Weight, food and emotional eating
You know what you "should" eat. Knowing has never been the problem.
Maybe you've lost weight before, only for it to come back. Maybe you eat when you're stressed, bored, tired or low, and feel worse afterwards. Diets promise quick results, but they rarely tackle why the old habits return.
Weight is shaped by much more than willpower: stress, sleep, emotions, routines, the people around us and the beliefs we've picked up about food and ourselves. That's where a psychologist can help.
How therapy helps
Using CBT, we'll look at the patterns behind your eating: the triggers, the thoughts and the habits that keep you stuck. Together we'll build a calmer relationship with food and lasting changes you can actually live with, without starving yourself or putting your health at risk.

Why work with me
Alongside my training as a Counselling Psychologist, I hold an MSc in Obesity Risk and Prevention and an MSc in Health Psychology, so I understand both the psychology and the physical health side of weight.
If you're worried that your eating may have become an eating disorder, please talk to your GP. Beat, the UK's eating disorder charity, also offers free support.
