Hello, I'm Jayne
As an overweight child and teenager, I entered early adulthood with low self esteem and poor body image. A period of significant weight loss, followed by a few lovely compliments and there began the relentless cycle of restricting, binging and purging which was to consume my life for well over a decade.
The journey of recovery was painful. Eating disorders are complex. There simply was not the help, support, knowledge and education available in the 80’ and 90s.
Alongside personal therapy, I’ve been educating myself for 30+ years in psychology and eating disorders – it has always fascinated me. I made the decision to train as an Eating Disorder Therapist, Psychotherapist, Coach and Counsellor when I left corporate land in 2020. I’ve dedicated the last few years to studying, learning and continued healing. My hope is that I can work with you, helping you to heal and live a happier, easier, more authentic life.
My approach is holistic, compassionate and tailored to your unique needs. There is no one size fits all when it comes to healing. My purpose is to guide you on your own healing journey by empowering you with your own set of tools. You have everything you need to heal within you. You just need to know how to access it.
“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
― T. S. Eliot
