About Amy
Amy Gardiner BSc (Hons), MBPsS
Advanced Eating Disorders Practitioner | Binge Eating and Bulimia Specialist (NCFED)
I support people experiencing difficulties with bulimia, binge eating, emotional eating, and chaotic patterns around food. My work is evidence-based, practical, and focuses on helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of your eating choices in your day‑to‑day life.
My approach is weight‑inclusive and compassionate. I pay attention to the experiences, habits, and influences that shape someone’s relationship with food, and I work in a way that’s respectful and free from judgement.
My background blends psychology, behaviour change, and specialist training in eating disorder support. My specialisms include supporting people experiencing difficulties with binge eating and bulimia as well as supporting people in establishing intuitive eating practices. I’ve completed advanced training with the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED), including nutritional interventions and specialist behavioural approaches that help people understand what drives their eating patterns and how to modify them in a sustainable way.
Over the years, I’ve worked across a range of health and recovery settings, both within the NHS and in private practice. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how stress, trauma, and long‑term patterns shape someone’s relationship with food, and what actually helps people create change that lasts. It taught me to look at the whole picture, not just the behaviour on the surface.
All of this shapes the way I work: offering structured support that helps you understand what’s going on beneath the surface and giving you practical steps forward. My goal is for you to feel understood, supported, and capable of making changes that truly stick.
Training and background
My work brings together psychology, behaviour change and specialist knowledge in binge eating, emotional eating and disordered eating support. I’ve completed advanced training with the National Centre for Eating Disorders, including nutritional and behavioural approaches that help people understand the patterns behind their eating and develop more sustainable ways forward.
My experience has given me a grounded understanding of how stress, trauma and long‑term habits can shape someone’s relationship with food, and what genuinely helps people create change that lasts. My approach is holistic and takes account of the whole person, not just the behaviour on the surface.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, advanced training with the National Centre for Eating Disorders, and am a member of the British Psychological Society. This background allows me to offer support that is steady, compassionate and practical, with a focus on helping people feel more at ease and more in control around food.
Who I support
I provide online support for binge eating, bulimia, and emotional eating across the UK, helping you stop binge eating and build a more balanced relationship with food. I also work with clients who want to explore the benefits of intuitive eating, which can be particularly helpful following recovery from disordered eating.
Clients often describe swinging between restriction and overeating, feeling out of control around food, or using eating to cope with stress, overwhelm, or difficult emotions. Others simply want to stop thinking about food all the time, break out of diet cycling, and build a calmer, more balanced way of eating.
My support is structured, practical, and evidence-based, grounded in behaviour change and designed to help you understand what's driving your eating patterns and give you tools you can actually use in everyday life.
I offer tiered programmes for adults and adolescents, as well as individual private sessions for those who prefer one-to-one support without a programme commitment. Both are delivered online and take a compassionate, weight-inclusive approach that helps you make sense of your eating and move toward a more peaceful relationship with food.
