About me

I am a psychotherapist, specialising in eating disorders including anorexia and bulimia nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder and ARFID.

I am the author of Meditation For Weight Loss: Break Emotional Eating Habits Through Mindfulness. Available on Amazon for Kindle and on Audible.

This book is aimed at those who may have disordered eating without realising, and are stuck in a pattern of dieting and weight loss.

I know from experience that therapy is proven to be a better alternative to medical interventions for my clients to address the underlying issues causing their disorder to manifest.

These are often symptoms of an overwhelming life pain that are too often attacked via anti-depressants or dieting. What is really needed is for someone to help you make sense of your life and how you got to this point. It is not easy nor is it a painless process – but all that it takes is a commitment to begin the work. I will match your commitment by being with you for the journey to self-healing

At present, I am only available to offer sessions remotely via Zoom.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information

I work with clients aged 16 and above and my perspective is that the whole person comes to treatment, not just a set of symptoms. Therefore I work with understanding the individual as a whole and to see where their eating disorder intersects with other unmet needs, as an attempt to manage emotional pain and distress. Together we look to unpick the issues in a supportive and non-judgemental space where we can see unmet needs and together we can find ways of responding to these without the use of a disordered relationship with food or the body.
