Eating disorders can touch every part of our lives — our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and our sense of self. We may find ourselves caught in a cycle of guilt, shame, fear, or frustration around food, eating, or our bodies. At times, it can feel as though these struggles take up too much space in our minds, leaving little room for peace or enjoyment.

Therapy offers a safe and compassionate space to begin understanding these patterns and to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that have felt lost or silenced.

What I Can Support You With

I offer specialist support for adults experiencing a range of eating difficulties, including:

• Anorexia Nervosa (always in collaboration with GP support where appropriate)

• Bulimia Nervosa

• Binge Eating Disorder

• ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

• Emotional and compulsive eating

• Body image distress and negative self-perception

• Weight and shape preoccupation

• Restrictive eating and chronic dieting

• Long-term dieting cycles

• Feeling “not sick enough” but still struggling

Working Safely and Ethically

Where appropriate, I may work alongside other professionals such as GPs, dietitians, or psychiatrists to ensure care is safe and holistic.

For those experiencing anorexia, GP involvement is essential, as medical monitoring forms a vital part of ethical, integrated treatment.

My Therapeutic Approach

As a Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders and Obesity (NCFED) and an experienced integrative counsellor, I combine evidence-based approaches such as Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E), psychodynamic therapy, person-centred counselling, and mindfulness and body-focused techniques. This flexible, collaborative approach allows therapy to be shaped around our unique experiences, needs, and goals.

My work is compassionate and non-judgemental. Together, we can explore the emotional and psychological roots of your relationship with food and your body — understanding how early experiences, self-beliefs, and life stressors may have contributed to your current struggles.

Recovery is rarely straightforward; it often involves patience, courage, and gentle persistence. Therapy offers a consistent, supportive space to navigate these ups and downs, helping you to build trust in yourself and your body once again.

The Goal of Our Work Together

Whether eating difficulties are recent or long-standing, it is possible to move towards a more peaceful and balanced relationship with food, body, and self.

Therapy is not just about changing behaviours — it’s about rediscovering our voices, reconnecting with our needs, and learning to live with greater freedom, compassion, and authenticity.
