What working together looks like
There isn’t one right way to eat, and there isn’t one treatment plan that works for everyone.
We’ll start by looking at what’s happening for you, your eating patterns, relationship with food, experiences with your body, nutrition needs and what you’d actually like to change. From there, we can work on practical steps that feel achievable rather than trying to overhaul everything at once.
That might mean working on regular eating, challenging food rules, increasing variety, making meals feel less stressful, or simply understanding what’s happening with your eating.
You’re in the driver’s seat. We’ll work together on what feels useful and appropriate for you.
Food can be complicated. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Eating doesn’t always feel simple.
Maybe you’re caught up in rules around food. Maybe eating feels stressful, unpredictable or overwhelming. Maybe you’re avoiding foods, feeling guilty after eating, struggling with binge eating, or constantly thinking about what you should or shouldn’t eat.
You don’t need to have a diagnosis to get support.
The aim is to help you build a more manageable relationship with food, in a way that makes sense for you.
I can support you with
Disordered eating and difficult relationships with food
Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder
Binge eating and loss-of-control eating
Food rules, restriction and fear around eating
Feeling guilty or anxious after eating
Body image concerns and weight stigma
Avoiding or cutting out foods because they feel unsafe, “bad” or unhealthy
Difficulty eating regularly or getting enough food
Getting stuck in cycles of restriction and overeating
Nutrition support alongside eating disorder treatment
Rebuilding confidence and flexibility around food
Navigating nutrition information without getting pulled into another set of rules
My Approach
I’m weight-neutral and HAES-aligned, which means I don’t use weight loss as the default measure of health or success.
I’m also not anti-weight-loss. If weight is something you’re thinking about, we can talk about it openly and without judgement. My role is to help you understand the nutrition, health and emotional considerations rather than telling you what you should want.
I care about how food actually fits into your life, not just what looks good on paper.
Where appropriate, it is important I can work alongside your GP, psychologist, psychiatrist, occupational therapist or other members of your care team.
When eating is part of something bigger
Sometimes food difficulties sit alongside other things, including:
Neurodivergence and sensory differences
Disability
Anxiety or other mental health concerns
Gastrointestinal or other physical health issues
Medication or appetite changes
Difficult experiences around food or your body
Changes in routine, independence or support needs
These things can all affect eating, and they’re worth considering as part of the bigger picture.
Who I work with
I work with adults and young people aged 16 and over experiencing disordered eating or eating disorders.
I’m an Eating Disorder Credentialed Clinician, with experience across eating disorder and broader clinical dietetics.
I’m not the right fit for everyone. If you’re looking for a strict meal plan, calorie-controlled diet or rapid weight-loss program, my approach may not be what you’re looking for.
If you’re not sure whether we’d be a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch and ask.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Get in touch below:
-
A person doesn’t always know whether what they’re experiencing “counts” as an eating disorder. Symptoms can look quite different between people, and you don’t need to diagnose yourself or someone else before seeking support.
If you’d like to get a better sense of eating patterns before an appointment, you can complete the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q). It’s a screening questionnaire, not a diagnosis, and we can talk through the results together.
I’ve also put together a resources page with information and support options that you can access without booking an appointment.
-
Yes. Eating disorders can affect people across the weight spectrum. Body size doesn’t tell you whether someone has an eating disorder or how seriously they may be affected.
-
We’ll talk about what’s been happening with food and eating, your nutrition and health, and what you’d like help with. I’ll ask questions to understand the bigger picture rather than expecting you to have everything figured out beforehand.
-
Yes, you can see me for dietetic support without currently seeing a psychologist. However, eating disorders can affect your physical health as well as your relationship with food, so I do recommend having a GP involved in your care.
If there are concerns about your physical health or medical risk, I require clients to have regular GP review while we work together. Depending on your circumstances, I may also recommend involving a psychologist, psychiatrist or other members of your healthcare team.
You don’t have to have everything organised before making an enquiry, we can talk about what support might be appropriate for you.
