Specialist Nutritional Therapy for Eating Disorders
Has food and thoughts about food and body shape come to dominate your life? Do you know that your eating habits are not ‘normal’? Has your behaviour around food become so automatic you feel stuck?
Having suffered from an eating disorder as a teenager and gone on to study nutritional therapy to better understand what had happened to me, I have developed a Food Relationship Enhancement Package to support people with disordered eating, including binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
Eating disorders are serious medical conditions. I can work with clients with an eating disorder only if they are willing to work with me, and if they are seeing other health care providers such as a counsellor or psychologist. I would also need to have contact with their GP.

My approach is about fostering a healthy relationship with food and supporting you in improving your quality of life in a safe and sustainable way. This entails both nutritional and lifestyle advice, and incorporates cognitive, emotional, and behavioural therapy techniques.
I understand that every person’s situation is different, so I work closely with you to tailor the Food Relationship Enhancement programme to your needs.
This may involve:
- Developing your knowledge of food and nutrition to reduce anxieties and misconceptions
- Helping you understand your relationship with food and why you feel stuck
- Fostering your intention to change
- Helping you learn new behaviours to turn intention into action, while at the same time allowing you to enjoy life and be more at ease around food
- Addressing non-dietary influences on food choices
Food relationships enhancement packages
I offer two Food Relationship Enhancement Packages. The first is a shorter version focused on helping you understand and stabilize your symptoms and determine your next steps. The second is a more comprehensive version aimed at working alongside your other health care providers to help you thoroughly address your food relationship issues.
- Stabilise Your Eating Disorder: 12 weeks
- Food Relationship Enhancement: 36 weeks
Both packages include nutritional therapy to identify necessary changes to your diet and lifestyle, as well as coaching sessions to support you in making these changes and overcoming any challenges you may face.
How it works
Every package is made up of four main steps:
It all begins by exploring your current health, diet and lifestyle using pre-consultation questionnaires.
In our first consultation, we review Step 1, explore your goals, and assess past self-care efforts to create a tailored plan.
I create tailored recommendations for food, supplements, and lifestyle changes, and lab testing options as needed.
Through therapy and coaching, we build your nutrition knowledge, self-care habits, and tools to maintain your progress.
