Specialist Services
As well as helping with the personal issues included in
the previous section, I provide counselling in three specialist areas.
Eating Disorders
These include anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating
disorders, specific food cravings, obesity and failed
dieting. Treatment for these disorders utilises skills from
cognitive-behavioural therapy, motivational and nutritional
therapies which I apply to the complex issues underlying
the eating problems of the individual client.
Couples Counselling
In this area I work with couples who are seeking help in
their relationships. My aim is to enable couples to
understand both their own needs and those of their
partners in the context of their relationship.
Workplace Counselling
Here I work with the various issues that employees
experience in the workplace. This involves first, helping
with the specific problems that affect employees,
including problems arising within the individual, problems
caused by the work organisation
and problems arising outside the individual or the
organisation. Second, it involves helping employers to understand the
problems of their employees.
