My Training & Experience...
I qualified as a counselling psychologist from Roehampton University in 2010, with a Counselling Psychology MSc and a PgDip in the Practice of Counselling Psychology. I received a distinction for my MSc research project, which focussed on eating issues and body-image distress.
Since then, I have gained lots of experience of working with disordered eating and body image difficulties, both in private practice and within an NHS-funded outpatients service.
​
I also have experience of supervising psychological therapists working with these issues, and have delivered training about eating disorders to other professionals.
I regularly engage in further learning on topics relevant to disordered eating. Some selected events/courses I have attended over recent years include:
​
Advanced Certificate in Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating & Neurodiversity - NEDDE (Neurodiversity, Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating) (2024)
Body Image & Disordered Eating - NEDDE (2024)
