No matter your Gender Identity, Sexuality, Gender Expression, Race, or Age, Eating Disorders don't discriminate - and neither do I.
Is Eating Disorder Therapy Right for Me?
From research, we understand that Disordered Eating is a way of coping with childhood unmet needs, and life experiences we have found challenging or impossible to work through. That's where I step in!
I work with the diagnosis and symptoms of Avoidant or Restrictive Eating (ARFID), Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Body Dysmorphia, Emotional Overeating, Muscle Dysmorphia, Obesity, Over-Exercise and Yo-Yo Dieting, as well as challenges which cannot be identified with a standardised label. Please note, I am not currently taking on clients presenting with clinically diagnosed Anorexia Nervosa.
Together we will work collaboratively towards a 'goal' or 'goals' of your choosing, ensuring that the space remains safe for you as we begin our work together. You only have to share what you feel comfortable with, and we see each other as regularly as you feel would be helpful.
