Hello and welcome. It is normal to experience stages in life where it seems to make no sense, perhaps events feel overwhelming and life seems impossible to navigate. Alternatively relationships may be problematic or recurrent patterns of behaviour are negatively affecting everyday life. People find their way to therapy for many different reasons and it takes courage to make the decision. Coming from an Integrative approach means that I can draw from a range of therapeutic approaches. This enables me to engage with you in a way that will be most effective and tailored to best suit your individual needs.

If you've found yourself caught in a difficult relationship with food, eating in response to stress or other emotions, or feeling unable to stick to healthy intentions, you're not alone. These difficulties are often misunderstood. They are rarely about a lack of willpower and usually develop for understandable reasons. Life experiences, self-beliefs, habits, emotions and the way we have learned to cope can all shape our relationship with food, creating patterns that can be difficult to change on our own. Helping people understand and change these patterns is a central part of my clinical work.

You might be holding it together all day - getting things done, showing up for others, and then falling apart when you finally stop. Your body stays tense, your mind won’t switch off, and sleep doesn’t bring the rest you need. You may feel jumpy, on edge, or disconnected from yourself and the people around you, without always knowing why. I offer trauma-informed counselling and EMDR in Sheffield for adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences.

When life moves at 100 miles an hour, it’s easy for anxiety and low self-confidence to take hold, especially under the pressure to be everything to everyone. That’s why it’s so important to pause, take stock, and give yourself the time and space to talk things through. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, weighed down by anxiety, grief, or self-doubt. Perhaps life feels louder than you can handle, or quieter than you’d like. You might be facing a big change, struggling in your relationships, or carrying the weight of past experiences that continue to show up in your present.

Weight Loss Counsellors
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.
