Heather Mikronis
Accredited Mental Health Social Worker
I have more than 20 years’ experience working in mental health and counselling, supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
My current work has a particular focus on eating and body image concerns, including emotional eating, binge eating, restrictive eating patterns, low self-esteem and the impact anxiety or ADHD can have on eating behaviours.
My approach is practical, collaborative and tailored to the individual. I draw on evidence-based therapies, including CBT-E when working with eating concerns, while also taking into account the broader life experiences, relationships and pressures that may be contributing.
I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where we can understand what is happening, identify what may be keeping the problem going, and work towards changes that feel realistic and sustainable.
