With the prevalence of disordered eating among those seeking weight loss surgery, I am committed to supporting this client group toward long-term sustainable change with the most effective outcome possible.
You’re driven, capable, and in control in so many areas of life. But when it comes to food, it feels like something unravels. You start the day with good intentions - but by evening, you’re eating in a way that feels disconnected from what you really want. Then comes the guilt, the promises to “be good tomorrow,” and the cycle starts again. You’re not broken - and this isn’t about willpower. If years of dieting, controlling, and trying harder haven’t worked, it’s because food struggles aren’t fixed by rules. They’re rooted in emotion, stress, and deep internal patterns—and that’s where therapy can help.

Are you seeking a reflective space to explore challenges, deepen self-understanding, and grow? You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck—or have a sense that there’s more to life, but something is holding you back. Perhaps living with a long-term condition (like chronic illness or depression) has affected your sense of identity or self-worth. Maybe past trauma—whether recent or from childhood—continues to shape your emotions, lifestyle, or physical health. I am an experienced senior psychologist offering a compassionate space to help you process present struggles and/or deeper patterns rooted in the past.

Do you often feel a sense of guilt or shame around food? Do thoughts of food become intrusive or overwhelming? Are you often binging or eating until you feel uncomfortable or sick? Perhaps you are fixated on 'healthy' or 'clean' eating? Maybe you 'purge' by excessively exercising, restricting, making yourself sick, using laxatives, or have a history of yo-yo dieting? Perhaps you avoid whole food groups and are often called a 'fussy' or 'picky' eater? Or a combination of any of the above? It sounds like you are struggling with an Eating Disorder!

Hi, I'm Kirsti, an autistic Art Psychotherapist (HCPC and BAAT reg.). I offer neuro- and LGBTQIA+ affirming, warm, safe, trauma informed and empowering counselling and art psychotherapy to neurodivergent people over 12 (no diagnosis required). I also offer advice on the parenting of neurodivergent children/young people. My clients often feel very anxious and overstimulated, which can result in low mood, as well as meltdowns and shutdowns. Neurodivergent people tend to struggle with relationships. They are also likely to have been traumatised and isolated. However, with the right support, any situation can be changed for the better.

I help people who want to understand themselves better. In our sessions, we explore your thoughts and feelings, especially those that might be hidden beneath the surface. Doing so helps you see how your past experiences shape your present and uncover any internal struggles you might not be fully aware of. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can gain insight and grow. I combine empathy with thoughtful questions to help you discover and work through any underlying issues.

Children and teenagers significantly benefit from counselling therapies, which studies demonstrate are highly effective both in the short and long term. For older children and teenagers, talking therapy offers a unique, safe space to explore and understand feelings of sadness, anger, or anxiety. Younger children can benefit from a combination of play and talking therapy to help them process difficult experiences.
