Online intuitive eating consultations so you can feel good around food.

Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based, non-diet approach to self care and nourishing your body.

Dieting, or following food rules, drives us to use external cues to know when and what to eat. Focusing on what we "should" do leaves us unsatisfied, craving "bad" foods, hyperfocused on our weight and feeling like a failure.

Intuitive Eating is a framework to take you out of your head and back into your body. You will learn to satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness, cope with emotions, view foods neutrally and let go of obsessive thoughts around food. It is an approach that removes weight from the equation so you can focus on nourishing your body in the way that feels best.

I'm a Registered Dietitian in the UK and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) - the governing body of UK health professionals. I am held accountable to evidenced-based care under UK law.

Additionally I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. This means I specialise in the biological, psychological and emotional drives to eating. My certification holds me accountable to non-diet, inclusive care for all bodies.

I have completed additional training in eating disorders and trauma informed care.

I have worked in Clinical Dietetics across hospitals in Australia and the UK in both the NHS and private settings including in an eating disorder unit.

My availability for consultations:

Wednesday: 5pm-7pm

Thursday: 9am-5pm

An initial consultation includes 60 minutes of face-face (online) time, 30 minutes of pre-clinical time to assess your forms and plan and 30-45 minutes of time to follow up after (send you activities/ write to your team if required). It is an investment of £130.

A follow up appointment includes 50 minutes of face-face (online) time, 15 minutes of pre-clinical time and 30-45 minutes of time to follow up after (send you activities/ write to your team if required). It is an investment of £120.

There's also packages which are displayed on the page which save you some money.

The first step to healthy eating is a healthy relationship with food. We focus on improving your connection with your body so you can satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness

I can't say what your body will do but trying to control or change the size of your body is not a part of intuitive eating and shown to cause harm.

After stopping dieting, some people may lose weight, some may gain weight and some will stay the same. Although we are not working to control your body, we will explore weight and your relationship with your body as well as work on your health goals if that is what you want.

Body image is in your thoughts and beliefs. Improving body image and feeling better in your body is certainly part of our work together.

Most clients I work with have tried different forms of diets, whether that be one-size-fits-all meal plans or working with a professional who has provided advice on when or how to eat.

In my experience, neither of these work because they are not teaching you how to eat.

When we work together I don't tell you what or when to eat, but rather teach you how to connect back into your body so you can satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness, cope with emotion without food, naturally stop binge eating and eat in a way that is enjoyable and feels good.

This way you won't feel restricted and there is no diet plan to break.

The unique between session lessons and activities in the Food Freedom Collective provide further chance for you to learn, explore and reflect in your own time so we can get even more out of our sessions together. Additionally you have unlimited access to email me any questions, challenges and wins so you never feel alone.

Although a meal plan telling you when and what to eat sounds tempting, in my experience it is only a short term bandaid solution.

If you need gentle guidance to nourish your body I may provide a structure to support you initially but the ultimate goal is for you to have full autonomy over your eating for a lifetime of food freedom.

To do this you will learn how to connect back with your body's natural hunger and fullness cues, to find satisfaction and cope with your emotions in more supportive ways so you won't ever feel you need someone else to tell you what to eat again.

This is diet culture speaking. Eating what we want from a diet mindset, means we will feel out of control and it won't feel so good.

Eating what you want from an intuitive eater perspective is completely different to this. You eat what you want from a place of self care and learn to find satisfaction from food so you no longer feel out of control.

I am a Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian and additionally work in an NHS eating disorder service.

Becoming an intuitive eater can certainly be a great goal to have if you are in recovery from an eating disorder.

Because your eating disorder voice can really interfere with your ability to connect with your body to guide you, it is important you first work on getting to a place you are eating regularly and enough food and are weight restored if required.

But you certainly deserve to go further than that. Feel free to learn more about how I suport eating disorder recovery here.

As all eating disorders are unique, I will assess clients on an individual basis as to whether my support is a good fit.

As a team based approach is important for eating disorder recovery, I will likely require you visit your GP and may need you to see a psychologist regularly as well.

Feel free to get in touch for a free discovery call to discuss further.

Most of my clients report food and body thoughts taking up a huge amount of headspace and time, from tracking calories to obsessively thinking about food. Doing this work actually saves you time in the long run.

There's never going to be a perfect time to start as something will always come up. Often the busy times can be when this work is even more important.

Often we are hesitant to spend money on our health and wellbeing but will easily spend £100 or so on diet food or a gym membership we don't enjoy using.

It can be difficult to see the value in something that is not a physical entity, however your mental and physical health is one of the most valuable things you can invest in.

Many of my clients find they save money in the long term through having increased headspace and focus and spending less money on dieting.
