About me
Do you have concerns about;
Body Image
Struggles with losing, gaining or maintaining weight
Food issues overeating, undereating, food rules
Exercise dependency
I work specifically with eating disorders, body image and weight management issues. Fully qualified as a counsellor & psychotherapist I have taken further, specialist training to work with adults who struggle with food, exercise, weight and diet including bariatric weight loss surgery patients.
Eating disorders therapy involves directive, holistic approaches based around motivation, engagement and change as well as nutritional guidance with appropriate referral to other professionals. I hold the NCFED Master Practitioner in eating disorders and obesity award, keeping myself up to date through further training and contact with eating disorder professionals. My experience as a competitive athlete and qualified personal trainer, means I understand issues faced by individuals for whom exercise or training is a very important part of their lives.

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.
