Eating disorders counselling
I have extensive experience working with individuals facing a range of eating disorders, including Compulsive Overeating, Binge Eating Disorder, Anorexia, Bulimia, Orthorexia, EDNOS, and ARFID. My passion for this field runs deep. For ten years, I served as the Senior Eating Disorder Consultant at Start2Stop London, where I led weekly support groups and provided one-on-one assistance to those struggling with eating disorders. Additionally, I held the position of London Coordinator for Montrose Manor, an overseas treatment centre for eating disorders. I believe that eating disorders often reflect a complex interplay between a person's emotional state and what I call "food and weight land." Interestingly, these disorders are not truly about food or weight; they act as a means of communication, protection, emotional regulation, and comfort for many individuals. I collaborate closely with a dietitian to ensure that clients' nutritional needs are met, allowing me to focus on supporting clients in navigating their emotional landscapes. I maintain regular contact with clients as they work to separate their emotions from their relationship with food, weight, and exercise. The aim of therapy is to help clients manage their emotions in a healthier manner, free from the constraints of an eating disorder. I advocate for a balanced approach to eating that encourages freedom from the rules imposed by eating disorders.
