I aim to create a space where people can show up as they are, without needing to perform “readiness,” compliance, or recovery in a way that feels inauthentic or unsafe.  

I recognise that eating disorders are often not the problem, but a reflection of deeper underlying distress. Eating disorders often occur to people who are suffering, serving an important emotional, social or relational function to help them cope. While they can cause significant harm, they do not arise out of nowhere, and I do not believe people should be reduced to symptoms, behaviours, or compliance markers. 

I am open to non-traditional and harm minimisation approaches where appropriate, particularly when rigid or coercive treatment models have caused harm or failed to acknowledge a person’s needs and lived experience. I believe recovery is rarely linear, and that there is space for uncertainty, ambivalence, and nuance. 

I prioritise building connection and trust before taking any steps forward. I recognise that people exist within complex realities — including neurodivergence, trauma, chronic illness, financial stress, cultural expectations, oppression, and systemic harm – and that these realities shape both your experience of the eating disorder and my approach to practice. I value creating a relationship grounded in openness and authenticity, where both of our lived experiences can inform the work we do together.
