About the Therapist

About the therapist:

As a queer person I get that problems with food, anxiety and body image are very common in our community.

My emphasis is not only on your problems but in helping you to live a spiritually, culturally and socially rich life.

Get in touch for a free 30 minute introductory chat.

I understand the complex issues around anorexia, bulimia and OCD and how to use techniques such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

This is your first step towards recovery. You can be free from your obsessions and compulsions and problems with food, body image and exercise. The first step is simply to talk about what's going on with an empathetic and understanding person.

Experience and approach:

I have long experience working in the National Eating Disorders and OCD Services in the NHS. I still work there part time in a large team of doctors, psychologists, dieticians, occupational therapists, and specialist nurses. This gives me the opportunity to continue to learn from colleagues and patients, and also to contribute to and support the NHS.

I understand this can be terrifying: whether it's restrictive eating, guilt and shame around food, over-exercising, rigid thinking and routines, bingeing and purging, OCD, depression, anxiety or anything else. We will work together using graded exposure exercises (ERP). You can begin to regain your freedom and live the life you never thought you deserved.
