Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food and constantly trying to lose weight? You’re “good” for a few weeks, only to self-sabotage and beat yourself up after another binge. Perhaps food has always been the go to – whether you’re happy, stressed, or frustrated. Or perhaps exercise is the problem. You need to do it, but it makes you miserable. You may struggle with body image, or even hate yourself for letting your body get to this state. If these resonate, you’re not alone. It’s easy to get stuck in these negative cycles, without knowing how to get out. The good news is, it’s possible to change.
I’m a HCPC-registered Exercise Psychologist specialising in weight loss therapy, disordered eating and exercise. Whether you’re struggling with binge-eating, emotional eating, exercise anxiety or exercise dependence, I’ll help you explore the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are keeping you stuck and develop alternative, more helpful cycles.
We’re told weight loss is simply about eating less and moving more. In reality, most people can do this for a few weeks or months. But changing behaviour over the long-term is incredibly challenging. With an empathic, non-judgemental approach, I can help you make lasting changes that reduce the “noise” in your head and free you up to enjoy life again.

I work with clients to help them explore the challenges they are facing in relation to exercise, eating and/or weight. This might include evaluating ingrained thinking patterns and emotional responses, and together coming up with action plans to integrate small, doable changes into their lives. The focus is on lasting change rather than a quick fix approach.
