ED Recovery Roadmap
Hi there, I’m Sandor Lovas
I am a CCI (Carolyn Costin Institute) Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and one of the few male coaches in this field. Having fully recovered from an eating disorder myself, I know firsthand that recovery often feels like a constant tug-of-war. One side of you is desperate for peace, while the other side is terrified of letting go.
If you feel stuck in that "messy middle," please know that you don’t have to be 100% certain to start—you only have to be tired of the fight. My mission is to help you navigate that ambivalence and heal your relationship with food, movement, and your body in a way that is empathetic, practical, and tailored to your unique needs.
My Journey & Approach
I developed an eating disorder in my early twenties that went undiagnosed and untreated until my late twenties. Fully recovering gave me a new perspective on life and inspired me to help others achieve the same healing. This journey brings meaning to my own experiences and allows me to pursue a career that feels fulfilling and truly purposeful.
Eating disorder recovery is deeply personal and can feel overwhelming. My coaching focuses on building up your Healthy Self so it can gradually take over the role that your eating disorder currently plays. Every session is designed to be a judgment-free, supportive space rooted in real-world recovery strategies.
Practical Support Where Life Happens
In addition to weekly sessions, I accompany clients in practical, everyday situations where therapists usually do not go. We might go grocery shopping, cook meals at home, eat together virtually or at restaurants, challenge fear foods, buy new clothes, or attend a social event where you feel too self-conscious to engage alone.
One of the hallmarks of my coaching is ongoing text support between sessions. This ensures you have a way to reach out instantly when you need encouragement, guidance, or a reminder that you aren’t alone in the fight.
An Inclusive, Affirming Space
I work with clients across the UK, the US, and Europe, providing a gender-affirming, trauma-informed space for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. I also work with non-LGBTQ+ clients who value inclusivity and respect. This practice is explicitly affirming; discrimination or invalidation of identities is not tolerated.
You deserve full recovery, even if you don't feel "ready" yet. I hope I can help you get there.

TESTIMONIALS
Sandor was incredibly helpful in reframing my eating disorder thoughts. He made me feel truly heard. Whenever I was struggling, I could reach out, and he would remind me why I’m working toward recovery and help me talk back to the eating disorder voice in my head. This was exactly what I needed in many challenging situations.
CLIENT
"Sandor was handpicked by our child while searching for an ED coach with a similar lived experience of battling the disorder as an LGBTQIA+ male.
Through their work together we have seen our child gain a stronger commitment to pushing back on their disorder. He has also helped us as parents to continue our education and understanding of how the disorder behaves and provided us resources to increase our capability as part of the support team. I wish we had found Sandor sooner!"
PARENT
"I met Sandor through a dear friend who is accessing his eating coach service. Sandor has been patient, kind, and gentle, going above and beyond to help my friend. Although she faces a long road to recovery, she has made huge progress with his support. Sandor truly understands his clients, as he has had his own battles with an eating disorder. This makes him a fantastic coach and a wonderful person."
FAMILY FRIEND
The client is doing really well... from her feedback, she has found this incredibly helpful. Due to her autism and learning disability, she often faces challenges with transitions, so having this support in place has been invaluable.
