You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. Many of the clients I support have never been diagnosed, but struggle with constant thoughts about food, their body, their weight, and struggle with cycles of restriction and bingeing.

At the same time, having a diagnosis doesn’t automatically exclude you either. What matters most is where you are right now and whether this way of working feels aligned with what you need.

If you’re unsure, we can always talk it through together. And if I feel you’d be better supported in a different setting, I’ll always be honest about that, your safety and wellbeing come first.

This is a big (and very understandable) question.

The honest answer is: I don’t focus on controlling your weight, so I can’t promise that it will stay the same. What we focus on instead is helping your body come out of the restrict–binge cycle, regulate itself, and find a place where it feels safe and steady.

For many women, that means their weight may shift, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes not much at all. But more importantly, what changes is the constant mental noise, the loss of control, and the feeling of being at war with yourself.

If your current approach hasn’t given you peace, trust, or consistency, it might be worth asking whether continuing to chase weight control is actually giving you what you need.

My work is about helping you feel calm around food, at ease in your body, and free to live your life, not stuck in a cycle that keeps you obsessing on your weight.

Yes, and it’s important to be clear about what this program is and isn’t. This work isn’t about strict rules or “perfect” eating. The focus is on your relationship with food and your body - reducing the mental noise, stress, and self-judgement that currently take up so much space.

From there, you learn to eat enough, regularly, and in ways that actually satisfy you, without falling into restriction, bingeing, or punishment. The goal is a sense of calm and trust, where food no longer feels like something you’re constantly managing or fighting.

When you feel more steady and less reactive, making choices that support your health becomes far more natural. Not because you feel you have to, but because you genuinely want to. It comes from a place of self-trust and care, rather than pressure or fear. So instead of forcing yourself to be “healthy,” you’re creating the conditions where it happens more naturally, in a way that actually lasts.

It’s completely normal to feel anxious about letting go. When control has been your way of coping for so long, the idea of doing things differently can feel unsettling, even unsafe.

But it is also worth asking: where has that control really got you? Has it given you the sense of safety you’re looking for long-term, or has it kept you stuck in the same cycle?

In this work, we don’t rip control away. We look at why it’s there in the first place, and start building a deeper sense of safety underneath it. That includes learning how to tolerate the uncertainty that comes with loosening the rules, in a way that feels gradual and supported, not overwhelming.

And something interesting happens: as your body feels safer and you become less reactive, that need for tight control starts to soften on its own. You’re no longer relying on rules to feel okay. This doesn’t just change how you relate to food, it often ripples into other areas of your life too.

No, you don’t have to force that goal away. It’s completely understandable that it’s there, and this isn’t about arguing with what you want or telling you you’re wrong for wanting it.

What we do instead is gently take that focus off centre stage and place it on the back shelf for now. Not because it doesn’t matter, but because right now it’s often tangled up in the same patterns that are keeping you stuck.

The focus of this work is on creating a safer, steadier relationship with food and your body, reducing the urgency, the reactivity, and the constant mental noise.

For some people, the desire to lose weight softens over time. For others, it stays, but it’s no longer driving their behaviour in the same intense way.

Yes, absolutely.

If you’re in a bigger body, you face a very different set of societal pressures, judgments, and experiences than someone in a smaller body. That’s real, it’s not “just in your head.” I understand how this shapes the way you experience food, your body, and the world around you.

This process doesn’t ignore that. It recognises that your relationship with food and your body has been influenced not only by internal patterns, but by external messages, stigma, and years of being made to feel like you need to change.

The binge/restrict cycle is driven by the same underlying patterns, restriction, reactivity, and a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe - regardless of body size. My approach is the same for everyone, but how we apply it is always personalised, and your experience is taken seriously.

This isn’t about forcing your body into a certain shape or size. It’s about helping you feel steadier, more at ease, and less consumed by food and body thoughts, right here, right now, in the body you have. From there, you can start to relate to yourself and your choices with curiosity, care, and trust, instead of pressure, shame, or fear.

Most of the people I work with are women, largely because of the specific pressures and expectations society places on them. That said, if you relate to the struggles I talk about - feeling stuck in the binge/restrict cycle, anxiety around food, or being overwhelmed by your relationship with your body, you’re absolutely welcome to reach out.

This work isn’t about fitting into a category, it’s about whether it resonates with your experience. If it does, I’d love to explore how it could support you.
