About me
Please note that due to Covid- 19 I am currently offering sessions via Zoom or telephone only.
Make peace with food......... I help people who are struggling with their relationship with food remove the anxiety, guilt, chaos and obsession about food. I work with emotional eating, loss of control eating, chronic dieting, body image, chaotic eating patterns.
-
Do you feel guilty about eating certain foods and/or the amount of food you eat?
-
Do you eat in secret to cope with your emotions?
-
Have you started a new diet but are finding yourself more anxious and depressed?
-
Are you afraid of loosing control around food ?
If you answered YES to any of these questions and feel that you need support, I hear you and can help. Get in touch.
People who have reached out for support experienced the following:
- decreased stress
- a sense of calm around food
- increased self-esteem,
- self-acceptance
- more energy
- better relationships.
HOW I WORK
I help people listen and connect to their body's wisdom and begin their journey into making peace with food. This is a process and when there are complex emotional attachments and beliefs around food this requires further exploration. This is where my training and experience can help. However you are in charge of your journey. I will facilitate the therapeutic journey by offering a listening ear, acceptance, non-judgement and empathy. I have witnessed first hand that when someone experiences these therapeutic conditions healing takes place. You will have a space to explore the dynamics of your relationship with food, identify your struggles and decide how you want to move forward. I will help you find tools to manage your emotions as well as create new ways of relating to food that are more congruent with who you are both emotionally and biologically.
Don't struggle alone. Help is only one click away. Get in touch.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A FIRST SESSION
The first session is an opportunity for you to tell me about you and for us both to decide how we are going to work together. It also involves filling in some paperwork in the first 5 minutes. The session lasts 50 minutes and I see clients weekly or fortnightly. I usually advise 6 sessions to start with but if you feel that you need less or more we can discuss what best suits you.
If you would like to book a no obligation 15 minute phone chat, get in touch.
Please note:
* If there is no immediate answer when you call it is possible I am in a session. Please leave me a message asking me to contact you and I will return your call as soon as possible. If you prefer you can also email or text for further details or to arrange a call back time.
*Counselling is not a crisis service. If you need immediate support please call Samaritans on 116123 or Childline on 08001111. Alternatively, you may also contact your GP.

BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
