About me & my approach

I’m a HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist (Sport and Exercise Psychology) with a focus on Exercise Psychology and a background in adult weight management. I will work with you in a collaborative and non-judgemental way to help you explore what might be keeping you stuck in unhealthy habits and to establish a healthy relationship with food and movement. We will also focus on making gradual and sustainable changes.

I use an integrative approach and draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. During our sessions we will focus on your thoughts and feelings in relation to food and physical activity and how they may be impacting on your behaviour. We may also discuss other areas of your life that may have an impact on your eating and physical activity behaviour such as sleep, work, relationships and other lifestyle behaviours. If I feel that something is outside of my scope of practice, I may signpost you on to another service that is better suited to help you.

Whilst our sessions will involve talking therapy, I also believe in doing therapy. Therefore in between sessions I may ask you to engage in tasks which may be beneficial to you, such as practicing skills/techniques that could support you with your psychological challenges around food and physical activity.
