Are you feeling stuck in a painful cycle with food, your body, your health, or your emotional wellbeing? You may find yourself eating in secret, feeling out of control, or caught between wanting change and struggling to sustain it. You might also be adjusting after illness, surgery, or weight loss treatment, feeling stuck in recurring relationship patterns, or struggling to cope with life’s challenges. I specialise in helping adults understand the patterns that keep these difficulties going, including cycles of restriction and overeating, persistent self-criticism, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
We will work together to understand what is driving your difficulties, not just manage symptoms. This may include exploring patterns in relationships, self-criticism, or coping with food and health. Therapy is paced carefully, with space to reflect, process, and begin making changes that feel sustainable.
Reaching out can feel difficult, especially if you’ve been managing things on your own for a long time. You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. If something here resonates, you’re very welcome to reach out and we can begin to make sense of things together.
