Not usAnd this is where to go instead
Not on our own. With a doctor already watching, yes.
Where weight, bloods or heart rate need watching, talking on its own is not safe and we will not pretend otherwise. We are not set up to monitor anybody physically.
If a physician or a dietitian is already involved and monitoring you, tell us on the call and we will work alongside them.

6–10sessions is usual
Assault, an accident, or a childhood you have never described to anyone.
