Erin Gallagher Psychotherapy

“My experience with Erin has been life-changing. And I don’t say that lightly. After around 40 years of being steeped in diet culture and constantly being unhappy with my body and trying to shrink myself, then beating myself up when diets didn’t work, I feel a freedom that I didn’t think was possible. Because I’m no longer constantly thinking or worrying about my food intake, I feel like a huge weight is lifted (the irony is not lost) and I can’t believe the amount of headspace I now have available to focus on other much more important things. I still have work to do, of course, but the way I view my own body has improved dramatically and this is all thanks to Erin’s support. 

I wasn’t sure at first about doing online sessions. But Erin’s approach is both highly flexible but also structured in a way that really works. Erin works in a truly collaborative way. You can ask her anything and she will approach any idea with openness and from a place of care and understanding. I miss our sessions now and would definitely return to working with Erin if I felt I needed it. Thanks a million, Erin!”

"Erin has helped me overcome years of dieting, my negative relationship with both food and myself. Erin is so lovely, supportive and brings her bubbly personality to each session. The work we’ve done together means I am now free of diet culture, food guilt and am now an intuitive eater! Erin helps you become an intuitive eater, but also supports all aspects of your life allowing you to live intuitively. I would recommend Erin to anyone in a heartbeat."

"I feel very grateful to have met Erin. When I reached out to her I was struggling with obsessive calorie counting, food restriction and over-exercising. 

I don't think it would be an overstatement to say that she changed my life. It has been a couple of weeks since our last session and I am pleased to say that I am exercising daily for the joy of movement and I rarely think about calories anymore. My boyfriend is eternally grateful for her help because he can now buy snacks (including biscuits!) with the confidence that I'm not going 

to eat them all before he can touch them.

Family gatherings used to be an anxious time because I used to be meticulously counting my calories and would need to make excused for not eating. It was mental torture to see everyone else around me enjoy the foods I love whilst I only allowed myself to eat a certain amount out of fear of gaining weight. I am really excited for Christmas Day with my family this year.

 
The work is ongoing, but I would not be where I am without Erin's help."

"Erin is an exceptional therapist. Through a personalised approach, she has helped me to recognise the negative impact of diet culture, allowing me to better connect with my needs and feelings around food. Although I contacted Erin to address my problem with disordered eating, the sessions helped to change the way I think on the whole, providing improvements in all areas of my life."
