My practice focuses on treating eating disorders, stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.
Most people want to feel good within themselves and within their lives. I don’t think this is too much to ask. If obstacles have previously prevented this, it does not mean the future need be the same. Change is always possible and often we need a helping hand. I am passionate about collaboration as the most empowering route on a therapeutic journey. You have the strength and the answers and together we can make sense of any hurt, obstacle or fear.

You might be someone who manages daily life well on the surface—holding things together at work, in relationships, or for others—but underneath, you often feel anxious, unsure of yourself, or like you’re constantly second-guessing your worth. You might find it hard to relax, to say no, or to trust your own needs without guilt or self-judgment.

Over the past year, I’ve specialised in CBT for eating disorders, supporting clients to change unhelpful patterns around food, shape, and weight, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves.
My ideal client feels overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or struggles around food and body image. They often criticise themselves, feel not good enough, or stuck in exhausting cycles they don’t fully understand. They want clarity, tools to manage emotions, and a more balanced relationship with themselves. Most of all, they want to feel more in control, more present, and like themselves again.

My experience includes working with complex trauma, personality disorders, anger, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression.
Change, while necessary for growth, can feel threatening. It often comes with a price—whether it's letting go of old defenses, facing difficult emotions, or confronting the unknown. I help clients explore these struggles, making change feel possible and, ultimately, more rewarding than the cost of staying the same.

I have dedicated the majority of my career as Clinical Psychologist thus far to helping people suffering from various forms of eating disorder, such anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or emotional eating.
I see a symptom as a warning signal, a sign that you should adopt a different stance in relation to your life: It is very important to understand the meaning of these signs, so that you can positively transform them into your new personal insight and resource.

Eating Disorders Counsellors
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviours, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behaviour affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counselling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioural disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behaviour, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognise they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behaviour has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
