Wilbraham Place Practice

Carol qualified as a Registered Dietitian in 1977. In 1980, at St George’s Hospital, London, she was invited to take part in a research project examining hypothalamic change with dietary manipulation on a series of obese woman before and after losing weight. This project initiated her interest in treating people who have a difficult relationship with food within a multi-disciplinary setting and subsequently, over the next decade, worked with patients undergoing radical treatment to help them lose weight. Additionally, her post included input to the Eating Disorders Unit run by the late Professor Arthur Crisp. During the twelve years she worked with him, she developed the clinical dietetic service to the unit and extended her own dietetic training with both individual counselling skills and group training.

In 1993, Carol joined a very limited Eating Disorder service at the Priory Hospital Roehampton and, together with a dedicated multidisciplinary team, was instrumental in fully developing the service providing treatment for in-patients/day-patients and outpatients. In 2007 Carol completed an MA entitled ‘Working with People with Eating Disorders’ at the Tavistock clinic, London. This enabled her to consider both the feeding process and her role as a dietitian in re-feeding her patients from a psychoanalytical perspective. The challenge of nutritional change that is demanded as someone gradually recovers from an eating disorder can be extremely daunting. With regular individual contact, whether in the consulting room or at the meal table, Carol will support each patient referred to her to work towards achieving this change, together with inviting support from families and friends.

Three years ago Carol left the service at Priory Hospital Roehampton and is working solely with out-patients as a partner in the Chelsea and Harley St Eating Disorder Service (CAHSEDS). Recovery from an eating disorder is only achieved when there is both nutritional and emotional change and as multi-disciplinary team, we offer a compassionate and comprehensive service to our patients to help them achieve these changes.

Penny is a senior psychotherapist specialising in the treatment of eating disorders, and the people she treats usually have co-existing conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders or obsessive compulsive disorder. She has built up over 12,000 hours of supervised clinical practice over 20 years, exclusively seeing people with all types of eating disorder.

Her original training was in integrative psychotherapy at Roehampton Institute (University of Surrey), and she went on to train more extensively in attachment-based psychodynamic therapy. She incorporates other approaches and interventions where they have been empirically demonstrated to be of use for people with eating disorders. Although everyone she sees has some form of eating disorder, she recognises that underneath the exhausting and punitive preoccupation with food, exercise and body image they are still very much their own person with their own history and character. She never forgets this. She uses her gift of holding and containing the painful and intimate issues brought by her patients, allowing a safe place for them to be explored.

Penny worked as an independent psychotherapist with the Eating Disorder Unit at the Priory Hospital Roehampton for many years, seeing individual patients and running groups as part of their extensive therapy programme. Whilst there she was offered the post of EDU Consultant Psychotherapist but turned it down, preferring to remain working independently.

She now sees individual patients in private practice at Wilbraham Place with her colleagues as a partner with the Chelsea and Harley Street Eating Disorder Service, and also runs a weekly support group for patients who are on the road to recovery.

Holli’s reputation as a prominent body-image specialist has led to her being invited to work with Susie Orbach on Anybody and Endangered Bodies. These initiatives raise awareness of body image and provide a platform for girls to begin to understand their relationship with their own bodies and to ultimately live comfortably in them. Holli contributes to several government projects including the All-Party Parliamentary Group campaign on Body Image.  Her insight and experience is helping drive change at a national level so that body image education becomes part of a bigger conversation.  In addition, alongside Susie Orbach, she continues to engage Government in the idea that early intervention is essential in order for body image problems to cease endangering the lives of boys and girls.

Her interest in how physical change affects how people feel about themselves has been a constant source of curiosity throughout her life.  As a teenager, she witnessed the impact of physical changes caused by cancer treatment on the emotional well-being of a close family member.  From then on she became acutely aware of how external changes impact the internal self.

Whether it be a physical part of yourself that you don’t like or a physical change brought upon you by accident, scarring, burns, pregnancy or aging, Holli is helping people overcome the limits and challenges that prevent them from living their lives fully.

She regularly delivers talks about fertility and pregnancy, body image issues, and general family and parenting topics.
