Counselling & Fees
At Leaf Therapies, I offer integrative counselling tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're navigating life's challenges or looking to better understand your relationship with food and your body, my approach is centred around you.
General Counselling
Support for anxiety, stress, grief, relationships, self-esteem and other life challenges, helping you explore your experiences and find a way forward.
Emotional Eating & Binge Eating
Exploring the emotions, experiences and patterns behind your relationship with food, moving towards greater understanding and lasting change without diets or judgement.
Body Image
Support to explore how you feel about your body, challenge unhelpful beliefs and self-criticism, and develop a more accepting relationship with yourself.
Understanding Your Eating
Understanding Your Eating is a 6 session course which helps you to understand how you might be using food to manage feelings or situations in your life. As a licensed practitioner, I will work with you to explore how you use food in your life and how you can find alternative ways to cope without using food. This is not a diet or weight loss plan. I will not be weighing you or telling what to eat or how much. Instead we will work together to identify triggers, and find alternative ways for you to cope and to help re-establish a healthy relationship with food.
The Understanding your Eating Programme has been developed from research carried out by Julia Buckroyd, Emeritus Professor of Counselling of the University of Hertfordshire and Honorary Fellow of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. The Programme is designed for people who are aware that their overeating is driven by emotions rather than by hunger. Each session is 60 minutes.
Session 1 - Initial nutritional & emotional eating consultation
Session 2 – Eating is not just about hunger.
Session 3 – Eating to manage feelings
Session 4 – Self esteem and how it helps you look after yourself better
Session 5 – Improving body esteem
Session 6 – Using people instead of food to get you through your day
The course can be done on a one to one basis or in a group (dates to be announced). There will be an initial assessment to discuss whether this programme is right for you and whether you would prefer to be in a group or work on an individual basis. This is very much client-led and you can decide the frequency of sessions over a 12 week period, which we can discuss on our initial call.
