Area of specialisation

Eating Disorders

I am expertly qualified and equipped to deal with a range of problems and/or addictions. My primary area of expertise is eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa/Bulimia Nervosa), though my therapeutic care and support extends to include depression and relationship counselling.

My View on Eating Disorders

Contrary to popular belief that anorexia and bulimia are issues isolated to food and eating, I believe that they are about feelings. Rather than viewing disordered eating behaviours as the root of the problem, I view them as superficial symptoms masking what is, in fact, a deeper hurt – the hurt of a self that is seeking to be noticed; a self that has fallen out of love with itself.

Serious Afflictions

Anorexia and bulimia are disorders that lie very close to my heart – I’ve witnessed first-hand the devastating and destructive effect they can have on their victims, in extreme cases even resulting in death.
