Nutrition support for disordered eating & body image
Find freedom from food, regain your brain space & shift your focus from weight & body shape to health & well-being
I am extremely passionate about supporting individuals to achieve a healthy relationship with food and their body. This passion has stemmed from my own experience with disordered eating, the impact it had on every aspect of my life and how immensely better EVERYTHING felt once I healed. You can read more about my experience here. My passion has continued to grow with every young person, family and adult I have supported to achieve the same over the last few years.
I have been recognised as a Credential Eating Disorder Clinician through the Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders. This credentialing system was developed to “recognise qualifications, knowledge, training, and professional development activities needed to meet minimum standards for the delivery of safe and effective eating disorders treatment.” It allows individuals to identify specialised services to support them in healing their relationship with food and their body.
I work with people of all ages, genders, cultures and sexualities. Everybody in every body is welcome.
Sessions can be individual or family-based, depending on the needs of the client. This service is suited to anyone with a diagnosis of binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, OSFED or UFED. Additionally, anyone who engages in disordered eating behaviours, has disordered thoughts about food or their body, has poor body image or body dysmorphia. Basically, if you want to feel more normal around food and neutral about your body instead of being consumed by body weight/shape/size and diet culture, this service is for you.
Unsure if this is you? The Eating Disorder Examination questionnaire can help identify if you need support. If you would like to discuss your score, contact me and I’ll be more than happy to help. You can book a free 15-minute phone consult to identify what support is right for you.
Support tailored to you.
There is no one size fits all. My dietetic treatment approach differs depending on the individual, their eating disorder presentation and severity, supports available and engagement in other treatment. The most important and initial focus of treatment is to create a connection and build your trust so we can work together. I aim to bring a lot of empathy and understanding to every session to create a safe, comfortable space to work through the challenges and achieve real food freedom and body neutrality. My personal experience with disordered eating combined with many, many hours of professional development have equipped me with the skillset to achieve this.
My support is informed by the following approaches/models:
Non-diet approach
Body neutrality
Intuitive eating principles
HAES approach
Family-based therapy
Trauma-informed dietetic care
RAVES model
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Externalising the eating disorder

What my clients have experienced
She has helped me with understanding the true meaning of being healthy and that it has very little to do with the number on the scales.
Nicole
Zoe is compassionate and provides a very safe space to discuss and work through food related issues. Since working with Zoe I have experienced significant improvements in my relationship with food that I wasn’t sure would be possible when I first sought help.
LH
Zoe has also counselled me and helped me to remove unhealthy thoughts and ideas around food. But it always just felt like a chat with a friend which I love.
Logan
Zoe helped me successfully to work on my body image last year and I can now confidently say, that I love my body no matter how much I’m exercising, eating etc.
Dana
Zoe is amazing! She has really helped me improve my relationships with food and with my body. We aren't worried about how I look but more about how I feel and my health. I am so glad we've been able to work together.
