I am a Psychotherapist and Researcher working in the NHS and in private practice. I have a special interest in researching and treating eating disorders. I can also offer treatment for a range of other psychological difficulties that may be experienced alongside eating problems, including the list below. I offer a service to people who are able to access support from the NHS, but who make a choice to seek help privately instead.
- Emotional eating or avoidance of food
- Selective eating
- Eating disorders (including binge eating disorder)
- Stress, worry, panic and anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Social anxiety
- Phobias
- Depression
- Interpersonal problems
- Trauma
- IBS
- Body dysmorphia
I use a range of NICE-recommended psychotherapy approaches in my work, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Couple Therapy for Depression (CTfD), plus specialist approaches for treating eating disorders, including versions of CBT especially designed to treat eating disorders, such as CBT-E and CBT-T.

I regret that I am not currently accepting new referrals for young people. For your information, in England, there are nationally published standards in relation to access and waiting times for young people accessing support from the NHS for an eating disorder. These standards can be read from the link below.
If you are seeking support for an eating disorder, here is the link to contact and make a self-referral to the NHS specialist service in Gloucestershire:
