EVIDENCE-BASED CARE

Treatments I provide

I offer compassionate, individually tailored care for people and families navigating eating disorders. No two people arrive in the same place, so treatment is shaped around your story, your goals, and where you're at right now — not a one-size-fits-all program.

Care shaped around you

However we work together, three things stay constant: kindness, safety, and meeting you where you are.

Compassion-focused

Trauma-informed

Neuro-aware

I never want shame or self-criticism to get in the way of your progress, so sessions are gentle and judgment-free. I'm mindful that past experiences can shape how safe things feel today, and I take care to build trust at your pace. And because brains work differently — whether that's ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or something else — I adapt how we work together so it actually fits you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – Enhanced

AN · BN · BED · OSFED

CBT-E helps you understand what's keeping the eating disorder going, and gives you practical tools to shift those patterns at a pace that suits you. We usually meet weekly.

Together we work on:

  • Eating regularly and consistently

  • Easing restriction and other eating disorder habits

  • Untangling unhelpful thoughts about food, weight, and shape

  • Facing feared foods, one step at a time

  • Body image, and staying well once you're feeling better

The goal is steady, lasting change you can trust.

Family Based Therapy

Children & adolescents

FBT is the best-supported treatment we have for young people with eating disorders. It puts parents in the driver's seat early on, with my coaching alongside you, so your child can get back to eating safely at home.

This usually moves through three stages:

  • Parents take charge of meals and rebuild safe, regular eating at home

  • Eating responsibility is handed back to your child, gradually and at the right pace for them

  • Focus shifts to getting life back on track and strengthening family communication

Throughout, you're never doing this alone — I'm there with practical guidance every step, and your child is supported with care and compassion.

Exposure for Food-Related Fears

ARFID

If certain foods, textures, or mealtimes bring up real fear or discomfort — common with ARFID — we work through this gently and gradually, starting with what feels manageable and building from there, at your pace.

This might look like:

  • Trying new or previously avoided foods

  • Getting more comfortable with different textures

  • Working through fears around choking or vomiting

  • Easing sensory overwhelm at mealtimes

The goal is simple: more foods you feel okay with, and more confidence sitting down to eat.

ADHD Nutrition Support

ADHD + eating difficulties

If you have ADHD, eating regularly can be genuinely hard — forgetting meals, food planning feeling overwhelming, or swinging between not eating enough and eating impulsively. We build routines that work with your brain, not against it.

Together we work on:

  • Simple meal routines and easy go-to foods

  • Taking the decision fatigue out of food and planning

  • Steadier energy, mood, and focus through the day

  • Appetite swings and emotional eating patterns

The goal is for eating to feel easier and calmer — not one more thing to manage.

Specialist Supportive Clinical Management

Adults with AN

SSCM combines practical nutrition support with a warm, supportive relationship — built specifically for adults with Anorexia Nervosa. It's less about rules and more about working out what's getting in the way of nourishing yourself, together.

Sessions focus on:

  • Building trust, so you feel genuinely heard, not judged

  • Understanding what matters to you and what's standing in the way

  • Setting goals that feel realistic for where you're at

There's no rigid structure — you set the pace, and we keep working toward meaningful change.

Body Image Support

All presentations

Body image work is about gently shifting how you think and feel about your body — not chasing instant positivity, but building more respect and less self-judgment, day to day.

We might explore:

  • Body checking or avoidance habits

  • Who you are beyond how you look

  • How social media and culture shape the way you see yourself

  • The feelings that come up around your body

The goal is a calmer, more flexible relationship with your body — one that lets you get on with your life.

The one that says you are not sick enough to deserve help. The one that says just this once, then you’ll be good. The one that makes you count, hide, plan, avoid, repeat. The one that says no one would understand. That voice is not yours. It&r

Food neutrality is a skill. And takes practise. Our brain needs to know that all food is okay, and that ultimately, food is just food. Practising behavioural experiments around including a variety of foods is an important part of recovery. Only when

Eating disorders are hard to understand, and even harder to explain. They are complex, and they affect the mind just as much as the body. If you're in the middle of one, you already know how isolating it can feel when the people who love you don't qu
