Meet Helen
Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician; Registered Counsellor and Accredited Practicing Dietitian in Melbourne


My Approach
I'm a dietitian and counsellor with a lived experience of an eating disorder, and I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to the work I do. My journey through recovery deeply informs how I support others—because I’ve been there, too. I know how exhausting, confusing, and isolating it can be to navigate your relationship with food and your body.
​
In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in respect. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all plans. Instead, I offer a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that supports you in building trust with your body, unpacking unhelpful patterns, and exploring what nourishment and healing truly mean for you.
​
You don’t need to be “sick enough” or have it all figured out to begin. Whether you're struggling with restriction, bingeing, guilt, or body image concerns, you are welcome exactly as you are. Recovery is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
I work with families to help them understand the complexities of eating disorders, providing both nutritional education and emotional support, which can be crucial in the recovery process.
By addressing both the dietary and psychological components, I can help clients develop strategies for maintaining recovery and preventing relapse.
