My own experience with anorexia at a young age motivated me to study psychology and specialise in eating disorders so I can support others who are dealing with similar challenges.

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in Eating Disorders and Clinical Nutrition from UCL. I have also worked at a substance use treatment centre and have experience working with children who have special educational needs.

My role at TRC spans from supporting clients at mealtimes, to taking clients out for challenge lunches and outings, to conducting 1:1 support sessions. I always emphasise that I used to be in the same position as our clients, but I was able to overcome my eating disorder, and they can too. I believe my lived experience allows me to connect with clients and motivate them through their recovery journey.
