I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches - including CBT-E, Compassion Focused Therapy, CBT-AR, and ACT for body image work - tailored to what's actually going on for you, not a one-size-fits-all programme.
I support people towards a life where food feels less loaded, and where their sense of worth isn’t tied to what they eat, or how their body looks.
If you're here, it might be because food, eating, or how you feel in your body has started to feel harder than it used to. Maybe it's constant thoughts about food, weight, or appearance. Or it could be feeling stuck in cycles you can't break.
Whatever form this takes, I work with it - from diagnosed conditions like anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID, to orthorexia, where a fixation on 'healthy' eating spirals into anxiety, rigid rules, and a reduced quality of life.

I draw on evidence-based approaches — EMDR, CBT, ACT and Compassion-Focused Therapy — tailored to you rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by life's challenges? Many people I work with are hardworking professionals who carry more than they let on. From the outside your life may look fine, but inside something hasn't felt right for a while. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-worth, or patterns in relationships that keep repeating. For others it's more specific — trauma that still surfaces, or the weight of a long-term or life-changing health condition. You don't need to be in crisis, or have it all figured out. Often, simply knowing something needs to change is reason enough to reach out.

With my brother diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia nearly 30 years ago, I have personal experience of the family sacrifices and struggles related to the pain and stigma of mental illness. Having since, committing my life to the improvement of people’s emotional fitness and mental resilience, with support from organisations such as SANE and MIND, my own journey has allowed me to discover the true benefits of therapy first-hand. Personal therapy is proving invaluable for people to manage certain difficult or crisis situations in their lives and so transform their problems into major opportunities for personal growth.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
