Dr. Eve Hermansson-Webb

I’m a Senior Clinical Psychologist based in Auckland, New Zealand. I specialise in the treatment of clinical eating disorders as well as subclinical eating and body issues, such as chronic dieting, obsessive exercise, and body shame.

I have experience working with problems such as:

• Eating Disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder)
• Disordered Eating
• Restriction
• Binge Eating
• Dieting and Diet Culture
• Obsessive Exercise
• Negative Body Image
• Weight Shame/Stigma
• Low Self-Esteem
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Emotion Dysregulation

In order to succeed in treatment, a secure and supportive therapeutic relationship is crucial. I aim to provide a safe and affirming space for my clients to speak openly about their thoughts, feelings and behaviours without fear of judgement. My therapeutic style is one of empathy, compassion, respect and curiosity alongside appropriate humour and pop culture references. I work collaboratively with clients to help them develop a peaceful relationship with food and with their bodies, and to make positive changes towards living a meaningful and fulfilled life, free from disordered eating.

I am passionate about challenging harmful diet culture and society’s unrealistic body ideals. I believe in and advocate for respectful and effective care for all people, regardless of their size, shape, ethnicity, culture, gender, age, sexuality or background. I enjoy helping clients to develop an appreciation for their bodies and the recognition that their worth as a person is not dependent on their weight, shape or physical appearance.
