Catherine McNamara-White: CBT Therapist and Mental Health Nurse (RMN, CBT Psychotherapy; BABCP Accredited).
Throughout my years of working in eating disorder services, I have seen firsthand how other difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, perfectionism and trauma can underpin or maintain difficulties with eating. By working collaboratively, I endeavour to enable clients to address co-morbidities and empower them in their recovery to achieve their goals.
Training and Experience
Since qualifying as a mental health nurse (1986), I have worked in the NHS services for both Children and Young People as well as adults.
In 2021 I specialised in working with people with eating disorders across different age ranges. I continue to work as a senior CBT Therapist for Kent and Medway All Age Eating Disorder Service. I am trained in a range NICE guideline recommended treatments for eating disorders across all ages, as well as therapeutic modalities for comorbidities such as anxiety, depression and OCD.
