Flounder to Flourish
For purpose-driven, self-aware women ready to end their emotional overeating and binge eating without spending more precious time over-complicating the answer.
Break the habit of a lifetime to live a life free from binge eating and emotional-overeating, and find food freedom - for good.
Maybe this feels close to home?
You’ve been stuck in the emotional overeating or binge eating cycle for longer than you ever thought you would be, and despite your motivation and brilliant skill set, you haven’t been able to break free
You’re the friend/sister/partner that everyone comes to for life advice, but you can’t seem to crack the one thing that other people find so effortless
You’ve read the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, tried the meditation apps, exhausted Google (and yourself!) only to end up back at square one every Monday
To the outside world, you’re crushing it, and life is good, but your relationship with food leaves you feeling lonely, frustrated, and distressed
You’re done with quick fixes that don’t work, and you know, deep down, that dieting only makes the bingeing and overeating worse
What if life could be like this instead?
You’re able to interrupt your cravings and binge urges before they take over
You keep treats in the house without worrying that you’ll binge on them later
You recognise your hunger cues and are able to leave food on your plate and crisps in the packet when you’ve had enough
No more 9pm cupboard raids
A meal out won’t lead to a binge later
You enjoy food as one part of a full life
Never again will you need to say the words ‘diet starts Monday!’

Meet your needs regularly, so that the cravings and urges stop, and food becomes ‘just food’ again
Rewire your brain to find safety and comfort without binge eating
Trust that you can meet yourself deeply and compassionately now and in the future to face life without relying on bingeing and emotional overeating.
“It’s like a weight has been lifted. I felt like I had no control around chocolate and never knew why. Sophie helped me to understand why and to make the changes I needed to feel relaxed around chocolate. I used to feel like such a failure and now I feel like I can live.”
Maddie, higher education manager and mum of twoIdentify where and why the binge eating and emotional overeating urges are coming from, recognise those patterns before the urges take over, and connect with your needs to move away from food reliance and towards an emotionally calm brain that doesn’t need to binge or overeat.

“I immediately knew that working with Sophie would be powerful and she put me at ease straightaway. I don’t binge eat any more. This is 100% the best investment I’ve made in myself.”

Understand your relationship with food and heal it from the inside out
Even if the thought of ‘doing the deeper work’ makes you want to run away!
When I started healing my own relationship with food back in 2018, I was convinced I’d be able to work out how to stop binge eating and emotionally overeating on my own.
How hard could it be?! Quite hard, as you’re probably finding out.
You absolutely can do it alone…Or you could work with someone like me who has made all the mistakes, so you don’t have to, and get there so much faster.
I had 17 years’ experience of binge eating and emotional overeating, and now I have eight years experience of being binge and overeating free, and I’ve never looked back.
And since qualifying as a coach in 2023, I’ve pivoted my 10 years’ experience of supporting women in the charity and HE sector, to coaching women to heal their own relationships with food.
I’d love to help you start healing your relationship with food. So you never have to worry about binge eating or emotionally overeating again.
How we’ll work together
-
We’ll have a 30-minute Zoom call to see how we can work together. I’d love to hear what you’d like to work on, and I’ll tell you about my coaching approach.
-
In week one we’ll identify what’s brought you here. We’ll timeline your food and/or movement history, challenges and the impact on your life. We’ll make links between what’s going on now and your learnt behaviours and mindset around food We’ll chat about what you’d like to be different, and set a goal to work towards.
-
In week two we’ll uncover what’s really driving your urge to binge and we’ll focus on ways you can identify, validate and meet your needs without turning to food.
-
In week three we’ll explore the all-or-nothing mindset, uncover where this mindset is keeping you stuck in binge cycles, and make a plan to honour your appetite in all its forms. We’ll make a ‘reset’ plan for when all-or-nothing thinking might sabotage you between sessions.
-
In week four we’ll uncover the thoughts and internal chatter that you have around food, identifying what triggers this, and plan out how to support yourself when those triggers arise, so that the mind chatter goes quiet.
-
In week five we’ll create a plan for when the urges and cravings are loud. We’ll use brain re-wiring techniques, so that you never have to ‘think’ your way out of a binge again.
-
In week six we’ll take a look at the areas in life that cause you most stress and identify where and how you could feel more supported.
-
In week seven we’ll focus on getting your brain re-attuned to hunger and fullness cues, and plan for how you’ll intuitively recognise what your body needs.
-
In week eight we’ll identify when things feel tough and when you feel most challenged. Together, we’ll create a support plan for those times.
