Episode 5: Exploring ARFID with Jackie Harding

Join Michelle and Jo in this insightful episode as they welcome special guest Jackie Harding—a psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist, and eating disorder specialist with both personal and professional experience of ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).

Jackie shares her journey, from lived experience to her current work supporting children, young people, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, disordered eating, trauma, self-harm, and neurodivergence. With a background in sports psychology, psychotherapy, and holistic well-being, she blends evidence-based approaches like CBT-E and DBT with person-centred care.

Tune in as we explore what ARFID really is, how it differs from other eating disorders, and how compassion, connection, and understanding can pave the way to healing.
