Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating

 
 

Do you have an Eating Disorder?

Eating Disorders can affect anyone, no matter what age or gender. Eating Disorders can be a way of coping and managing difficult feelings. Do you find yourself feeling unhappy, stressed, anxious or even under pressure from others? Taking the step to talk to someone who wants to listen and support you, can help to reduce the loneliness and isolation that is often experienced. It can feel daunting to tell someone what is happening. I work with individuals from 11years to older adults who feel distress and anxiety around food. I have a Post Qualifying Diploma in Eating Disorders and am passionate about helping you to start the journey towards recovery.

 
 

I also work with Young People Aged 11-18 years

As a part-time School Counsellor, I know how important it is to support young people and their mental health. Balancing today's demands, young people can become overwhelmed and not know how to manage their emotions. Friendship breakdowns; family concerns; body image battles; anger; bullying and bereavement are all things that can feel scary to a young person. Being able to talk about what's going on, feel safe and listened to, can help a young person express themselves and learn new ways of coping with confusing emotions.

Working creatively

Sometimes, there are no words…

Sometimes, when we can find no words to express how we are feeling, using everyday objects can help a young person to express in a way that words cannot.
