Overview

Specialisms: Eating Disorders, Body Image Issues, Yo-Yo Dieting, Perfectionism, Anxiety, OCD and Low Self-Esteem

With over nine years of experience working in specialist NHS Eating Disorder Services, I bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to the therapy space. I currently work as a Senior Eating Disorder Therapist within the NHS and am also a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP), with a specialist focus on eating disorders. In my NHS role,
I provide one-to-one psychological therapy, run group therapy programmes for Binge Eating Disorder, and deliver training and supervision to other clinicians working in the field.

I am trained and experienced in several NICE-recommended treatments for eating disorders, including MANTRA, SSCM, and CBT-E/CBT-T for Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge Eating. With a background in Occupational Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (HCPC and BABCP accredited), I use an integrative approach, drawing on various psychological models to tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. I also offer supported meals, cooking sessions, and social eating in local restaurants, helping clients challenge food-related fears and build a healthier, more flexible relationship with eating.

I specialise in helping individuals with body-image or eating-related challenges, whether related to specific diagnoses or using eating as a way to cope with other life difficulties. I also have extensive experience supporting clients with related struggles, including body image issues, OCD, low self-esteem, perfectionism, anxiety, and depression.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, respectful, and deeply rooted in empathy. I understand how personal and vulnerable this work can feel, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Whether your goal is to reduce food-related anxiety, build a healthier relationship with your body, or simply feel more in control and at peace, I will support you with compassion and care to move toward the life you want to live, one not defined by food, weight, or shame, but by self-worth, connection, and possibility.
