60 minute session to discover what you need, to end the cycle of binge eating.
If you've spent years trying to fix your eating, control your weight, or feel better about your body without lasting success, this consultation will help you understand why and support you in finding what you need to break out of the cycle.
Together we'll explore the patterns beneath your food struggles, identify what is keeping them in place, and map out what actually needs attention.
You'll leave this session with clarity, direction, and a personalised roadmap forward.
You know this cycle better than anyone. You're good all day, you hold the rules together, and then somewhere in the evening it all goes. The next morning you start again with a new plan and the same shame.
You've tried the diets and the resets, maybe CBT or intuitive eating or a programme someone swore by, and some of it helped for a while. None of it lasted, and that isn't because you didn't try hard enough. Every one of those approaches worked on the food or the thoughts, and your binge eating lives in your nervous system.
In this session we map your binge–restrict cycle together and find the survival response underneath it. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what's driving your pattern, a felt sense of what it's like to work with your body, and honest next steps.
Your days are quietly organised around food. What you ate, what you'll eat later, how to make up for yesterday. The food noise rarely switches off, and it's exhausting to carry around all day.
You're good all day and then it goes at night. The rules hold until the evening, then the binge comes, often alone and often fast, and afterwards it's hard to say how it happened.
You restrict and control far more than you binge, and you might never call yourself a binge eater. The cycle still runs your life.
You already know it isn't about the food. You're smart and capable everywhere else, you've read the books, maybe you've done years of therapy, and understanding why hasn't made it stop.
You don't think you're “bad enough” to deserve help. You're still functioning, nobody knows, and other people have it worse. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. If this is costing you your peace, that's enough.
I'm a somatic practitioner who has supported hundreds of women and non-binary people in their struggles with the binge–restrict cycle. Before I am a therapist, I am a human who has been through the same struggle as you.
I know this work from the inside first. I was in Weight Watchers by the time I was 12, already trying to shrink a body that was never the problem. At 15, my dad died, and almost overnight I became the strong one, the responsible one, and food became the only way I knew how to hold what the grief left behind. The more I ate, the more ashamed I felt. The more ashamed I felt, the harder I tried to control it.
I tried almost everything before I found my way out. Diets, talk therapy, meditation, more diets. It wasn't until I found somatic work and started to understand my own nervous system that I realised what I was experiencing made sense. I wasn't broken. I was surviving.
My ongoing exploration, combined with my professional training, including The Focalizing Institute, is what allows me to support my clients so deeply. I'm not here to be the expert above you. I'm here to be the witness you may never have had.
We look at what happens in your nervous system before the restriction, before the binge, and in the quiet afterwards. We find the survival response underneath it. And you leave with a clear sense of where to begin, written down so it doesn't slip away.
This isn't a food plan and it isn't a diagnosis. It's one private hour built around your pattern, your history and your life.
We meet over Zoom, and most sessions follow this flow.
We start with what your relationship with food looks like right now and what it's costing you. The evenings, the secrecy, the mornings after. For many people this is the first time they've said it out loud to someone who doesn't flinch.
Together we trace your pattern: the restriction, the build-up, the food noise, the binge, and the shame that sets the whole loop going again.
We look beneath the eating at what your nervous system has been responding to. Overwhelm, loneliness, grief, a body you've been at war with for years. Whatever it is, it makes sense, and we turn towards it with curiosity.
I'll guide you through a short somatic practice so you can feel what it's like to meet your body differently. Then we talk honestly about what's likely to help from here. If I don't think I'm the right person to support you, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
You already understand more about your binge eating than anyone has given you credit for. What's usually missing is someone helping you see the whole pattern and knowing where to start.
A clear picture of your binge–restrict cycle: what feeds the restriction, what sets off the binge, and the survival response underneath both.
A somatic practice you've done with me in the session, so you know what working with your nervous system feels like in your own body.
A straight answer on what's likely to help, what may be quietly keeping the cycle in place, and the first steps to focus on.
After the session I'll send you a written summary of your pattern and my suggested next steps, so nothing gets lost.
“This is the first time I've felt like someone really got it, and knew what to do with it.”
“Food is no longer a source of abuse or negativity. I get to enjoy that food or eat food safely. That's huge. I am not in self hatred with my body as much. The body acceptance. The way my body dysmorphia is quieter.”
“Alex's methodology is gentle, SLOW, safe and was the first place that I learned and felt that I was worthy of all the best things in life.”

No preparation needed. Bring a quiet space where you can speak freely, and whatever you're carrying. You don't need to have the words for it yet.
My work is for people struggling with their relationship with food and their body, including binge eating, restriction, emotional eating and body shame. It's therapeutic and educational. It isn't a diagnosis, clinical eating disorder treatment, or a replacement for medical, psychiatric or crisis support. If you need urgent help, please contact your GP or emergency services. In the UK you can also reach Beat, the eating disorder charity, at beateatingdisorders.org.uk. Outside the UK, please contact your local eating disorder service.
Everything you share is held with care and in confidence.
Shame heals when it's witnessed. This is one hour to be witnessed without judgement, by someone who has lived this pattern from the inside and now works with it every day. You don't have to be in crisis to deserve it, and you'll leave with a clearer sense of where to begin.
