Anxiety, disordered eating, relationship issues, fat phobia, women’s rights

After many years in the corporate world of marketing, I retrained in counselling and psychotherapy.

 

I work in an empathic, non-judgmental, weight-inclusive way and have extensive experience with:

  • eating disorders, with a focus on binge eating
  • anxiety
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • depression
  • fat phobia
  • women’s rights and the effects of the patriarchy and fat phobia
  • relationships
  • self worth
  • body image

 

For those concerned about their weight or binge eating, I can help you to:

  • identify and overcome triggers to bingeing and dieting
  • decrease obsessive thoughts about food and weight
  • improve self esteem, self compassion and body image
  • decrease shame and anxiety
  • learn to manage difficult feelings without using restriction, exercise or food
  • and to tune into one’s hunger and satiety signals to allow a more peaceful, mindful relationship with food

 

Counselling Approaches I Use

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Narrative, Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) and Solution-Focused Therapies (SFT), as well as mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing.

I have specialist training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Enhanced for eating disorders (CBT-E), Integrative Cognitive Affective Therapy (ICAT), Family Based Treatment for adolescents (FBT), and the ‘Health at Every Size’ approach (HAES).
