I must've had rocket fuel in my coffee this morning cos I really went for it in this training! Weight loss injections are potentially dangerous for people with disordered eating and those impacted by body image issues and weight stigma. Proud to deliver this training with NEDDE today.

I'm delighted to be part of this important new book by Mamood Ahmad @tadffocus.bsky.social 🎉
I rarely saw disordered eating included in counselling books when I was training, even though eating/body image problems are so prevalent, so I'm very happy to have contributed this 🙏

I had a blast hosting Talking Tales last night! Thank goodness for my fabulous diva fan - it was sweltering 🥵
We had 16 brilliant readers - a real eclectic mix of short stories, poetry and spoken word. Fantastic! 🎉

I've seen too many racist, fatphobic, classist comments on pics of this statue: She's "obese", on benefits, has diabetes (and there's much worse).
It's sad to see an "ordinary" body be torn down in such a cruel way. It certainly highlights the power & dominance the thin, white ideal still holds.

A brilliant evening of storytelling at Talking Tales 📖🎤✍️
Almost ten years ago, me and my writing group (Stokes Croft Writers) started a storytelling night in Bristol. I'm so glad we made it this long. I'm so proud to be part of such an amazing thing ❤️🙌🙏

Had a glorious very cold swim this weekend - the water was about 7 degrees I think! 🥶

I've recently passed the milestone of 500 client hours so I did a little arty thing! I've learnt so much in my private practice. I'm grateful to the people to helped me on my way & especially to my clients who put their trust in me. Thank you 🙏
