Many of the people I work with look, from the outside, as though they are coping well, while privately running on empty. They come with anxiety, stress, poor sleep, fears and phobias, grief, low confidence, or patterns and habits that hold despite every sincere effort to change. Often they have tried to think or push their way out and found it has not worked, because the patterns sit deeper than logic and willpower reach. I help by working with those deeper patterns in a calm, unhurried, client-led way, so change feels less like a battle and more like something that settles. You set the pace, and you are met without judgement.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — perhaps carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or burnout. They’ve tried to cope on their own but long for real change and understanding. What they want most is relief: to feel calmer, clearer, and more like themselves again. They seek a space where they feel safe, heard, and not judged — where evidence-based therapy and genuine care help them heal, grow, and rebuild confidence in their own strength and direction.

In our first session, we talk about what’s brought you here — whether it’s the pain of repeated relationship disappointments, uncertainty in a long-term partnership, or feeling weighed down by anxiety, low mood, disordered eating, or emotional distress. You may be navigating life feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like things should feel better than they do — and you’re looking to change this.

Do you feel like you keep ending up in the same place in relationships, patterns, or how you feel about yourself? You may give a lot to others yet feel depleted, unsure, or disconnected. Many of the women I work with are navigating change, shifting roles, or quietly asking, “What about me?” Together, we gently explore what sits beneath the surface, helping you reconnect with your needs, your voice, and begin shifting the patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Weight Loss Therapists
What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?
Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.

What is the psychological approach to losing weight?
While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counselling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilise behavioural coaching or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.

What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counselling?
Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journalling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioural Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counsellors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilise the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.

Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?
While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counsellor. Prior to surgery, counsellors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counsellors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
