About me
*Please note I am currently fully booked, if you would like to be added to my waiting list please get in touch*
If you feel stuck in a cycle of emotional eating, bingeing, or constant battles with your body and self-worth - you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.
I’m a qualified, experienced psychotherapist offering specialist support for people who struggle with food, body image, and self-esteem. Whether you’ve been dieting for years, feel out of control around food, or carry deep shame about your body, I offer a compassionate space to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll look at the emotional roots of your relationship with food, not just the symptoms.
I work online with clients across the UK, helping them break free from long-held patterns, reconnect with themselves, and build a more peaceful and accepting relationship with food and their bodies. Therapy with me is warm, non-judgemental, and always tailored to your unique experience.
Reaching out can be the hardest step - but it can also be the most powerful one. If you're ready to feel differently, I’d be honoured to support you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and have completed additional training courses. For example in relation to binge eating, emotional eating and intuitive eating. I am an experienced bariatric psychotherapist and specialise in working with individuals to build healthier relationships with food and their bodies. Helping them to achieve freedom from cycles of yo-yo dieting.
It is important to me that you gain what you are hoping to from counselling and as an integrative therapist I will tailor my approach to best meet your individual needs and preferences. We can work together short or long term depending on your availability, budget and the difficulties you wish to work on.
Member organisations
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
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.
