Appointments for Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating take place over Zoom. Calls are secured with end-to-end encryption to ensure privacy and security. 

Prior to the call I'll ask you to complete a medical history form and a food diary if appropriate. The service may be suitable for you if you're an adult or under 18 with an Eating Disorder such as Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, or ARFID. It may also be suitable if you do not have an Eating Disorder but have Disordered Eating and/or you wish to improve your relationship with food.

To provide the safest service possible and to ensure that I’m working within best practice guidelines, I may require that you also work with a therapist, and have regular GP appointments.

I can provide tailored meal plans to support you in nutritional rehabilitation. Meal plans involve some degree of flexibility which we will expand as your recovery progresses.  Nutritional rehab is not only essential for overall health but also vital for the function of the brain and nervous system. Research shows that having a well-nourished brain can enable you to better engage in psychological therapies and therefore get more out of your therapy sessions as you work towards recovery.

If I feel that you require more intense support than I can provide on an outpatient basis, I can signpost you to services that I feel are appropriate for you, and I can discuss with your GP. Having the most appropriate treatment for your needs is vital for recovery as well as safety.

I use an evidence-based approach and a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach. HAES is based on scientific research that shows that health is not intrinsically linked to body size in the way that was once believed (and still is believed by many health care professionals). While there is good evidence to suggest that being underweight will increase an individual's health risks, the same does not appear to be true when looking at weight alone in larger body sizes, except at statistical extremes. Instead, we now know that it's health behaviours that are central to our wellbeing, and that healthful behaviours do not effect everyone’s body size in the same way.  

A HAES approach can be helpful in untangling misconceptions about nutrition and health, and can help in cultivating a balanced mindset, which ultimately promotes improved health outcomes.
