Are you ready to reclaim your relationship with food and your body?

Do you feel overwhelmed by guilt and a lack of control around food? Are you exhausted from hating your body and obsessing over weight, letting these struggles take over your life?

As both a “trauma-informed” coach and a Root Cause Therapist, my passion is working with clients who recognise that they have underlying thoughts and emotions which continue to keep them stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour on a day-to-day basis.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

People working with me bring a wide range of concerns including (but not limited to); life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, domestic violence, existential crises, grief, chronic health issues etc.

I also work with older teenagers online but not those under 15 years of age.
