Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move toward 2026, I want to share a little of what’s coming next.

Self-harm + eating disorders (not talked about enough)

More presentations where:

• Eating triggers punishment

• Self-harm replaces restriction

• Risk is present even when weight/bloods look “okay”

Neurodivergence ≠ lack of motivation

Especially relevant for:

• ASD + ARFID

• ADHD + appetite suppression

• Black-and-white food rules from social media

• 
  

Social media → food rules pipeline

Not dieting — but:

• “What I eat in a day”

• Protein obsession

• Gut health extremes

• “Low inflammation” fear-based eating

 My work continues to centre on steady, thoughtful care — support that doesn’t rush change, oversimplify complexity, or disappear when things feel stuck. In the year ahead, my focus remains on working alongside individuals and families navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, neurodivergent food challenges, and the many layered ways food, mental health, and identity intersect.

I’ll continue to offer care that is relational, collaborative, and grounded in safety — particularly for those who may look “okay” on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside.

I will be accepting new referrals in 2026 and look forward to continuing to work closely with families, GPs, and allied health professionals to support continuity of care.
