Experience
I have 6 years' experience working in mental health across NHS and third-sector settings.
During this time I've delivered person-centred therapy to individuals struggling with their relationship with food and body image post-bariatric surgery and delivered CBT-E based support to individuals struggling with bulimia and binge eating disorder. I facilitated support groups to people struggling with all types of eating disorders (including ARFID) and provided advice and guidance to loved ones using the New Maudsley approach. I also designed and reviewed eating disorder support programmes for Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity.
I am ASIST trained and have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing thoughts of suicide, including safety planning, harm reduction and crisis intervention. I have also reviewed and delivered training in suicide prevention skills.
I have clinical experience working therapeutically with women from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds who are experiencing domestic abuse and sexual violence, involving risk assessing, safeguarding and referrals.
