A space for you
This is not about fixing you.
You are not broken.
Living with a difficult relationship with food, your body, or yourself is exhausting. The inner noise, the rules, the shame, the guilt — they take up so much space. Therapy offers you somewhere different to put it all down, even for an hour.
Here, you can arrive as you are — unfiltered, complicated, uncertain. There is no performance required, no progress to prove. Just room to explore what’s happening for you, at a pace that feels right.
My approach
Acceptance and change — together
My work is rooted in a Humanistic and Person-Centred approach. This means I believe that within the right conditions — warmth, genuine acceptance, and honesty — something shifts. You don’t need to be pushed or fixed. You need to be met, to have someone there with you.
I have a particular interest in co-creating therapy spaces for people exploring their relationship with food, body, health, identity, and relationships. Whether you’re navigating an eating disorder, disordered eating, body image struggles, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself — this work can hold all of that.
If there’s something we can adapt to make therapy work better for you — the structure, the pace, the format — I’m always open to finding a way to make it happen.
Something I’ve come to believe deeply is that acceptance and change are not opposites — they are, in fact, the same movement. In my work with people navigating eating disorders and a difficult relationship with food and body, I don’t arrive with a plan for who you should become or how quickly you should get there. Instead, I try to create the conditions in which something can shift — genuinely, and at your own pace. Those conditions are warmth, honesty, and the kind of unconditional regard that means you don’t have to earn your place in the room. What I’ve seen, time and again, is that when a person feels truly accepted — not despite the parts of themselves they find most difficult, but including them — something loosens. Not because they’ve been fixed, but because they’ve been met. And from that place of being met, change becomes possible in a way that fighting, pushing, and willing yourself forward rarely allows. The eating disorder often makes a kind of sense when we look at it honestly — it has been doing something, holding something, protecting something. We don’t discard that understanding. We get curious about it. And in that curiosity, something begins to move.
Healing happens like a string of lights
The Process
You might come in wanting the big fix, the moment that everything shifts all at once. Instead, picture a string of lights. Each small insight, each session where something softens or resonates, that’s another bulb coming on. At first they might feel insignificant. But slowly, you’ll start to see the glow behind you, the warmth gathering around you and eventually the paths you hadn’t seen before beginning to illuminate. Then maybe at some point, you’ll recognise and believe that you are the source of that light.
Truly led by you.

Therapy is a brave space, where you can bring all of you – unfiltered, messy and complex. So that you can have room to be. And then go from there.
You don’t need to have the right words, or know what you want to explore yet. Showing up is enough of a start.
