About Us

GIED was developed by Clinical Psychologists who are academic-clinicians  specialising in the treatment of eating disorders, based in Australia, Scotland and Italy. Over the course of our careers we have developed experience and expertise in a range of treatment models, including CBT-E, Schema Therapy, Brief Strategic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Further, we have specialist experience in the treatment of comorbidities including Complex-PTSD, Anxiety and Mood disorders, and 'Personality Disorders'. In our experience, when eating disorders are comorbid with other complex comorbidities such as C-PTSD, we need to be more innovative in our methods, and incorporate innovative treatments that have a good and/or growing evidence base in these areas. We are passionate about improving treatments for people with eating disorders, and the need to offer a range of treatment options that match client needs. We also believe strongly in the need for clinicians to be active in research to ensure that the field of eating disorders is informed by people with first-hand experience working with people with lived experience of eating disorders.
