Hi, I’m Julie.

Does it ever feel like everyone sees a version of you that’s smiling, capable, and holding it all together… while inside, you’re exhausted from the pressure to be “enough”?

I know that feeling well, not just as a therapist, but as someone who’s lived it.

For years, I struggled with binge eating, body shame, people-pleasing, and a deep, painful self-loathing I didn’t know how to escape. I tried to fix myself through willpower, diets, and being “good.” I tried to keep everyone happy while silently falling apart. I didn’t know then that what I really needed was support, and that I wasn’t broken, just hurting.

Training as a therapist changed the course of my life. I finally understood why I felt the way I did, and I began the slow, courageous work of coming home to myself. That’s what I want for you too.

Today, I work with people who feel like they’re never enough….people stuck in cycles of self-criticism, emotional eating, people-pleasing, and burnout, to begin reclaiming their self-worth and softening the war inside. And yes, that includes men. Binge eating and self-abandonment don’t discriminate, but stigma can make it even harder for men to ask for help. You are welcome here.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life experience. I create a shame-free space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or be “fixed.” You get to be fully seen and gently supported into healing.

I’m a registered BACP therapist with specialist training and experience in disordered eating, body image, and self-worth issues. I’ve worked with a private eating disorder service and continue to grow my knowledge through ongoing training and client work. But most importantly, I bring deep compassion and lived understanding to the room.

You don’t have to do this alone. If any part of this feels familiar, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.
