”Working with Sarah, I felt safe, listened too, understood & I did not feel judged. I was able to be open when speaking about my lived experiences. Being given the opportunity to consider myself as “neutral” rather than always striving for perfection or in the depths of self sabotage has been transformative.””
— Jessica - Surrey

OVERVIEW

Eating disorders and disordered eating can feel exhausting, isolating and all-consuming. If your relationship with food or your body is affecting your health, wellbeing or holding you back from living fully, you deserve support and don’t have to figure things out alone.

I work with individuals to explore and address a range of restrictive, emotional or chaotic eating patterns, including:

  • binge eating disorder

  • orthorexia (excessive preoccupation with eating healthy food).

  • anorexia nervosa

  • bulimia nervosa

  • Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Whether you have a formal diagnosis or simply know that something isn’t right, this is a space to explore, understand and support healing, one step at a time.

If you are also managing other mental or physical health concerns, we’ll take these into account with due care and sensitivity, supporting your health and wellbeing as a whole.

HOW IT WORKS

Nutritional counselling offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space to support you in restoring nutritional balance and rebuilding trust around food - safely and sustainably.

I am trained to carry out nutritional assessments and to work in depth with both the physiological complexities and the day-to-day behavioural challenges that accompany disordered eating and eating disorder recovery.

My approach is person-centred, integrative and rooted in respect for your lived experience. Combining Nutritional Therapy with principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Intuitive Eating and mindfulness, our work together goes beyond what you eat - we will explore how you think, feel and relate to food and your body, and put in place practical strategies to reduce distress and support change.

You won’t be handed a rigid food plan to follow. Instead, we will work together to co-create a realistic and sustainable pattern of eating with enough structure to support stability, nourishment and safety, and any guidance I provide will always be tailored to your needs.

We will work collaboratively to:

  • Restore nutritional balance and physical nourishment

  • Shift unhelpful beliefs and behaviours

  • Rebuild a more flexible, trusting relationship with food and your body in the long-term

As appropriate, I will also liaise with other health professionals involved in your care, such as your GP or mental health practitioner.

What sessions may include

Each weekly one-to-one session is shaped around your needs at the time and may include:

  • Identifying and addressing nutritional imbalances

  • Guidance on planning and structuring meals

  • Education about food groups and nutrients

  • Unpicking food fears and challenging food rules

  • Debunking nutrition myths and diet culture messages

  • Personalised food and meal suggestions

  • Psychoeducation around food, body image, and eating behaviours

  • Exploring appetite, fullness and different types of hunger

  • Mindful eating practices

  • Approaches to managing binge eating

  • Reflecting on insights, practices or reading between sessions

You will receive a follow-up summary after each session and have access to unlimited weekday messaging support for continuity any reassurance.

Ongoing support

This is a personalised, open-ended service offered on a rolling monthly basis so you can receive consistent support for as long as you need it.

Healing isn’t linear and there is no fixed timeframe or expectation for how long things should take. My aim is to provide a steady, responsive space to help you move at your own pace towards nourishment, resilience and peace with food and your body.

FAQ’s

  • If you have any degree of distress with your relationship with food or your body image, you deserve support - and I can help.

    Many people do not get support through fear that they are not ‘sick enough’, when in fact no concern is too small for early intervention.

    In cases where a person’s health is at acute risk or body weight is below a certain threshold that I can safely support within my practice, a registered dietitian within a medical team would be required to take the lead on intensive refeeding and inpatient protocols to support medical stabilisation and nutritional rehabilitation. Once you are home and stable, I can step in to help you build lasting changes and confidence with food as part of your ongoing recovery.

    In summary, whether you are stepping down from inpatient care, seeking early intervention or navigating recovery privately, nutritional counselling is available and can be a transformational part of your healing.

    If you have any doubts or questions, or would benefit from a Zoom video call first, please do contact me for a no-obligation friendly chatand we talk things through.

  • Absolutely. My approach is flexible and both tailored and paced to individual needs, making it well-suited for those who experience sensory sensitivities, executive function challenges or a different way of processing information around food and eating.
