Confused about what to eat?
For far too long, we’ve been inundated by negative messages about food, weight and diet. We’ve been told that we’re willpower weaklings or that we need more control. The majority of nutrition experts promote conflicting advice. The result is people are confused about what to eat, and how to have a happy relationship with food and a healthy metabolism.

In my professional practice, I combine many of the best strategies from nutrition science and eating psychology. By eliminating all the ‘shoulds and shouldn’ts’, I focus on what’s right for your body and your personal style. As we work together in this way, eating and health issues become a place of exploration.

Instead of seeing such challenges as the enemy, they become opportunities for growth and self-improvement. I’ve learned to help clients reach their highest goals not by strategies that punish, but through strategies that nourish.


What is Eating Psychology Coaching?
It is an exciting and cutting edge approach developed by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating where I qualified as an Eating Psychology Coach in 2015.

It effectively addresses weight concerns, binge eating, overeating, body image challenges, and various nutrition related health concerns. As an Eating Psychology Coach my approach is positive and empowering. I don’t see your eating challenges merely as a sign that something is 'wrong' with you – but as a place where we can more fully explore some of the personal dimensions in life that impact food, weight and health. Oftentimes, our eating challenges are connected to work, money, relationship, family, intimacy, life stress and so much more.

By working on the places that are most relevant for you, success is more easily achieved. I look to support you with coaching strategies and nutrition principles that are nourishing, doable, sustainable, and that yield results.


I offer one to one coaching which will empower you to form a more nourishing and loving relationship with your body. 

Is this approach for me? If any of the following apply to you, then I might just be what you're looking for:

Have you...
  • been yo-yo dieting for years, and are you fed up with the restrictions, implications and emotional ties it can have on your daily actions?
  • been trying to lose weight for a long time with limited success?
  • disliked the way your body looks and avoided looking at yourself in the mirror?
  • believed you have a willpower issue, or don't understand your late night binges?
  • gained weight recently, and you're not sure why?

Or do you believe...
  • You'll be counting calories/points/syns/fat grams for the rest of your life? 
  • That if you let go of dieting, you'll spiral out of control and won't stop eating? 
  • You'll be happy once you've lost those last few pounds? 

Are you ready to...
  • live your life to the full without diet, exercise and negative body image controlling your every move?
  • stop beating yourself up and learn to accept and love your body as it is?
  • truly listen to your own body and trust that what it's saying is ok? 

With personal experience of body image and weight issues my approach is empathetic, non-judgemental and sustainable. 

I offer one-one coaching by Skype and in person (including walk and talks). Please use the contact form to find out more, and to have an initial discussion. 

"When I began working with Helen, I was in a real slump: sick of regaining all the weight I lost, and wanting desperately to understand why I kept sliding back from every attempt to "get healthy". Helen's coaching has been a lifeline for me. At every step of the way, she has provided support, affirmation and encouragement to acknowledge and celebrate the progress I have been making. Her respectful questioning and challenging have helped me explore, understand and come to terms with what's going on inside my head, and how that is playing itself out in my attitudes to food and health. She has helped me uncover the ways in which my relationship with food is intertwined with everything else that is going on in my life, and to work towards real change" BR

"With Helen's help, I am overcoming the issues I've had throughout my life with food and yoyo dieting. Through her guidance, I am becoming more confident in my body and overall in myself" LC
