The Anchor Programme

What if you could feel back in control of your body—without dieting, guilt, or confusion?

The Anchor Programme is a 1:1 programme that has helped hundreds of women break free from diet frustration, reclaim confidence in their body, and nourish themselves in a way that actually works in midlife—without rules, restriction, or stress.

Using my step by step six anchor framework based on nutrition and behavioural therapy, you will redefine how you nourish your body, heal your relationship with food and take back your power. 

Does this sound familiar?

– All the diet and lifestyle advice you’re reading contradicts itself. 

– You feel like you’ve tried everything to manage your weight, but nothing sticks.

– Diets that worked in your 20s and 30s aren’t working anymore.  

– You’re tired of second-guessing every food choice.

– Perimenopause has left you feeling out of control—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

– You’re stuck in diet cycles but don’t know a better way.

nutrition and behavioural therapy based programme

If this sounds familiar,  you’re not alone. The Anchor Programme has helped hundreds of women just like you.

Over the many years I’ve supported people with their weight management, I have seen evidence, time and time again that:

– We believe that failure to control our weight is 100% our fault.

– We tend to think it’s because we lack self-control, motivation or will power.

– Diet and wellness culture surrounds us and is loud and persuasive. 

It’s time to change the conversation…

Midlife Weight Gain.

Why what used to work no longer works (and what to do instead)!

If you’ve noticed your usual eating and exercise habits aren’t having the same effect anymore, you’re not imagining it.

Midlife brings real biological shifts that influence metabolic processes, appetite, fat storage, and energy levels. You might have heard conflicting messages—some telling you to cut carbs and exercise harder, while others say to just accept the changes and move on.

The truth? Neither extreme is the answer.

✔ Yes, weight regulation becomes more complex in perimenopause and beyond.

✔ No, the solution isn’t extreme dieting or over-exercising.

✔ And no, you don’t have to ‘just accept it’ and feel powerless either.

Instead of working against your body, The Anchor Programme helps you work with it, using an approach that supports metabolic functioning, hormones, and long-term well-being—without rules or restriction. 

Introducing the Anchor Framework

This programme isn’t another diet. Based on nutrition and behavioural therapy, it’s a structured yet flexible approach to working with your body—not against it. Each anchor helps you break free from food stress, reconnect with your body, and feel more in control of your health. 

Attune

Reconnect with Your Body’s Signals

“I don’t know when I’m really hungry or full anymore.”

  • Stop second-guessing every food decision and learn how to listen to hunger, fullness, and energy needs—without guilt.

Nourish

Fuel Your Body for Strength, Wellbeing and Resilience

“I just want to eat well without stress or guilt.”

  • Move beyond diet and food rules and learn how to eat in a way that supports your energy, hormones, and health.
  • Enjoy food again, without feeling like you’re constantly “on” or “off track.”

Calm

Reduce Emotional Reactivity & Build Non-Food Coping Strategies

“I turn to food when I’m stressed, but I don’t know how to stop.”

  • Develop healthier coping strategies so food can just be food again.
  • Reduce stress-driven eating and create a sense of calm and stability.
  • Reduce the noise in your head and feel more peaceful.

Honour

Respect & Trust Your Body

“I feel frustrated with my body and wish I could just feel comfortable in my own skin.”

  •  Shift from self-criticism to self-compassion. Learn mindset techniques to support your emotional health.
  • Make choices that support your well-being—without it feeling effortful.

Optimise

Fuel & Move for Strength & Longevity

“I want to feel stronger and have more energy—but I don’t know where to start.”

  • Move beyond exercise as a means to burn calories—instead, build strength and resilience.
  • Develop confidence in strategies that fuse eating and training together for improved body composition and functionality.

Reflect

Why work with me?

Registered Dietitian & Nutrition Consultant

There’s a lot of nutrition and weight loss advice out there—but much of it isn’t designed for women in midlife.

You might have tried meal plans, calorie counting, and exercise routines that worked before—but now, they feel frustratingly ineffective.

I understand, because I’ve spent over 20 years helping thousands of women just like you break free from diet confusion and find a smarter, more sustainable approach.

 

✔ Registered Dietitian & Nutrition Consultant – My NHS experience taught me more about what doesn’t work than what does and it lead me to complete extensive training in Intuitive Eating, Behaviour Change Training and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help women build a truly healthy relationship with food.

✔ A science-based, real-life approach – No quick fixes or false promises, just an evidence-backed method that works for your body in midlife.

✔ A holistic, compassionate way forward – We focus on nutrition, mindset, and behaviour change, so you don’t just “know what to do”—you actually feel in control of it.

I know lasting change isn’t about another meal plan or strict rules—it’s about learning how to work with your body, not against it. That’s exactly what we’ll do together.

It is possible to take back the power and regulate your body and systems again.

I invite you to dial down the diet noise and instead anchor yourself in greater confidence, happiness and health.

“I’m a different person. I feel stronger, calmer and comfortable with my diet. I understand my body better. You’ve really steadied me; I feel better about myself, and more in control of my emotions. I’m kinder to myself, and consequently feel more valued.”

“Oh my god, this process works! I’m not restricting and I don’t feel miserable.”

 

“It’s been mind-bogglingly enlightening, which I didn’t expect to feel”

This programme IS for you if...

  • • You can’t bear the thought of yet another restrictive diet and are ready to look at things in a more enlightening way.
  • • Your body is changing and weight loss feels like a struggle.
  • • You want to feel back in control.
  • • You’re ready for some reflections, revelations and some investment in you.

This programme is NOT for you if...

  • • You’d like another prescriptive diet plan.
  • • You’re not ready to take a smarter, more holistic look at your weight and health management.
  • • You’re not able to commit to some ‘homework’ between appointments. This is designed to fit into real life, but if you’re about to move house for example, it’s probably not the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions.

My experience tells me diet plans are short lived. Initially they feel like the answer, as someone else has done the thinking part, but in reality they don’t arm you with the tools you truly need to build confidence in your food choices and relationship. Instead, discussions are entirely collaborative and can involve meal and snack ideas and building confidence around portion sizes that feel right for you.

This programme is designed to regulate your food intake and create calm around your food relationship, both of which support healthy weight regulation. There are many factors that influence the exact number on the scale, some of which are not even within our conscious control. Weight loss is not the primary focus of the work we do together, but is often a by-product.

The frequency and length of the sessions lend themselves to us working together online. I’ll always aim to be as flexible as possible though, so we can talk about this.
