Kay Bussey is an Eating Disorder Specialist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Her practice is in Sydney and she looks after people who are dealing with eating disorder symptoms and the stress that can come with them. Eating disorders can feel confusing from the outside, but they are real and they affect both body and mind.
Kay supports patients who are living with conditions such as anorexia and bulimia. In many cases, people come in after trying to manage things on their own for a while, or after a period where eating patterns, weight, and feelings about food start to take over. Others seek help when health starts to slip, or when mood, sleep, and day-to-day life are being pushed out of shape.
Appointments focus on getting a clearer picture of what’s going on, what’s driving the problem, and what support helps most. At times, that means talking through meal routines, triggers, and the thoughts that can show up around eating. Kay also helps people work towards safer, steadier habits, without using fear or shame to get results.
Because eating disorders often travel with anxiety, low mood, and tough coping patterns, care needs to feel practical and steady. Kay aims to create a calm space where patients can be honest about what they’re experiencing. The goal is not just short-term change, but support that helps people build back a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
Over time, Kay has built her work around the needs of people affected by eating disorders, including the many ups and downs that can happen during recovery. Progress is rarely straight lines. People may have good weeks and harder weeks, and having a plan that can flex is important.
Kay Bussey also works with the wider team approach when it’s needed, so care can line up across different parts of a person’s health plan. This can make things less overwhelming for patients and families, especially when everyone is trying to help for the same reason.
If you’re looking for an eating disorder specialist in Sydney, Kay Bussey offers a focused service for anorexia and bulimia, with support that’s clear, grounded, and made for real life.
