Professional Coach
1:1 Coaching
I work alongside people with restrictive eating disorders, which I now consider to be a brain-based addiction
to energy deficit.
Using coaching approaches grounded in neuroscience, I offer clients time and space to explore themselves and better understand the eating disorder.
I want people to understand they CAN change and empower them to do so, developing skills to manage their fear and anxiety, tolerate the difficult emotions that the process to overcome an eating disorder can create and discover food and body freedom to ultimately THRIVE!

Coaching Provides You With the Opportunity to:
-
Work in confidence with a professional coach & mentor who is not involved in your wider personal or professional life so you feel safe to be yourself.
-
Acknowledge your disordered thoughts, behaviours and fears, identify potential triggers and understand yourself better.
-
Recognise patterns of thinking, beliefs or identities you are carrying that are unhelpful.
-
Explore what you do want from life, identifying with a future you who you know will bring you greater fulfilment.
-
Learn to be vulnerable when you need to be, honest with and trusting of yourself and others.
-
Recognise what steps outside of your comfort zone you need to and are willing to take in order to reach your full recovery potential (e.g. EAT and REST!!).
-
Develop skills in managing emotions that are not destructive and so become more resilient to life's ups and downs.
-
Open up to possibilities, set and take action towards new goals.
-
Not just have dreams but really start to live them!
HOW I WORK
I now offer coaching through daily email support packages.
I have adopted this approach because of the more rapid progress I have seen in clients using this method of support in comparison to clients who received once or twice weekly coaching calls.
Email support provides a more intensive solution, personal to you and ensures you have detailed support and contact on a daily basis with me, your coach.
Daily email support offers the following benefits:
-
You get the support or reassurance you seek when you need it (rather than waiting for your next session).
-
You receive a fully comprehensive email each day from me which provides positive and motivational support to your inbox on an (almost) daily basis, over 6 days a week.
-
Emails are written only for you and form part of an ongoing conversation between us.
-
Daily contact means we can set daily intentions for your process and discuss challenges or obstacles as they arise, rather than waiting to address them.
-
If you are unsure about anything or you are feeling alone, I am available on a daily basis to help, reassure and keep you on track.
-
The support offered helps you to keep your focus on overcoming the eating disorder as a daily priority. No more procrastination when life gets busy!
-
Email support does rely on you being honest and open but it also provides that extra accountability.
-
And just because we are chatting over email rather than face to face doesn't mean I won't call you out on any eating disorder BS that tries to worm in.
Through our coaching relationship, I will ask you to dig deep and understand what you have to do and how to overcome the eating disorder. This is to enable you to find the courage to take the necessary steps towards a free future that you CAN achieve, no matter what your brain or anyone else has ever told you.
Email support packages are offered on a weekly or monthly basis and are proving to have powerful results. Try it!

What's My Approach?
To Understand
You
I work in partnership with you, so I can understand you and help you understand yourself better.
Through coaching, I will help you to identify the limiting beliefs, thoughts, fears and other obstacles that are preventing you from getting further into recovery at the moment.
Once we understand this, we can look to the changes you will take ownership of that will get results, taking you further towards your recovery and life goals in steps which will challenge but will be worthwhile.
Compassion & Honesty
To ensure that you grow and move from your comfort zone, I will always show compassion, empathy and no judgement.
I will listen and understand but I will also call you out on and reflect back to you any 'excuses' or stories that you or the eating disorder are using and which are stopping you from finding the life that you want to build....
I am here to help ensure that you get results from coaching.
I want you to feel in control of your life and to own your recovery, so you become mentally free and life becomes limiltess!
To Move You
Forwards
My work is to ensure that everything we do together is with the intention of moving you towards the freedom you crave by addressing and managing the fears that are stopping you from achieving more today.
The goal from coaching is to ensure you are able to find and take the steps that will move you forward in terms of recovery (yes, it will involve food and rest!).
The work we do is focused on the present and future, not the past.
By creating a vision of the life you want, moving forward to ensure it becomes real will become more possible.
