About me and my therapy practice
My particular field of interest is the treatment of eating disorders - particularly in adolescents and young adults. I have personally witnessed how eating disorders sufferers frequently feel stigmatized, judged and shamed and I am passionate about creating a supportive, communicative and empathic treatment model in which patients are understood in an holistic way and provided with multifaceted psychotherapeutic support, in order to make a full recovery. I have over 19 years experience in the field of Mental Health – treating Eating Disorders, Trauma & PTSD, Anxiety, Addiction, Depression and Comorbidities. I am an advocate of removing all stigma around mental health issues and am dedicated to providing exemplary care for those who deal with these conditions.
My first session
I recommend the initial session / assessment is extended to 80 minutes. This offers both the clients and myself time to gain a good understanding of how we can work together, their goals and hopes from therapy and if we together can work towards these changes. An 80 minute initial assessment fee is £225
