Eating disorder practitioner support
I’m an experienced practitioner in the field of disordered eating. I have been practising for more than ten years and now work exclusively with people with eating disorders.
I feel very strongly that people suffering with eating disorders are a vulnerable group and that only professionals who have received adequate training should be seeing such a client group.
Working in this field can get very lonely and it can feel like swimming against the nutritional current. I could have done with some eating disorder practitioner support when I started!
It’s not always easy but it is crucial that practitioners know their scope of practice and that they ask for help if they feel out of their depth. I have seen too many people coming to me because:
a) They didn’t know what to do with their clients anymore (practitioners).
b) They had been told to follow a strict diet, which re-ignited a past eating disorder (clients).
This is why I decided to support practitioners and keep everyone safe.
What i Offer
£60 per session
This is to discuss working in this field. It is for registered nutritionists who are not trained in eating disorders but who are interested in working in this area. It is for people who want to know more about the training, the pitfalls and whether they have what it takes to get into this field.
Working in the eating disorder field is challenging and completely different to what your training has been so far.
Let’s face it though, the training isn’t cheap either (rightly so) and you may want to know more before parting with your money. Do you need this new qualification? Where will it take you? Will that be too far from your comfort zone? Does it sound like it’s for you and are you ready to jump in?
What are the training options? What are the common mistakes? What do you need to be a good ED practitioner?
I will share with you what I have learnt along my way and while helping others.
£75 for one hour
£450 for six sessions (over three months)
This is for registered nutritionists who have already completed the required eating disorder training. This is ideal for those who are starting out in this field.
When I started out years ago, hardly any NTs were practicing in this field and it was a lonely place to be. I had the qualifications but frankly no idea what I was getting myself into! I didn’t have anyone to ask questions to or brainstorm with: it was just me, my messy training notes and text books.
It was terrifying.
I made many mistakes along the way and refined my skills. I have no doubt that I still have more to learn, but I have reached a stage when I have heard most things and I am not fazed by difficulties thrown at me. I still enjoy working with clients and find it wonderfully rewarding when, despite the odds, they end up getting better, resuming their sporting career, going to university, having a baby or even starting a psychology degree to help others.
The sessions will be completely tailored to your needs and our discussions can range from clinical queries (are you stuck with a client and wondering what to do?), to business knowhow, or even social media use. I have years of practice working in this field and hours of clinical experience. What you get with me isn’t just theory and academia but real life experience of working with complex clients.
You will get personalised help from someone who has walked in your shoes and who can help you see more clearly through difficult situations.
