Body image and eating disorder prevention expert.
Award-winning research psychologist, speaker, author & trainer.
Qualifications & Background

Published 100+ scientific studies on body image, disordered eating & mental health
Author of bestselling “The Body Confidence Book” for teens
I’ve worked with young people, helping professionals, researchers, policy-makers and brands across academic, community and online settings for 20 years to create and deliver evidence-based programmes that boost body confidence, prevent eating disorders and improve mental health.
These tools and campaigns have been tested in dozens of scientific studies and have now reached over 120 million people in 148 countries.

I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact this programme has on young people’s mental health.
