Emma is an experienced Eating Disorders Psychotherapist specialising in emotional eating and binge eating disorder, and an Entrepreneur and expert in the business of therapy and health coaching in private practice.
Emma developed the Eating Freely™ Program for Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder out of her 12 years' experience as a clinician in private practice.
The Eating Freely™ program is now a licensed program being rolled out internationally to both clients and health professionals wishing to specialise in emotional eating and binge eating disorder.
Eating Freely™ is available to clients as an online self-directed program, a one-to-one and group program delivered through the international Eating Freely™ network of practitioners, and in 2022 will be available as a Residential Retreat program.
Always a maverick, Emma was a very early adopter in online health support. Her forward-thinking work in making disordered eating support more accessible and affordable through an innovative online program earned her an Elevator Award from Social Entrepreneurs Ireland in 2012, when online mental health support was practically unheard of.
Emma now serves on the SEI selection panel, and mentors up and coming SEI program participants pro bono. Her mission is to empower the helpers of the world to thrive as they support others to thrive. Too many coaches and therapists struggle with money, being business minded and marketing. Emma asks "how can you help anyone, if nobody knows who you are?"
Out of her experience of developing her own specialist client program into a CE approved specialist training for Health Professionals, Emma is now collaborating with subject matter experts to develop CE approved professional training in their areas of expertise - from Menopause to Self-Compassion and other exciting and important areas of health and wellbeing. Her training company - Opal Success - now trains health professionals worldwide via a blended online learning platform.
