About me

I am a Masters qualified dietitian, working in the field of dietetics since 2012. An accredited practitioner in the field of eating disorders with Eating Disorders Education and Training Scotland (EEATS).

I have worked both in private and NHS eating disorder settings since 2017, gaining expertise in helping individuals of all ages (children, adolescents and adults) with complex clinical conditions including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and ARFID, as well as mental health conditions including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia.

I am passionate about helping people build a more positive relationship with food. I understand that life experiences and the media, which is flooded with conflicting advice, can cause us to lose our connection with our body and imbalance our relationship with food.

Sorting through complex information and advice about diet can require specialist help and support, which I aim to provide in a non-judgemental supportive environment. I understand that everyone is unique. Drawing upon my training in behaviour change techniques, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural strategies, I will work with you to understand your eating behaviours as part of the bigger picture that is your life as a whole and find ways to support dietary change using appropriate tools and techniques, including mindfulness.

It is about finding the right answers for you, to provide you with the solid foundation needed for healthy lifelong eating patterns.

How can I support you?

- Individually tailored nutritional guidance to assist you in achieving a lasting dietary behaviour change that is beneficial for health and wellbeing, both for now and in the future (for example, in relation to mental health, bone health or fertility)

- Helping to dispel food myths or misconceptions

-Supporting you to let go of unhelpful and unnecessary food rules, to allow for increased food freedom and flexibility

- Supporting you in challenging any identified fear foods

- Providing education when needed around what a balanced dietary intake looks like and what appropriate portions sizes are

I look forward to working with you and being a part of your journey to health.
