NEXT TUESDAY MEETING

TA for Eating Disorders

Presented by Victoria Philpin
Tuesday, 13th January 2026 at 8pm

Synopsis:This is an introductory workshop, that will explore some of the basics in working with disordered eating and exercise patterns from the perspective of Transactional Analysis.

What to expect from this event:

  • We will briefly explore the origins of disordered eating theory, modern interpretations and ways of integrating creativity when working with clients.
  • As this is a TA informed workshop, you can expect to learn more about the basics of the modality in relation to disordered eating
  • Participants may also take some positive self-reflection from this event, that supports a healthier relationship with diet culture in their own world.
  • Group discussion, and hopefully a lively debate around theory and its practical use.

Biography: My name is Victoria Philpin, I am a qualified counsellor, and trainee Transactional Analyst, currently working towards my CTA which I’ll hopefully take in the next few years! I studied at The Berne Institute for four years, and have an MA in Interdisciplinary Psychology from Leeds Beckett, as well as a BA in Criminology from the University of Manchester. Counselling wasn’t my first career, I was in the corporate world for 10 years before I took the plunge and begin the journey to becoming a therapist. Five years on and I absolutely love it. I work in my own private practice in North Leeds, and support a wide variety of clients but have a particular interest in disordered eating and exercise. I work relationally with clients looking to gain greater freedom in their relationship with food, and their image. I live on the edge of North Yorkshire, with my partner and our Siberian cat, called Paul. _______________________________________________________
