Louise is a clinical psychologist, the founder of Treat Yourself Well Sydney and creator of Treat Yourself Well online. She has written two books, 'Mindful Moments', and 'The Non-Diet Approach Handbook for Psychologists and Counsellors' (with Fiona Willer, APD).
Louise has been practising for nearly 20 years. She is on the Board of the Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH). She is also a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and a member of the Clinical College of the APS.
Louise works every day to teach people how to 'treat themselves well', to increase their self-compassion, and to become their own therapist. She has a special interest in problematic eating, body image, and weight struggles. Louise fights to educate people about the cruel trap of dieting, which only sets us up to fail. She uses an evidence based anti-dieting approach to empower people to achieve permanent lifestyle change.
Louise is wholly committed to the Health At Every Size (HAES®) movement, to spreading the word about shifting our attitudes about weight and health. Louise is determined to make a difference in changing society's perceptions about health, diets, weight loss and bodies. Louise believes that people can approach health and happiness without attaching it to weight change. She is for body diversity and against fat prejudice.
As well as her work with individual clients at Treat Yourself Well Sydney, Louise conducts workshops and conferences for the general public and health professionals interested in changing their approach to weight management. Louise also speaks with the media, and has appeared numerous times in magazines, newspapers, radio, and on television to help spread the message. She blogs, she tweets, she never shuts up about these issues!
