Biography

I am a registered mental health nurse with over 32 years’ experience in acute and community mental health. I specialised in adult eating disorders 14 years ago, and until recently I was the Senior Nurse Specialist for an NHS Adult Eating Disorder Service, and I am currently the Service Manager for a new early intervention and prevention service for eating disorders.

approach to treatment

Eating Disorders can impact every area of a person’s life and as a result, change can be challenging and at times scary, but with the right support I believe that change is always possible and there is always hope for recovery. As a therapist I aim to be consistent, warm, and approachable. We will work collaboratively towards goals and build on strengths so that life can start to feel brighter and freer.

areas of interest / specialism

I have experience of working with people at various stages and severity of their eating disorder. I can adapt my practice for people who may require support to develop skills around emotional regulation, anxiety and low mood alongside addressing their eating disorder. My nursing background gives me the skills and experience to be able to create the therapeutic relationship and space that is needed.
