If you're struggling with an eating disorder, you're not alone — and you don't have to face it in silence. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can gently explore your relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Whether you're battling binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, or disordered eating patterns that don't quite fit a label, counselling can support you.
How Counselling Can Help
A Gentle Approach
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all service. I work at your pace, whether you're ready to speak openly or just need someone to sit alongside you. Stabilisation and emotional safety are always prioritised.
Support For All
Sessions are available online across the UK or face-to-face in Mid Devon. I’m here when you’re ready to take that first step.
Additional Resources
he local NHS clinic for eating disorder support is The Haldon | DPT. There is also Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity. I often recommend Beat for trustworthy information and support.
Please be cautious about following social media content — especially on platforms like TikTok or Facebook — around eating disorders. These spaces can unintentionally share harmful content or diet tips that hinder recovery. Instead, I encourage seeking professional support through counselling or reputable organisations like Beat.
Testimonials
"I read a Facebook post that Stella put up about living with eating disorders and it felt as if she was talking to me. Everything it said was me. I was too frightened to admit I was starving myself. I asked her for an appointment.
I was met with warmth and kindness. I did not think I would cry, but I did – it felt as if she was looking into my soul. I opened up about everything and not once did Stella make me feel guilty. Stella explained that I was on a journey and it may take a long time. There may be bumps along the way, but this was normal. I did not feel so alone.
Stella gently asked me questions at our first appointment. She told me that she was worried about me, as she believed I was anorexic, and would like to contact my doctor. I was afraid, as I had not seen my doctor for a few years and nobody else noticed I was thin. Stella did.
She arranged an appointment for me with my doctor the following day and said she would write to them – which she did. I was referred to the clinic for more help. I have now told my family, partner, and college. That is also a relief.
I felt relief. I did not feel judged or ashamed. I am addressing past trauma. I am so grateful for Stella’s help and especially her desire for me to get the best possible help from everyone."
