Eating Disorder Counsellor
Hi, I’m Edwina an experienced and qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. My background is in civil services where I served the community and assisted in changing peoples lives. I retrained several years ago and now work as a person-centred counsellor, which means that I believe people, when given the right circumstances (within the therapy room) can overcome adversity and make changes. Exploring feelings and emotions can be tricky for some, I work in a way that best suits my client’s needs whether that is through sitting and talking or doing something creative whilst counselling takes place. I have been working with children, young people and adults for several years, tailoring counselling so that it is bespoke to meet their needs. A specialism of mine is working with Eating Disorders and Obesity as both can make people feel miserable.
I also work as a trainer and private Counsellor. Educating businesses, charities and individuals on how they can best support good mental health, this is a passion of mine and something I really enjoy.
I work in schools and community-based environments to deliver counselling to those people who feel they need it most and have experience helping with a wide range of mental health and life issues.
Experience in this field has taught me that counselling can help people through uncertain or worrying times in their lives. I believe that there should be more low-cost counselling to support the ever-changing needs of the community which is why I am delighted to be a counsellor for Don’t Lose Hope.
