Eating Disorder Counsellor and Psychotherapist
With 19 years of experience across the NHS, charities, and private sector, I'm a qualified and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist dedicated to supporting individuals facing eating disorders, body image issues, and various life challenges.
My expertise extends to existential issues such as grief, loss, life transitions, depression, and trauma. I'm also a certified Eating Disorder Practitioner with the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED).
Having overcome my own eating disorder and body dysmorphia, I understand the courage it takes to seek and receive help. My passion lies in offering online therapy and walk-and-talk therapy to help clients lead meaningful lives.
If you're struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, or other obstacles, I'm here to provide compassionate support and treatment tailored to you.
