I am a BACP registered psychotherapist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor. I specialise in anti-diet, HAES (Health at any Size) psychotherapy and work with clients to heal their disordered eating, body image, identity and self-esteem issues. I previously practiced in London and now in South Yorkshire.

Intuitive Eating and Psychotherapy is about regaining trust in food and movement, your body and most importantly yourself.  You will learn to trust your body, and not to micromange it. We doubt ourselves for many reasons, many of which are due to a culture which champions the control of food and bodies in order to look a certain way, and so we turn to dieting and restrictive eating behaviours. What isn't advertised so much is that  95% of diets fail. We are led to believe that we have failed the diet but the truth is the diet failed us. Dieting and weight cycling have a profound negative effect on our bodies and brains and they impact our emotions enormously.

Intuitive Eating and Psychotherapy challenges and disregards the negative and controlling beliefs about how your diet, body and life "should" be. You will experience mental, emotional and physical freedom once you choose to engage in this effective and authentic way to perceive food, your body and yourself.

I am skilled in working with clients who can't face another diet/ restrictive behaviours but who also aren't at peace with food and with their bodies. They feel stuck, have reached an impasse and are struggling to know how to go forward. Clients enter sessions feeling at war with what to eat and also how they feel and look. As an anti-diet intuitive eating psychotherapist I will guide you through the principles of intuitive eating, challenging all of the toxic beliefs about your body and food that will be blocking you from being able to enjoy life peacefully.

Working together we will uncover and challenge all the beliefs you have around food and your body. You will re-connect with that easy and peaceful relationship to food, exercise and yourself that you were born with and which suits you. Clients have found that this work has an overwhelmingly positive effect on not only their eating and movement but all areas of their lives. Self-confidence, work, anxiety, depression and relationships are alleviated and transformed by the regained sense of calm, peace and re-invigoration that intuitive eating and psychotherapy provides. Intuitive Eating and Psychotherapy is open to everyone - people of all sizes, backgrounds and difficulties with food, diets, body image, self-esteem and identity. You'll no longer feel preoccupied by food or body image in a way that limits your happiness or your life. You will discover the freedom to pursue the things that nourish you not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Eating will become a joyful, satisfying and easy activity and you will feel able to move your body in a way that brings you pleasure, not a sense of foreboding and pain.
