About Me

I have been an Accredited Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) since 2000. For 9 years (1993 – 2002) I was an advice writer (agony uncle) for a number of publications.
I have appeared on the Richard and Judy show as a guest expert and in 2001-2 I was a regular guest expert on ITV’s ‘Trisha’ show.

My reason for specialising in eating disorders is specific and personal: in my later teens I developed anorexia. At the time, where I was living, there was no specialist help and I did not want to enter the world of medical/chemical intervention. Instead I looked inside myself and found the information, and the process, for curing my own eating disorder.

It is in the last two years that I have started to develop my own, specific, eating disorder recovery programme. I have been influenced by a number of helpful approaches I have encountered over the years.
Therapeutic and other elements that form part of my approach are present in other forms of therapy, but I believe the sum total of the elements that make up my approach – based on direct experience, not theory – is unique.

My approach is based firmly on offering information and support for the individual to find their own way through unlocking the trauma of a disorder, and recovering a normal eating and functioning life.
