Expert Nutrition Guidance and support to make beneficial changes
Eating Disorder Recovery
I am qualified and experienced in supporting clients to recover from Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and ARFID. I can also support you if you have a troubled relationship with food but don’t fit into a diagnostic category or have never received a diagnosis.
I pride myself on tailoring my service to the needs and goals of the individual. I can offer meal plans and detailed dietary guidance. With many of my clients we work on challenging food fears and rules around food.
For restrictive eating disorders I can support weight gain to get to where your body naturally wants to sit. I can also support the restoration of menstrual periods.
With Binge Eating Disorder I support my clients to identify triggers and fuel themselves well to reduce the binges.
For all of my clients I give actions in between sessions so that the work is consistent and allows you to meet your goals. I recommend weekly or fortnightly sessions to best support your progress with recovery.
Food freedom
Food freedom is the ideal end point of healing your relationship with food.
Many people have a difficult relationship with food due to years of dieting, or growing up in a culture that praised weight loss and thinness. I adopt an anti-diet stance and choose to focus on health and quality of life, as opposed to numbers on a scale. The scientific evidence also supports this.
My philosophy is that all foods fit and that all bodies are worthy.
Veganism
I have a particular interest in vegan nutrition, as I am vegan myself for animal rights and environmental reasons.
I have supported previous clients to understand how to best fuel themselves on a vegan diet, with a nutrition-MOT style consultation.
I have also supported many vegans who also have eating disorders. This is a specialism of mine and I firmly believe that you can recover from an eating disorder while being vegan, it just requires a well planned diet to minimise the risk of deficiencies and honest reflection about your motivations.
I have a catalogue of vegan recipes which are free from diet talk and calorie/macro information. You can check these out here.
Guided Self-Help
Guided self help is the NICE guidance - first line recommended intervention for Binge Eating Disorder and mild to moderate Bulimia Nervosa. It can also be used in those who may not fully fit the diagnostic criteria.
I am trained and experienced in delivering Guided Self Help. It is a 7 session intervention, which is a very short intervention, and involves following a detailed handbook which supports you to understand why you have developed an eating disorder, to understand your triggers and implement changes to support you to overcome your eating disorder.
