Biography

I am an accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse. I trained at the University of Surrey and completed specialist therapy training through the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) in London. I have worked with individuals and supported families affected by eating disorders since 2004.
At the heart of my work and practice, is a deep commitment to support clients with introspection and more conscious relatedness, holding compassion and hope for individual progress and recovery. Prior to working within the private sector, I spent 17 years in a highly regarded NHS eating disorder service in London, holding leadership and supervisory roles while delivering evidence-based treatments. I have worked with mid-adolescents and adults facing a spectrum of eating disorders, often alongside co-occurring psychological and physical health challenges. My integrative approach draws on a range of therapy modalities, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs. Beyond clinical work, I have contributed to early intervention research projects, led workshops and conference sessions, and played a pivotal role in training and developing multidisciplinary teams. I also have significant experience supporting young adults in their transition to independent living, helping them navigate academic pressures, self-management, and emotional wellbeing.
I believe life is a journey with some great experiences and some challenging hurdles along the way. I consider it a privilege to be able to walk alongside individuals as a support, to work towards their goals & aspirations.
