Hello and welcome to my page. Sometimes our problems can seem overwhelming and out of control. We may experience unhelpful thinking and act in ways that may be out of character. The hardest part can be reaching out and asking for help. The good news is counselling can benefit so many. I know from personal experience that talking therapy can have positive, long lasting effects. I offer online and sessions in nature.

Many also come for support with negative body image and food anxiety, or to untangle long-standing difficult relationships with food, body, or self-worth.
I believe eating difficulties develop for understandable reasons — often as ways of coping with emotions, life pressures, or internal expectations. Therapy provides a space to explore these patterns safely, understand what’s driving them, and begin to develop more sustainable ways of relating to food, your body and yourself.

Most of us will experience difficulties that we need support and help with. Therapy is one way to get help and involves talking openly and honestly with a sensitive and skilled listener, to agree and work towards meaningful change. It is a relational process, because talking to a professional about our difficulties requires safety and trust, which develops in the context of the therapy relationship. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, especially when that means talking to a stranger. You don't have to face things on your own.

You may feel caught between high expectations and intense self-criticism. Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, capable people who push themselves hard but still feel they are falling short. At certain points in the month your mood may shift significantly, leaving you feeling like a different person. You might try to stay in control through food or routines, only to feel overwhelmed later. Even when you understand the pattern intellectually, it can still feel difficult to change. You may be looking for practical, evidence-based support to help you understand what is happening and respond differently.
