The initial assessment takes place over 1-3 sessions and includes a psychological formulation (an understanding of what may have led to your eating difficulties and what might be keeping them going) and treatment recommendations. A summary report can be sent to you or your referrer if you choose.

Send an email or use the contact box below with a brief message of what you want to work on in therapy.
I will message back to organise a free 10-15 minute phone consultation. During this consultation we can discuss your concerns and make sure I am the right person to help.
If you decide to go ahead we can book in an initial assessment.
How many sessions will I need?
This can vary depending on a number of factors including how long you have been struggling for, the severity of your struggles and how ready you are to make changes.
As a general guide, the National Institue for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends:
-
16-20 sessions CBT-E for binge eating
-
Up to 20 sessions for bulimia
-
Up to 40 sessions for anorexia
However, if you have milder eating or body image difficulties you may require fewer sessions.
If you are limited to a certain number of sessions due to private health insurance or financial constraints let your clinician know and they will work within this.
