A gentler path to food freedom

What Is Disordered Eating?

Disordered eating is any pattern of eating, food-related behaviour, or thoughts about food and body image that causes distress, takes up significant mental energy, or affects your quality of life.

It exists on a spectrum. You do not need to have an eating disorder diagnosis for your struggles with food to be valid or deserving of support.

For many people, these patterns develop gradually. What starts as a desire to be healthier, lose weight, improve symptoms, or gain control during a stressful period can slowly become restrictive, exhausting, or overwhelming.

Disordered eating can affect people of all ages, body sizes, genders, and backgrounds.

It Might Look Like...

• Feeling guilty, anxious, or ashamed after eating certain foods

• Constantly thinking about food, calories, weight, or body shape

• Following strict food rules that feel difficult to break

• Skipping meals or restricting food to compensate for eating

• Feeling out of control around food

• Repeated cycles of dieting, overeating, and starting again

• Emotional eating during times of stress, loneliness, boredom, or overwhelm

• Avoiding social occasions because food feels stressful

• Exercising primarily to "earn" food or make up for eating

• Fear of certain foods despite wanting more flexibility

• Feeling that your self-worth is linked to your body size or eating habits

• Becoming increasingly anxious about eating "perfectly" or "cleanly"

You Do Not Need To Reach Crisis Point Before Getting Support

Many people wait until things feel severe before seeking help.

The reality is that the earlier support is received, the easier it can be to interrupt unhelpful patterns and begin building a healthier relationship with food.

I work with adults and older teenagers who are experiencing disordered eating patterns and would like support in developing a more balanced, sustainable relationship with food, health, and their bodies.

Whether you are taking your first steps or have already started your recovery journey, support can be tailored to where you are now.

Areas I Commonly Support

Chronic Dieting & Restriction

Perhaps you've spent years trying different diets, cutting foods out, tracking everything you eat, and feeling frustrated when the results never seem to last.

You may know what to eat, but feel trapped in cycles of restriction, guilt, and starting over.

Together, we work towards rebuilding trust in your body and finding a way of eating that supports both health and quality of life.

Emotional Eating

Food may feel comforting, soothing, distracting, or difficult to stop once you start.

Often emotional eating is not a lack of willpower but a coping strategy that developed for understandable reasons.

We explore the patterns underneath the behaviour with curiosity rather than judgement.

Food Anxiety & Body Image Concerns

You may find yourself constantly analysing food choices, worrying about weight gain, or feeling uncomfortable in your body.

These thoughts can take up enormous amounts of mental energy.

Support focuses on reducing anxiety, improving body trust, and helping you feel more at ease around food and your body.

Orthorexia & Healthy Eating Anxiety

Sometimes a genuine desire to improve health becomes increasingly rigid and stressful.

Foods become categorised as "good" or "bad", eating out feels difficult, and health habits begin to dominate daily life.

My approach helps you maintain your health goals while bringing back flexibility, enjoyment, and balance.

Digestive Conditions & Restrictive Diets

Many of my clients initially come seeking help for IBS, SIBO, food intolerances, hormonal issues, or autoimmune conditions.

Sometimes necessary dietary changes can unintentionally contribute to food fears, restriction, or anxiety around eating.

I help clients navigate therapeutic nutrition plans while protecting their relationship with food wherever possible.

My Approach

As a specially trained Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach, I take a compassionate, non-judgemental, and weight-inclusive approach.

Our work may include:

• Understanding your relationship with food and dieting history

• Identifying patterns of restriction, bingeing, or food anxiety

• Rebuilding regular eating habits

• Improving confidence around food choices

• Supporting digestive health without creating unnecessary restriction

• Exploring stress, lifestyle, and emotional factors that influence eating

• Developing practical skills for sustainable nourishment

• Supporting body acceptance and self-compassion

There is no expectation of perfection.

The goal is not to eat perfectly.

The goal is to create a relationship with food that supports your physical health, emotional wellbeing, and ability to live your life fully.

If you are currently working with a GP, psychologist, psychotherapist, counsellor, psychiatrist, or other healthcare professional, I am happy to work collaboratively alongside them, with your consent.

If additional support would be beneficial, I can also help signpost you towards appropriate services and specialist eating disorder resources.
