Hi, I'm Mel. I'm an online Integrative counsellor and I specialise in eating disorders, eating distress & body image. I work with people with a range of eating concerns, with or without a label/diagnosis. This can include any worries about food & eating, be that connected to weight/body image or not. I have lived experience of body image/food difficulties in the past so I "get it" and am passionate about helping others improve their relationships with food & build self-esteem. I am neuro-affirmative and work with clients with autism, ADHD and other kinds of neurodivergence. I am LGBTQ+ friendly, weight-inclusive & trauma-informed.
Often people I work with have felt judged, shamed, stigmatized and unheard. I'm here to listen, understand and explore alongside you. I have lived experience of past eating and body image problems, as well as low self-esteem. I feel this greatly benefits my practice, having been there myself.
I work with people with anxiety, depression, eating distress, self-esteem and confidence issues, and more. I have also worked in domestic abuse services, and have worked with both survivors and perpetrators of abuse. Check out my website for more information, or contact me through this site with any questions or to enquire about counselling.
