Eating Disorders Diagnosis and Treatment

I’m here to help people who are struggling with the tough realities of eating disorders, offering support from the very first step of diagnosis to the recovery journey. I take the time to understand each individual, drawing from a combination of psychological and medical insights, and in-depth conversations, to really get to the heart of what’s going on. Once we have a clear understanding, I craft a personalised treatment plan. This may include therapies like cognitive-behavioural therapy – Enhanced (CBT-ED) or dialectical-behaviour therapy (DBT), alongside other well-researched approaches.

Working closely with each person, we tackle both the emotional and behavioural sides of eating disorders, guiding them towards a healthier connection with food and their body. I also make sure to include family support when needed, and collaborate with GPs to keep an eye on any medical needs. My goal is to help people move toward recovery, building not just their physical health, but also a more positive view of themselves and their relationship with food.

ADHD

I specialise in offering a thorough approach to managing ADHD, aiming to help both children and adults navigate the challenges it brings. My method isn’t a one-size-fits-all. It’s flexible, crafted to meet the unique needs of each person.

What I focus on most is helping individuals develop strategies that make daily life a bit easier. This includes techniques to sharpen focus, improve time management, and get more organised. These tools are practical, and they form the foundation for a better overall sense of well-being and quality of life.

With my experience in neurodevelopmental disorders, I’m equipped to deal with the nuances of ADHD, helping people not only manage symptoms but truly flourish. It’s about empowering individuals to live fulfilling lives, where they can continue to grow, build self-confidence, and develop the skills needed for long-term success.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

I offer specialised therapy for children and adult diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with a particular focus on helping them develop emotional regulation skills. My approach is designed to meet the unique emotional needs of each individual, and I believe collaboration is key. I work closely with both the individual and their families to understand and support these emotional challenges.

A key part of my work involves helping individuals understand that ASD is not a disorder, but rather a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world. Emotional dysregulation can often be a response to an environment that hasn't been adjusted to the needs of an autistic mind. Together, we build strategies that help the individual express and manage their feelings in healthier ways. I create a safe and nurturing environment, where the individual can explore their emotions with confidence and start learning how to navigate their emotional world.

The goal of my work is simple: to enhance the well-being of these individuals by helping them build a strong sense of self. Through this process, they learn to thrive and embrace their unique way of being. By equipping them with emotional tools, they can not only improve their quality of life but also forge more meaningful social connections, leading to richer interactions and a greater sense of fulfilment as they reach their fullest potential.

Trauma

I offer trauma-focused therapy, where I support people in their healing from past experiences that have caused them deep pain. My focus is on using well-researched methods to guide clients through the complex process of recovery.

By working together, we help individuals regain control, rebuild their resilience, and emerge from their trauma with a renewed sense of strength. I believe that, with the right guidance and support, anyone can move past their trauma and come out the other side more empowered and ready to face life’s next chapter.

Sense of Self

Therapy isn’t just about fixing problems . Often it’s about finding and embracing your true self. Through self-reflection and guided exploration, therapy helps individuals connect with their core beliefs, values, and identity.

This journey fosters self-awareness, boosts self-esteem, and helps people build a deep, authentic connection with who they are. It’s a way to build confidence and live a life that feels aligned with your deepest truths. In the end, therapy helps individuals feel more grounded in who they are, allowing them to move forward with greater authenticity and fulfilment.

Anxiety

If you’re struggling with anxiety, therapy offers a safe space where we can work together to find the root causes, and explore ways to cope. The goal is to help you feel more in control and restore some balance to your life.

Using evidence-based techniques, we focus on building tools to manage the stress and uncertainty that anxiety brings. Therapy equips you with strategies to improve your overall well-being, so you can regain a sense of peace and stability, no matter what life throws your way.

Depression

For those dealing with depression, therapy offers a supportive environment to begin the journey of healing. It’s a space to safely explore what’s causing your low mood, and work through those tough emotions with the help of proven therapeutic approaches.

Together, we’ll find effective coping strategies that allow you to move towards a brighter future. Therapy can help you rediscover hope, improve your mood, and find purpose and joy again in life, because you deserve to feel better, and you don’t have to face it alone.
