Biography
I am a registered dietitian, specialising in child and adolescent eating disorders. I have worked within this field for ~10 years. My experience spans across child and adults, and NHS and private care.
approach to treatment
My approach is collaborative and client centred. I work with my clients to support them in their recovery, and feel that developing a strong therapeutic alliance is key to working together to achieve goals. I am passionate about providing evidence based nutritional interventions for my clients, as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
areas of interest / specialism
I work with clients suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and ARFID, as well as undiagnosed or unclassified disordered eating. I am actively involved in research, and currently hold a grant to investigate adaptations that can better support autistic young people who require intensive eating disorder treatment.
