Gillian Mather

Hello, My name is Gillian and I am an experienced therapist working with all types of eating disorders and the neurodivergent client.

I first trained as a Integrative counsellor in 2010 and went on to work in different educational settings, highlighting to me the need for specialist training in working with eating disorders. I trained with NCFED in 2016  achieving my Master Practitioner Diploma and now predominantly work with eating disorders in my practice. I have also undergone training with NEDDE and assisted in several of their workshops and training sessions.

In my practice I work with young people, adults and also parents who have a loved one with an eating disorder. I have a demonstrated history of helping people with restrictive and purging eating distress return to full recovery. I have a particular interests in working with clients using EFT integrated with Positive psychology, Motivational Language, Psycho-education, Nutritional rehabilitation and Psychotherapy. My aim is always to work with clients to essentially improve the quality of their lives, whatever their presenting problem. I believe in a collaborative approach to recovery so encourage working alongside other professionals to support the client whilst keeping them safe at all times.

Having a lived experience of an eating disorder and my extensive training in this field has really helped shape the type of therapy I offer clients today, alongside the warmth, compassion and empathy that is required for growth and recovery.
