We had the pleasure of joining Bernie Wright face-to-face for her two day training course on Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating (encompassing the neurodivergent client). As a course leader Bernie is a perfect mix of passion and knowledge. She delivers the material with integrity and stands alongside the trainees allowing space and time to process the complex material shared- on a personal and professional level. Bernie skilfully encompasses the neurodivergent client within this training and explains the clear links between eating disorders and their effect on this particular client group.

The additional Nutritional information and resources delivered by Lisa Smith creates a rich basis from which the psychological and physiological treatments of clients can be interwoven and connected, creating the best outcome for those receiving treatment and ultimately ‘gaining health’. Bernie interrogates the language and approaches used in our current system to treat people suffering with their relationship with food, weight and shape, introducing new ideas, alongside more appropriate and person-centred methods for treatment. The training left us all wanting to learn more and, better placed to help our own clients.
