Biography
Whilst completing my doctoral training at The University of Manchester, I was inspired by the writings of Susie Orbach. Her insights inspired me to reflect upon the way in which in our society and views of our bodies are interrelated with how we view and identify with ourselves.
approach to treatment
My original training took a humanistic stance, which remains the core of my approach currently. This means my aim is to relate to the whole individual instead of seeing someone through the lens of a diagnosis. This stance lends itself to encouraging self-exploration and awareness, validating each client’s human potential. I aim to creatively adapt my therapeutic approach to the needs and stories of each individual. I favour a collaborative approach to the therapeutic process, working with clients to come to a shared understanding of what they need.
areas of interest / specialism
During my training, I worked at a community-based eating disorders service in Manchester. I have also worked within the NHS at an adult eating disorder service, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked in private practice at The London Centre since 2015. I primarily see adult clients.
