I am the founder of FoodWise Psychology and a British Psychological Society-registered Chartered Psychologist (BPS registration number 342712).

 

I am not a therapist or a practitioner psychologist, but I’m an experienced educator and intervention developer who has spent years turning psychological research into practical support. My credentials include a degree in Psychology, an MSc in Health Psychology, and a PhD in health psychology. I have clinical experience delivering non-governed therapy within in-patient mental health settings. My doctoral work was focused on intervention development for weight cycling. I am also a "wounded healer", apart from professional expertise, I bring a wealth of lived experience to this service.  This means that I have not just studied the problem at hand, I have lived it myself.  

 

In 2023 I decided to set up  the service that I have always needed for myself. After  a couple of years of careful planning and research, FoodWise Psychology was born. I believe that effective helping relationships are built on trust, empathy, and evidence-based practices. True support starts with the person, not the problem, identity and dignity come before issues, circumstances, and challenges.
