Disordered Eating & Eating Disorder Therapy

I work with adults (18+) who are experiencing a difficult relationship with food, eating, or body image — whether that involves long-standing patterns, more recent struggles, or early signs that something doesn’t feel quite right. You don’t need a diagnosis, or for things to feel “bad enough,” to seek support.

I’m able to support a wide range of disordered eating experiences, as well as diagnosed eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and other restrictive or purging behaviours.

When appropriate, I work in close collaboration with other professionals to support your care.

If you’re living with anorexia, I may ask for confirmation from your GP or medical team that therapy is safe to begin. I do not work with individuals with a BMI under 16, and will consider cases individually for those with a BMI between 16–17.
Your physical safety and emotional readiness are always central to how we approach this work.

Your relationship with food and your body is unique to you, and recovery looks different for everyone. So our approach will be tailored to you, your experience and what makes sense to you. Within this person centred approach I am also able to draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, body awareness and some elements of CBT and integrate these where useful.

My role is to offer a safe, boundaried, and encouraging space where recovery feels possible, achievable and sustainable.  

Many individuals I work with have spent years believing they should be able to sort it out on their own — that they just need more willpower, more control, or to try harder with food. It can feel strange or even uncomfortable to turn to therapy for something that seems like it should be simple. But food struggles are rarely just about food. They're often tied to deeper emotions, identity, and ways of coping — and you don’t have to carry that alone.

Together, we’ll explore how your eating difficulties are functioning in your life — what they may be protecting you from, how they developed, and what might feel possible instead. We’ll make space to understand the deeper roots of your relationship with food and your body, while also gently building new ways to cope that feel safe and sustainable.

We begin with an initial 60-minute consultation, where we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy now, how the eating disorder is impacting your life, and what support you already have in place. We’ll also talk about your goals, day-to-day context, and any past experiences with therapeutic support, to get a fuller picture of what you need.

There’s no pressure to continue beyond this session—it can stand alone and may be helpful in its own right. Afterward, I’ll send you a brief written summary of what we discussed.

If we choose to continue, sessions take place weekly or fortnightly, which is essential for building momentum, trust, and sustained progress—particularly in eating disorder recovery. I work on an open-ended basis, but I ask for a minimum commitment of 10 sessions, as anything less tends to limit the depth of the work and slows the recovery process.

This structure helps create a steady foundation for meaningful, lasting change, while allowing us to adjust the pace and focus as your needs evolve.
