Are you a couple who have lived or are living
with the experience of an eating disorder?
My name is Zoé Dixon,
I am a trainee counselling psychologist at City University in
London, and am conducting my doctoral thesis exploring couples'
experiences
of living with an eating disorder or eating difficulties. The research
has been passed by the university ethics committee and is self
funded; my researcher is clinical psychologist Dr. Jay Watts
(
jay.watts.1@city.ac.uk).
I am
therefore looking for couples who would be willing to talk
to me confidentially about this experience. I hope to raise awareness
of this experience, especially in the field of counselling
psychology,
to help inform and improve services that are provided for people
in this situation. It seems that it is an area that has not
been given as much research weight as others within the eating
disorder
field, and one which I feel is important.
