Biography

I am a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) and Intuitive Eating Counsellor specialised in Eating Disorders and disordered eating. I qualified as a nutritionist in 2019 from the University of Nottingham and subsequently completed an MSc in Eating Disorders and Clinical Nutrition from UCL, and recently a MSc in Psychology.

approach to treatment

I take a warm, evidence-based and individualised approach. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all nutrition advice. Sessions are collaborative and non-judgmental, and I take time to understand not just what you eat, but how food, health and your body connect to your wider wellbeing. I work with the whole person, not just the presenting concern, and draw on evidence-based guidance to inform my practice. I also aim to build your understanding of nutrition, so you feel genuinely informed and empowered throughout our work together, not just told what to do, but equipped with tools that last.

areas of interest / specialism

My work sits at the intersection of nutrition, body image, and the psychological relationship with food. I have a particular interest in disordered eating and eating disorders across the spectrum, the impact of diet culture on physical and psychological health, body image, self-worth, and appearance-related distress. I am passionate about supporting clients in rebuilding a peaceful, confident relationship with food and their bodies, and working with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of restriction, guilt, or confusion around eating.

  • When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me travelling, trying new foods, and soaking up different cultures with the people I love. I’m a firm believer that food is about so much more than nutrition, and that belief shapes everything I do in clinic.

Q&A with Andrea

Your first session is a chance to talk openly about where you are and what’s brought you here without pressure. I’ll ask questions to understand your relationship with food and your body, and together we’ll start to map out what you’d like to be different.
