Counselling for emotional eating that prioritises emotional understanding over food rules

Food is such an important part of life

We eat to fuel our bodies. We eat when we socialise. We eat when we celebrate milestones in our lives. We may even eat and find comfort in food when things are not so great. Sometimes, the ever-present nature of food can feel overwhelming and the emotions we experience can create a lot of noise where the only thing we think about is food.

We might notice that we are drawn to certain foods, and experience a vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and feeling uncomfortable in our bodies. This vicious cycle can make us feel self-conscious and prevent us from doing the things we love in life; it can also affect our self-worth and how we fuel our bodies.

Grab a cuppa and get comfortable

The online nature of food therapy means that you can attend sessions from the safety and comfort of your own home. My practice is deeply grounded in self-compassion and I provide a calm, supportive space for you to explore your emotions and experiences at your own pace. I use self-care and practical techniques to provide balance and relief from the deep emotional work we may explore together, including:

Mindfulness and mindful eating
Intuitive eating
Self-care practices to help find balance
Breathing and grounding techniques

Faqs

The fee is £60 for a 50-minute session.
Sessions take place online via zoom from the comfort of your own home.
You’ll need a strong internet connection - strong enough to stream Netflix.
You’ll also need a confidential, safe and comfortable space, free from distractions, to attend sessions from.
The amount of sessions you feel you need is influenced by a number of factors, including:
1. Presenting issues
2. Goals and desired outcomes
3. Finances
4. Readiness to engage with therapy
Regular reviews will take place during our time working together where we can check-in on your progress, book additional sessions or identify and work towards an ending. I am more than happy to be guided by your needs.
However, I do recommend starting with a minimum of 6 sessions in order to see therapeutic benefit.
Sessions take place weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs.
Initially, a shorter duration between sessions may be helpful to establish a strong working relationship and to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of counselling.

I do not tell you what to eat, nor do I provide diet plans or specific dietary advice. Food therapy is a service to support you to overcome emotional eating and to gain confidence in making food choices that feel right for you.
However, we may broadly explore foods but specifically through the lens of intuitive and mindful eating.
I work with clients who emotionally eat to support them to improve their relationship with food.
I also provide counselling for clients that are experiencing anxiety, stress, low-mood or depression.
Unfortunately, I do not work with people who have a confirmed clinical diagnosis of an eating disorder. However, support can be accessed via your GP or via the eating disorder charity BEAT.
The counselling service I provide is not an emergency service however, help is available.
If you feel you are at risk, are experiencing a crisis or feel in danger, please seek immediate help by contacting 999 or making your way to your nearest A&E.
Alternatively, your GP can be contacted or medical advice sought from NHS 111.
Samaritans can be contacted 24/7 on 116 123.
Mental health support can be accessed by texting SHOUT to 85258.
Please do not wait to access help. The support you deserve is available.

I still have some questions! Can I talk to you before starting therapy?

Absolutely! Please submit a contact form and we can arrange a free 20-minute discovery call where you can ask any questions and explore how we can work together to ensure I am the right counsellor for you.
