Work is rooted in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), including specialist CBT for eating disorders and Family-Based Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa. Also trained in EMDR for trauma, with further training underway in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) for relational and long-standing patterns of difficulty. You can read more about how I work and my training and background.

Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, bingeing, overeating, ARFID), trauma and PTSD, anxiety and OCD, depression and low mood, neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism), diabetes and physical health, and complex or long-term conditions.

Both. In-person sessions are held in a quiet, comfortable room via Circle Psychology Partners; online sessions are available for anyone who prefers or needs to work remotely. The address and a little about the room are under Where we meet.

Sessions are a collaboration, and you are always in the driving seat. This is how they usually unfold:

• Getting to know each other. We start by making space for your story. What are you struggling with, and what would you most like to change? There’s no rush and no wrong answers.
• Exploring possibilities together. I’ll share some ideas about how we might work toward your goals, and together we figure out whether those ideas feel right for you. We might explore pros and cons of options so that you can make informed choices about what you want.
• Making space for what comes up. Throughout our work, we hold room for your thoughts and feelings, including the difficult ones. Trust can build gradually, and we grow it together through commitment to your recovery.
• Checking in along the way. We review regularly. Where are we? What’s working? Where do we want to go next? This keeps our work meaningful and responsive to you.

There is more under What to expect in our sessions on the Therapy page, and you are welcome to get in touch with any questions before you book.

The priced resource library is intended for clinicians and trainees to use alongside their own client work. You can explore the Resources page, the Portion Perception app and the Dear Animal card deck.
