Children & Adolescents

Helen focus on helping children with autism and food anxiety overcome extreme picky eating and problem feeding, fostering a positive attitude towards new foods for enjoyable family mealtimes. Our support extends to addressing gastrointestinal issues and food allergies, including coeliac disease, nausea, bloating, constipation, and reflux, while also managing disordered eating patterns and eating disorders.

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Helen can provide support by helping clients explore their fear or aversion to certain foods, while addressing underlying emotional or psychological factors- through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or exposure therapy. This includes working on food-related anxiety, increasing food variety, and developing healthier eating habits.  The struggles associated with ARFID include nutritional deficiencies, social isolation, anxiety around meals, and difficulty participating in normal eating behaviours- Helen will work with you to reduce these challenges.
