Are you tired of constantly thinking about food, exercise or losing weight? You’re “good” for a few weeks, only to self-sabotage and beat yourself up after another binge. Perhaps food has always been the go to – whether you’re happy, stressed, or frustrated. Or perhaps exercise is the problem - you struggle to stick to a routine, or worry it's becoming obsessive. You may dislike your body, and feel a failure for letting yourself go. If these resonate, you’re not alone. It’s easy to get stuck in these negative cycles, but with the right support it's possible for things to change.
I’m a HCPC-registered Exercise Psychologist specialising in weight loss therapy, disordered eating and exercise. Whether you’re struggling with binge-eating, emotional eating, exercise anxiety or exercise dependence, I’ll help you explore the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are keeping you stuck and learn practical skills for moving forwards.
We’re told weight loss is simply about eating less and moving more. Most people can do this for a few weeks or months, but struggle to keep it up. Long-term change is challenging - but it is possible. With an empathic, non-judgemental approach, I can help you make lasting changes that reduce the food noise and free you up to enjoy life again.

I work with clients to help with challenges they are facing in relation to eating, exercise, and/or weight. This might include evaluating thoughts and emotional responses, and together coming up with action plans to integrate small, doable changes into their lives. The focus is on lasting change rather than a quick fix approach.

I use an integrative approach that draws on elements of cognitive behaviour therapy and motivational interviewing. An important part of therapy involves small "home-tasks" for clients to put learning from the sessions into practice.
