the damage that years of dieting and bingeing had done to my relationship with food. She taught me to listen and respond to my body, rather than to live my life by meal plans, and to enjoy the foods I love instead of beating myself up and thinking 'I've blown it' every time I ate something forbidden. Most importantly, Harriet taught me to love and care for my body, to take time out for myself and to be happy in the moment, rather than in the future when I've met my goals. Now I'm able to lead a balanced, healthy lifestyle, but now it's because I actually want to and not because I 'should'.
Louise
'I am so grateful that I have found you. I know that without this work, I would not be where I am today. I am really happy. I listen to your guidance and I try to apply it to my life, it has all been so worthwhile and positive.
The missing link all this time has been my emotional relationship with food. I'm finally learning that food is not something that is useful to beat myself with or to use to distract my attention from the present with or to my dilute my emotions with. I am now starting to see food as fuel that nurtures me and it is OK for it to be eaten purely for pleasure as this is also good for my soul and well being.
Thank you for helping me see all of this, for helping me change my life'.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the course?
It’s made up of 12 modules and was originally designed to be completed over 12 weeks. However, you can choose to complete the course at your own pace.
You have likely suffered from bulimia for a while. You will need to allow yourself time and space to process the content and put it into practice. It is preferable to see the next 12 months as a journey in healing and to take time to learn, integrate and practice the different skills.
What is the format of the course?
It is lecture and video content, with questions, exercises and self-reflection.
Is this a substitute for therapy?
This course can be completed alongside work with a therapist or you can use it as a main resource, whilst you work through the modules independently. My personal view is that an online course can not be a substitute for a seeing another human being in therapy. However, it can provide you with insight, skills and knowledge to really support you on your journey.
Should I have support from a medical doctor?
In the course, I talk about physical monitoring support. You may need to check in with your doctor for blood checks and general observations, as part of your overall self-care.

Is the course material available forever?
The course material is available for as long as the course is online. This will not be forever but likely for the foreseeable future.
