About Harriet Frew:
I'm Harriet Frew - an experienced counsellor who specialises in supporting you in eating disorder therapy, to find peace with food and body image. I am host of the eating disorder podcast - The Eating Disorder Therapist and trainer in eating disorders and body image. I offer individual therapy, online courses, training and Breakthrough Days.

My approach is anti-diet and promotes a healthy relationship with food and your body. I work with the psychology of disordered eating, helping you understand your story and then supporting you in learning the skills, habits and behaviours to find peace with food and then live your life.

I'm an integrative counsellor drawing on Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy.
