  • Omara helped me work through my eating disorder to get to a healthier weight whilst enabling me to develop my own mental health ‘toolkit’ for the future.
  • Omara is friendly and approachable whilst always maintaining a very professional manner. It felt as though the sessions and treatment were tailored and specific to my circumstances.
  • It has been a privilege to experience therapy and to have you as a therapist has been a delight.
  • I know it will be okay because I have the tools I need and I am no longer so scared of using them. Nor am I afraid of the future.
  • I never believed I would get to this point of recovery, yet here we are. Thank you.

‘Freddie Flintoff: Living with Bulimia’

In this BBC documentary, I was featured as an expert where Freddie Flintoff opens up about his 20-year battle with bulimia.
⁠⁠
His powerful story struck a chord with many people and demonstrates that eating disorders can affect anyone regardless of gender or background. If you are having difficulties with food, exercise, or your relationship with your body, and this has an impact on your daily life, please understand you DON’T have to suffer in silence. ⁠⁠You can feel good about yourself and be free from these behaviours and thoughts. Book a call today and we can look at making a positive change.

It is never too late to seek help.

Recovery from an eating disorder is possible at any age, and after any length of illness

About Me

I am a Specialist Chartered Counselling Psychologist, who is an expert in treating eating disorders among many other mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, body image issues and low self-esteem. As a senior member of the internationally renowned South London and Maudsley teaching hospital, I have participated in developing and delivering treatment interventions both individual and group based. I have over 10 years of experience specialising in the field of eating disorders at the Maudlsey Hospital and in private practice in London. I am passionate about helping others and therapy is individually tailored for each person I work with rather than a one size fits all approach.
