• Our approach

  Hannah's approach is person-centred, flexible, and holistic, focusing on both healing the root cause and managing symptoms rather than just changing behaviours. She uses an "inside-out recovery" philosophy that addresses what's driving the eating disorder, such as fear, self-criticism, and feelings of not being good enough, alongside practical support with food and routines. For clients who have tried treatment but still feel stuck, she draws on deeper approaches like Schema Therapy and EMDR to work with protective patterns and body-based responses. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, and Hannah works alongside you with compassion and lived experience to help you reconnect with yourself and rebuild self-worth. As someone who has fully recovered from an eating disorder herself, she understands the journey and believes that with the right support, lasting recovery is possible.

• Working with families

  Hannah offers dedicated parent support and Family Based Therapy (FBT) to involve families in the recovery process. Parent coaching provides practical tools and guidance to help you feel more confident at mealtimes, set loving boundaries, and respond to challenges in ways that support your child's healing while preserving your connection. In FBT, parents and caregivers take an active role by providing loving structure and firm but compassionate boundaries around eating, with the focus on restoring physical health and reducing eating disorder behaviours. Hannah works to strengthen your role as the most important support in your child's recovery journey.

• Your first visit

  In your first session, Hannah will start by going over confidentiality and privacy information, then conduct a full assessment including your current concerns, history, and what you'd like to get from therapy. She will discuss recommendations for your individualised treatment plan and next steps, and give you the opportunity to ask any questions. For eating disorder assessments specifically, the first session can take up to 2 hours to ensure a thorough understanding of your situation. This initial meeting sets the foundation for your personalised treatment approach.
