If you’ve found yourself here, it may be because you or someone you love is struggling with an eating disorder and searching for support from a psychologist in Sydney. I know how daunting it can feel to take that first step toward help, it takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone.
With compassion, lived experience, and evidence-based treatment, I walk alongside my clients on their journey of healing and freedom. I believe that everyone is capable of full and lasting recovery when given the right support, care, and understanding.
Meet your Eating Disorder Psychologist
Hi, I'm Hannah Myall a Registered Psychologist specialising in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues.
I also hold specialist training in eating disorders as a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician (ANZAED) and I am a Cognitive Hypnotherapist with a decade of experience helping individuals and families work towards full eating disorder recovery. I have worked across various areas of mental health from inpatient and outpatient services, community, public and private practice both in the UK and Australia. I now own a private eating disorder clinic in Sydney.
Throughout my career I have collaborated with eating disorder charities and organisations such as the Inside out Institute for Eating Disorders, Butterfly Foundation, National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) and Recovery Warriors.

How I Can Help
I provide specialist assessment and treatment for eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and related concerns such as mood difficulties and trauma. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, offering support at my eating disorder clinic in Sydney or online.
1:1 Psychological Therapy
Individual therapy is an essential part of Eating Disorder recovery. My approach is person-centred, flexible, and holistic focusing on both healing the root cause and managing symptoms. Following an initial assessment we will work together to create your own personalised treatment plan using what treatment approaches may best suit your needs.
Parent Support
Parent coaching gives you practical tools and guidance so you can feel more confident at mealtimes, set loving boundaries, and respond to challenges in ways that truly help your child heal, whilst preserving your connection and strengthening your relationship. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening your role as the most important support in your child’s recovery.
Family Therapy (FBT)
FBT is the leading evidence-based therapy for children/adolescents with eating disorders. In FBT, parents and caregivers take an active role in supporting their child’s recovery by providing loving structure and firm but compassionate boundaries around eating. The focus is on restoring physical health, reducing eating disorder behaviours, and installing confidence and self-esteem.
Giving Back
I believe recovery is about community and support, not just individual therapy. That’s why I donate $1 from every session to the Butterfly Foundation, Australia’s leading charity for eating disorders and body image concerns.
Your sessions not only support your own healing but also help fund vital services such as the national helpline, community education programs, advocacy, and research.
These donations make sure that people all over Australia, no matter their background, can access hope, resources, and support when they need it most.
Together, we’re creating change and making recovery possible for more people

My Approach to Eating Disorder Therapy
Living with an Eating Disorder can be an extremely lonely, isolating place to be. I believe that collaboration is key to eating disorder treatment, where you and I will work together to create a recovery path that best suits you. There is no one-size fits all when it comes to eating disorder therapy, which is why I use a range of therapeutic models and approaches tailored to unique requirements of each client. Together we will look at both conscious and subconscious patterns keeping you stuck, aiming to uncover the root cause to your eating disorder. I call this 'inside-out recovery' which goes way beyond just changing your behaviours around food.
As someone who has fully recovered from an eating disorder, I whole-heatedly believe that full recovery is possible with the right eating disorder treatment, eating disorder therapist and support.
My goal is to show you the incredible amount of possibility and power that’s within you. You already have all the resources you need . I’m just here to help you find the strength to live the life you deserve.
Have You Tried Eating Disorder Treatment and Yet Still Feel Stuck?
If you’ve tried treatment for your eating disorder but still find yourself caught in the same cycles of thoughts and behaviours, you’re not alone. Sometimes, standard therapies don’t fully reach the deeper emotional wounds and long-standing patterns that keep eating disorders in place.
Hannah Myall is trained in approaches such as Schema Therapy and EMDR, which work to address these root causes. This deeper focus can help you break free from old patterns and create lasting change.
If it feels like you’ve been going in circles, a more comprehensive approach, one that heals both mind and emotions may offer the way forward.
