Welcome to Self Compassion Coaching

If you are looking for a weight loss coach who understands emotional eating, bingeing, night‑time eating, body image struggles, “fed up with dieting” and the toxicity of diet culture…and you’re ready for a completely different approach; a kinder, more effective way forward, one that goes beyond dieting and supports real, lasting change…you are in the right place.

I’m a self-compassion coach who deeply believes that you already have the answers within you. By practising self-compassion and kindness, I support you in reconnecting with that inner wisdom, so you can create a more peaceful relationship with food, your body and yourself… without relying on punishing diets.

I offer confidential online coaching that goes beyond what you eat, creating space to explore how you feel about yourself, your body, and your life. A place to slow down, be heard, and gently reconnect with your inner wisdom and begin to trust again the parts of you that can be lost through years of dieting.

We’ll work together to find an approach that feels right for you, fits your life, and helps you build a lasting, kinder relationship with food and your body. The focus is on compassionate, lasting change, with weight becoming just one possible outcome, rather than the only measure of success.

How can self‑compassion help with emotional and comfort eating?

Emotional and comfort eating often grow in a climate of self‑criticism: you feel stressed, lonely or overwhelmed, eat to cope for a moment, then attack yourself afterwards, which leaves you feeling worse and more likely to repeat the pattern. Self‑compassion breaks this cycle by helping you pause and ask “What am I feeling, and what do I really need?” rather than “What is wrong with me?”.

In coaching with Helen, you will learn to notice the emotions that tend to drive you to food – perhaps anxiety after work, evening loneliness, or the pressure of always having to cope – and to respond with kindness rather than blame.

That might mean acknowledging that of course you are struggling, offering yourself some soothing words, and choosing from a broader menu of comforts: rest, connection, movement, creativity, or simple grounding practices.

Over time, emotional and comfort eating usually soften because you are finally addressing the real need underneath the urge to eat, instead of trying to control the behaviour with willpower alone.

How is a self‑compassion‑based weight loss coach different?

A traditional weight loss coach often focuses on external rules: calorie targets, food lists, weigh‑ins and “staying on track”, with lapses seen as failures.

Helen’s approach as a self‑compassion‑based weight loss coach starts from your inner experience – your stories about your body, your history with dieting, your emotional triggers and your values – and recognises that real change happens when you stop waging war on yourself.

Instead of judging you for “slipping”, she’ll help you meet setbacks with curiosity and kindness, asking what was happening for you, what you needed, and what might support you next time. This shift reduces shame and makes it easier to keep going, because you are no longer terrified of making a mistake.

Many people find that as they build self‑compassion, it becomes more natural to choose foods, movement and routines that genuinely feel good – and any changes in weight become a possible side‑effect of this kinder way of living, not the only measure of success.

What does self‑compassion look like in everyday life around food and your body?

In everyday life, self‑compassion might look like noticing that you are exhausted and offering yourself permission to rest, instead of pushing through until you end up standing in the kitchen late at night eating just to keep going.

It might mean catching the critical voice that says “I’ve ruined everything” after eating past comfortable fullness, and instead telling yourself, “I had a hard day, I did my best, and I can learn from this without punishing myself.”

Helen helps you turn this into simple, personal practices around food and body image: brief check‑ins before you eat, kinder internal language, planning small moments of pleasure and nourishment, and setting boundaries that reduce the stress which often drives overeating.

Over time, these practices create a more stable emotional foundation, so patterns like all‑or‑nothing dieting, bingeing, night‑time eating and constant body‑checking naturally start to soften.

You are not trying to control yourself through fear, but to support yourself through respect – which is far more sustainable.

What happens in a self‑compassion coaching session with Helen?

A self‑compassion coaching session with Helen is a focused, confidential conversation in which you are encouraged to bring your whole experience: not just what you eat, but how you feel about yourself, your body and your life.

Helen listens carefully, reflects back what she hears, and gently introduces self‑compassion practices drawn from Mindful Self‑Compassion training, Positive Psychology and NLP.

Together, you look at the patterns that are keeping you stuck – maybe emotional eating, inner criticism, perfectionism or years of yo‑yo dieting – and explore how to respond to yourself differently.

Each session usually ends with one or two realistic, personalised steps to try before you next meet, so you leave feeling supported and clear rather than overwhelmed. Over a series of sessions, many people find that they become less of their own harshest critic and more of their own steady ally, which naturally shifts how they eat, move, rest and relate to their body and to others.

How does self‑compassion support long‑term change, especially when life is stressful?

Lasting change is rarely a straight line; stress, illness, hormones, caring responsibilities and life events all affect how you eat, move and feel.

Without self‑compassion, these bumps in the road often trigger a familiar spiral of “I’ve failed again”, which can quickly slide into giving up altogether.

Self‑compassion offers a different path: it helps you see setbacks as part of being human, respond to yourself with understanding, and gently reconnect with what matters to you instead of abandoning yourself.

In Helen’s coaching, you will practise meeting difficult days with curiosity (“What was happening for me?”) and care (“What do I need now?”) rather than judgement.

This mindset reduces shame and keeps you engaged with your goals even when progress feels slow, which research shows is crucial for sustainable change in eating and weight‑related behaviours.

Over time, self‑compassion helps you build real resilience: the capacity to bend without breaking, adjust your plans when life shifts, and return to your intentions again and again without having to start over from zero.

What if I've tried everything else and nothing has worked?

Then perhaps it's time to try something truly different: not another diet, not more restriction, not harsher rules—but genuine self-compassion.

If you've spent much of your adult life in a toxic relationship with your body, living through the lens of the diet industry, it makes sense that strategies focused on control and willpower haven't worked.

The Self-Compassion approach recognises that your desired goals need to be underpinned with kindness and self-compassion to create a sustainable foundation for change. This means working with shame resilience, positive psychology, and understanding that you're not the problem—the approach has been the problem.

When you finally respond to your struggles with warmth, support, and understanding instead of judgment and punishment, you create the conditions for healing that have always been missing. You deserve to befriend yourself, not fight yourself.

What is Self Compassion?

Self‑compassion is the practice of turning the same warmth, understanding and support you would offer a close friend towards yourself, especially when you are struggling. Instead of attacking yourself with criticism or shame, you learn to notice what you are feeling, recognise that struggle is part of being human, and respond with kindness and care.

Psychologists describe self‑compassion as having three key elements: self‑kindness rather than harsh self‑judgement, a sense of common humanity rather than feeling isolated, and mindful awareness of your emotions instead of getting swept away by them.

Helen’s coaching is built on these foundations because research shows that self‑compassion is linked to better emotional wellbeing, healthier coping strategies and more sustainable behaviour change – including around food and weight. 

Her Self‑Compassion Plan model weaves together these elements with practical tools so that any changes you make are rooted in care for yourself, not in punishment.
