I am an Occupational Therapist and have 30 years experience of effectively delivering evidence based psychological treatment for adults with eating disorders, as recommended by NICE guidelines (NG69), and have achieved excellent outcomes for my patients.
I understand the medical risks and challenges of eating disorder recovery and have an up to date working knowledge of current national medical risk guidance for eating disorders ensuring safety for my patients.
I appreciate that those with eating disorders can find change difficult therefore my work incorporates motivational interviewing strategies to help understand and overcome barriers to change.
Eating disorders have a significant impact on those supporting, therefore I encourage carers and family members to also engage in their own support sessions to ensure they have the skills required to support their loved one to recover.
