About Julie
I completed my BA (hons) degree in Social Work at Oxford. Working with children and families and in the mental health sector. Eating disorders has been my specialist area of practice, where i have over 16 years experience of working in inpatient, outpatient and community settings.
I completed my training in Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) with the Centre of Research on Eating Disorders (CREDO) at Oxford University. As a CBT-E Therapist and CBT-E
Supervisor.
I completed my advanced diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) with the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT) in Leicester.
I have trained in the Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA). This is a structured individual psychotherapy with integrated carers support for adults with anorexia nervosa,
I have also trained in Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) for severe and enduring anorexia. This offers a sustained focus on improving eating disorder symptoms, and supportive therapy techniques to guide clients towards treatment goals. SSCM is a very practical and supportive approach.
I provide expert treatment to clients with varied eating disorder diagnosis. I feel it is important to provide a holistic approach that can be tailored to meet my clients needs, this may include broader treatment approaches to suit each individual.
Specialist Carers Consultation- Having worked with hundreds of carers over the years, delivering skills based workshops, 1:1 coaching and providing expert carer support groups. I have a wealth of knowledge, training, skills and experience to guide and support you through your journey.
Carers coaching can be used collaboratively with the individual during the course of therapy. It can also provide education and skills to the carer/ parent/ partner if their loved one is not yet ready to accept treatment.
My passion for working in the field of Wellness and Wellbeing continues to expand and grow with further qualifications, training and registrations in holistic treatments, methods and approaches. This continues to advance techniques for therapy and teaching throughout my practice.
