Professor Julia Buckroyd

Professor Julia Buckroyd is Emeritus Professor of Counselling at the University of Hertfordshire and works in the field of eating disorders, helping clients to break the habit of yo-yo dieting or restricting, bingeing, purgingand regain control over their lives and relationships. She is an author, broadcaster and therapist who brings her personal research experience to provide her clients with evidence based interventions.
Julia specialises in understanding eating behaviour and she can teach you to manage your daily life without having to use food.
She can also show you how to return food to an ordinary source of pleasure instead of danger, an endless temptation or possibly a cause of guilt or shame.
Her therapeutic strategy is based on the research literature which suggests that poor attachment history, alexithymia, poor self esteem/body esteem and difficulties in self-soothing/emotional regulation and forming mutually supportive relationships, are all huge on-going problems for this particular group.
