I work with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma, often feeling stuck in anxiety, avoidance, or cycles that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy. Many come to me overwhelmed by food, fear, or the impact of past experiences and want more than short-term coping. With 20 years’ experience in mental health and specialist post-qualification training, I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy (CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR) to target underlying patterns and help you move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and lasting change.
I offer specialist, evidence-based therapy for eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma. I help clients stuck in anxiety and avoidance to understand and break unhelpful patterns. Using CBT, ACT, ERP, and EMDR, I tailor therapy to your needs—supporting lasting change so you can feel more in control and live more freely.
Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been struggling for a while or therapy hasn’t helped as you hoped. You might feel stuck or overwhelmed. You don’t have to face this alone. I offer a calm, understanding space to make sense of things and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
