How we work together

I know how exhausting it can be to feel stuck in patterns around food, movement, perfectionism, control, or constantly feeling like you need to do more or be better. Often, these struggles are not really about food or appearance alone, but about deeper feelings underneath: anxiety, pressure, overwhelm, low self-worth, difficulty feeling emotions, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

Many of the people I work with learned from a young age to adapt, perform, please others, suppress emotions, or stay in control in order to feel safe, valued, or accepted. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, overthinking, difficulty feeling your own needs and boundaries, and an unhealthy relationship with food, movement, yourself, or others.

In my work, we look beyond behaviours and symptoms alone. Together, we explore where certain patterns come from, what they are trying to protect, and what you actually need underneath them. At the same time, we work practically on creating healthier patterns, improving your relationship with food and yourself, setting boundaries, regulating emotions, and feeling more connected, balanced, and free in daily life.

This work is both deep and practical: a combination of understanding yourself on a deeper level while also creating real, lasting change. While I don’t offer therapy, the work is often therapeutic in nature.

My approach

I work with an integrative approach that combines different methods and tools, tailored to you and your process. This may include:

  • Understanding patterns in the way you think, feel, relate to yourself, and connect with others

  • Exploring different parts of yourself, such as your inner critic, protective patterns, emotions, or younger parts of you

  • Learning healthier ways to cope with emotions, stress, overwhelm, and anxiety

  • Building emotional awareness and learning how to regulate and express emotions safely

  • Challenging rigid rules, fears, avoidance patterns, or behaviours that keep you stuck

  • Creating a healthier and more flexible relationship with food, movement, rest, and your body

  • Reconnecting with your needs, boundaries, intuition, and sense of self

  • Understanding how past experiences, family dynamics, or learned beliefs may still affect you today

  • Working on self-worth, perfectionism, people pleasing, and the pressure to constantly “perform” or be better

  • Building more self-compassion, balance, trust, and safety within yourself

  • Practical exercises, reflection, psychoeducation, and tools you can apply in daily life

Methods

My work is inspired by:

  • Transactional Analysis (understanding patterns and relationship dynamics)

  • Parts work and inner child work

  • Cognitive behavioural tools

  • Emotion regulation and nervous system work

  • Exposure work around fears, food, or avoidance patterns

  • Mindfulness and body-based awareness

  • Somatic and body-oriented approaches

  • Psychoeducation and behavioural change

  • Identity and self-worth work

Rather than following a rigid protocol, I tailor the work to you as a whole person.
