Specialist Binge-Eating Therapist (UK & Ireland)

I know what it’s like to be someone who can figure almost anything out — and not be able to figure this out.

In my teens and twenties, what started as “trying to be healthy” spiralled into restriction, over-exercise, and bingeing. Even when I looked recovered, I still felt disconnected — constantly chasing an impossible ideal and never feeling enough.

Recovery wasn’t neat or linear. It was slow, messy, and full of self-doubt.
But it taught me something powerful: struggles with food are rarely about food itself.

When I later trained as a therapist, I began hearing the same patterns from clients — intelligent, capable people using food to cope with stress, shame, or emotional overload. I recognised myself in their stories. Over time, I came to understand how much our brains, hormones, and nervous systems influence the way we relate to food — especially when we’re running on empty or trying to manage everything at once.

As someone later diagnosed with ADHD, and now navigating perimenopause myself, I understand firsthand how much harder everything becomes when your brain and hormones are working against you — including your relationship with food. What looks like a lack of discipline from the outside is often something far more complex underneath.

That realisation shaped both my personal healing and my professional approach. It’s the foundation of the work I now do — helping clients find calm and clarity where there’s been chaos and self-blame.

How I work

Therapy with me is:

Down-to-earth and non-judgemental — somewhere you can say the things you’ve never said out loud about food, your body, and how you feel about yourself.

Curious rather than corrective — I’m not here to tell you what to eat, or to check whether you did it. No meal plans, no calorie targets, no weigh-ins.

Built around your actual life — including the weeks when everything slips, because those are the weeks worth understanding.

What the work actually looks like

Mostly, we get curious.

When it happens. What comes just before it. The ritual around it — the same cupboard, the same time of night, the same programme on in the background. What food is doing for you in that moment, because it is doing something, and it’s usually working.

Then we look at the bigger picture. What you’ve come to believe all of this says about you. That’s often the loudest voice in the room, and it’s the part that keeps the cycle turning long after the eating is over.

It’s slower than a plan, and it lasts longer. For most people it’s the first time anyone has looked at their eating with curiosity instead of judgement.

Food might be the starting point, but the work is really about helping you feel more free, grounded and present — so food and weight stop running your life.
