Training, supervision, and resources for psychologists, dietitians, and other mental health clinicians

We provide on demand training, supervision, and resources for mental health clinicians working in the area of eating disorders, neurodivergence, complex trauma, and complex mental health difficulties.

Our framework is firmly neurodiversity affirming, non weight-focused, weight-neutral, trauma-informed, harm-reduction focused, LGBTQAI+ inclusive, intersectional, anti-oppressive, and guided by those with lived experience.

We aim to give clinicians the confidence, skills, and knowledge needed to support marginalised individuals with complex needs.
