As a Registered Psychotherapist, for more than a decade I have helped clients in one-on-one sessions with their emotional eating. As my knowledge and experience grew, so did my vision of what I wanted to offer at the Centre for Emotional Eating. 

While I know you may be hesitant to participate in group therapy, let me tell you: it is very helpful for addressing emotional eating!

Emotional eating thrives in isolation, the secret, the hidden places. There is great comfort in not only acknowledging your experiences to others in a supportive environment, but also hearing that the person sitting next to you has had the exact same experience really releases the shame around emotional eating.

Group sessions are also cheaper than one-on-one. For 2 hours a week, over 8 weeks, the cost for The Quiet Craving is only $748 (no tax). If you have coverage for Registered Psychotherapy, this amount may be eligible for reimbursement. You may also be able to claim it as a medical expense on your income tax. Due to the nature of the course, refunds are not available.

The group will meet online (using Zoom) with me every week and I will walk you through one concept at a time, each building on the last. See the weekly topics below!

Meetings will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. EST.

You will also get weekly worksheets to support your progress between our meetings, guided mediations, access to a private Facebook group, and more! 

    Here's what you can expect over our 8 weeks: 

Week 1: You’re Not Broken

This first week helps you understand emotional eating as a nervous system response rather than a personal failure. When food becomes the most reliable source of comfort, predictability, or control, your behaviour makes sense—and understanding that opens the door to long term change.

Week 2: How Food Became Comfort (Food Did a Good Job)

This week explores how food became a reliable way to regulate your nervous system and create emotional safety when other support wasn’t consistently available. By understanding the role food played in helping you cope, shame softens and the struggle with eating begins to ease.

Week 3: Meet Your Needs & Regulate Your Emotions

You’ll learn practical tools to calm your nervous system and move emotions through your body rather than suppressing them. As emotions become safer to feel, cravings lose their intensity.

Week 4: Self-Sabotage & the Inner Critic

We unpack how the inner critic and perfectionism developed to protect you from shame—and how they now keep you stuck. You’ll learn to respond to self-critical thoughts with compassion instead of harshness.

Week 5: Confidence Over Shame

Shame doesn’t motivate change—it shuts it down. We focus on breaking the cycle where shame thrives in isolation and secrecy. By practicing compassionate honesty and self-forgiveness, you begin rebuilding trust in yourself and your ability to respond rather than spiral.

Week 6: Keeping the Peace — Pleasing & Appeasing

We explore how people-pleasing often leads to self-abandonment and how that disconnection fuels emotional eating. You’ll learn what you are and are not responsible for, and how to meet your needs without guilt.

Week 7: Connection & Belonging — Humans Need Humans

Emotional eating often intensifies in isolation. This week helps you intentionally build a support system—people, practices, and inner resources— to meet your emotional needs.

Week 8: Falling Off the Wagon Without Spiralling

Cravings and emotional eating don’t mean you’re back at square one. This week reframes setbacks as moments for learning rather than proof of failure. You’ll learn how to recognize early warning signs and respond with tools, support, and compassion—so one hard moment doesn’t turn into weeks of shame.

Follow-Up Session

A supportive follow-up session one month later to reflect on growth, normalize ongoing challenges, name progress that may be hard to see on your own, and strengthen the changes already taking root.

The best part of each week is that the content leads up to a specific transformation, a shift in how you think or feel. This might feel like a quiet confidence growing in you, or feeling that you are finally seen, or an ah-ha! moment that makes you smile. It can be slightly different for everyone, but oh, so powerful in changing your patterns with emotional eating.
