If you’ve found yourself here, you may be exhausted from the constant battle with food, your body, or the thoughts that have taken up so much space in your life. Perhaps you feel trapped by rules, fear, guilt, or the overwhelming pressure to be “good enough.”
Please know that full recovery is possible.
Imagine waking up without your first thought being about food or your body. Enjoying meals with family and friends without anxiety. Realising you can trust yourself and simply be present in the moments that matter.
With compassion, lived experience, and evidence-based treatment, I walk alongside my clients as they reconnect with themselves, rebuild self-worth, and create a life no longer controlled by the eating disorder. You do not have to navigate this journey alone- with the right support, freedom and lasting recovery are possible.
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 and challenges.
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.

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 feel incredibly lonely. It can take over so much of your life that food, your body, and your thoughts about yourself start to feel exhausting and hard to escape from.
I don’t believe recovery is something you have to do alone. It happens through feeling understood, supported, and gently guided forward in a way that makes sense for you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. I draw on different ways of working depending on what you need, whether that’s practical support with food and routines, or working through the thoughts and patterns underneath what’s going on.
When I talk about “inside-out recovery,” I mean we don’t just focus on changing behaviours around food, we also pay attention to what’s driving them, like fear, self-criticism, pressure, or feeling not good enough.
As someone who has fully recovered from an eating disorder, I understand how stuck things can feel and I also know that change is possible, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
My goal is simple: to help you get your life back. To feel more free with food, more at ease in your body, more connected to others, and more like yourself again.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. We just start where you are.
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 a way forward.
