One-to-One Support & group coaching
for Parents & Carers
“I feel hopefully for the first time in such a long time. I wish I had had these tools much sooner in this journey. Its such a relief to be opposite someone who just gets it and isn’t judging me. I feel less frightening about having the difficult conversations now. Thank you ”
One-to-One Support for Parents & Carers:
Skills-Based Caring in Action
My one-to-one sessions offer a practical, hands-on extension of the Skills-Based Caring for a Loved One program, providing personalised guidance and real-time skill practice for parents and carers supporting a loved one with an eating disorder (ED).
Together, we work through real-life scenarios where you may feel stuck, unsure, or struggling to motivate change. Whether it's navigating challenging behaviours, responding to distress, or strengthening communication, these sessions help you apply the New Maudsley techniques in ways that truly make a difference.
Using compassionate communication strategies, motivational tools,
and evidence-based techniques, we focus on:
✔ Practicing effective responses to difficult ED behaviours
✔ Reducing family distress and increasing emotional connection
✔ Building confidence in supporting your loved one through the phases of change
✔ Strengthening your role as a supportive caregiver while maintaining your own well-being
These warm, supportive, and tailored sessions go beyond theory. They provide practical coaching to help you feel more empowered, more prepared, and more hopeful about your loved one's path to recovery.
You don’t have to do this alone.
I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.
The Carer Circle
where practice makes progress
Group coaching for parents and carers: Helping you apply the New Maudsley communication approaches in ways that make a meaningful difference in everyday family life.
Many parents tell me they leave the New Maudsley workshops understanding the tools, but then find it much harder to access them when they're sitting at the dinner table, navigating reassurance seeking, supporting meal distress or trying to respond calmly in the middle of a difficult conversation.
The Carer Circle was created to bridge that gap.
This is a supportive, small-group coaching space where we take real-life situations, practise the communication approaches together, explore what's happening underneath the behaviour, and build confidence through guided reflection, role-play and emotional regulation.
Each session includes a shared scenario based on the challenges carers are currently facing, breakout practice using tools such as ALVS, OARS and D.E.A.R.S, discussion of the patterns that may be driving the behaviour, and group EFT to help carers regulate their own nervous systems too.
The goal isn't to learn more information. It's to help the skills become more accessible in the moments that matter most, so you can respond with greater confidence, compassion and connection when real life happens.
The Carer’s Circle is designed to help you keep practising, building confidence and applying the New Maudsley skills to real life - because knowing the tools and knowing what to say, and having the confidence to say it in the moment, can be two very different things.
Practise alongside other parents and carers on real-life scenarios, and get practical guidance to help you respond with greater confidence, clarity and consistency.
Choose the support that works for you: join the Carer’s Circle for ongoing sessions and support, or book a one-off session whenever you need a skills refresh or some extra practice.
Because practice makes progress.

Supporting a Loved One with an Eating Disorder: Practical Scripts for Caregivers.
This practical guide is designed for parents and carers who want to support recovery without escalating conflict or feeling like they’re getting it wrong.
Using the DEARS tool from the New Maudsley approach, this resource offers clear, compassionate, real-life conversations to help you respond to some of the most challenging eating disorder behaviours.
Inside, you’ll find practical examples of how to use DEARS for:
Over-exercising
Meal plan resistance and food refusal
Self-harm (SH)
Binge-purge behaviours
Body image distress and dysmorphia
Grounded in evidence-based carer skills, this guide helps you balance empathy, encouragement, and respect for autonomy, so you can support your loved one’s recovery while staying connected and regulated yourself.
The aim of these resources is to empower carers with practical examples and shortcut uses of the tools and foster an atmosphere of collaboration and understanding within their families. By incorporating these methods, carers can support their loved one’s recovery journey in a way that balances compassion, encouragement, and respect for their autonomy.
