Tutor 

Julia Buckroyd is Emeritus Professor of Counselling at the University of Hertfordshire and a therapist in private practice. She specialises in working with people with all sorts of problems with food, weight, shape and size. She is particularly interested in the meaning and function of the manipulation of food and looks for triggers to episodes of food misuse. She believes that clients are unlikely to abandon their eating habits unless they learn alternative means of life management and so focuses on helping clients develop better means of emotional regulation. She has written widely on the topic, and her most recent book is Understanding your Eating (McGraw Hill, 2011).

The workshop offers an introduction to:

Working with clients with disordered eating or eating disorders. It aims to offer a conceptual framework for understanding the misuse of food using attachment theory, and then to offer a wide range of strategies for working with clients in this area. Important points for consideration will include emotional language, attachment history, self-esteem, body esteem and identity, relationships and self-soothing.

The workshop is active and interactive; participants should be willing to reflect on their own eating behaviour and attachment history as well as that of their clients.
