Eating Disorders

Training & Support

I pride myself in enabling people to better understand and provide practical support to people with eating disorders. I regularly do this via face to face workshops and training sessions as well as through my books, blog posts, videos and writing.

If you'd like to commission me to write or speak about eating disorders, please email me - I love a new challenge.
