Family/Carer/Supporter Consultation
In ongoing family and carer consultations, I focus on skill development and coping strategies to empower families as they support a loved one through their recovery from an eating disorder. Using evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and the Transtheoretical Model of Behaviour Change, we explore ways to effectively support your loved one while also taking care of your own well-being.
These sessions are designed to build your confidence and competence in navigating the complexities of recovery. We work together to develop communication skills, set realistic goals, and understand the stages of change your loved one may be experiencing. By focusing on these key areas, I help you create a supportive environment that encourages positive change and promotes recovery.
My role is to guide you through evidence-informed strategies, providing you with the tools to manage difficult emotions and situations, and to strengthen your ability to support your loved one without compromising your own mental and emotional health. These sessions are tailored to your family’s specific needs, offering both practical interventions and a compassionate space for reflection and growth.
I love working in an ongoing way with my families - the most reward for all is here
