Our Mission is to empower young people with the tools and knowledge to face life’s challenges and to assist family, friends and carers with the support required to empower them to engage and best support young people affected by eating disorders.

Good nutrition isn’t just for athletes, kids, or people in recovery—it matters at every age and stage of life. The right balance of foods helps fuel your body, support your mind, and keep you thriving day to day.
If you’re looking for support to make sense of what your body needs—or just want some practical, realistic strategies—Stepping Stones with Helen Dean is here to guide you. Together, we can build a way of eating that feels balanced, enjoyable, and sustainable.

Helping You Feel Safe Around Food

Food shouldn’t feel scary — but when it does, the way forward is gentle exposure. Step by step, we can work together to rebuild trust in your body, challenge fears, and make eating feel safe again.

Exposure therapy in eating disorder recovery isn’t about pushing you too far, too fast. It’s about creating a safe space to:
Try feared foods with support
Break old rules and routines
Learn that no single food has the power to harm your worth or wellbeing

You don’t have to do it alone. 💛

If you’re ready to take the next step towards freedom with food, reach out — support is here.

Binge eating is not about “lack of willpower”! Working with someone who truly understands binge eating means you’re not facing it alone.

Binge eating is not about “lack of willpower”, it’s often the body and mind’s response to restriction, stress, or unmet needs. The cycle can feel exhausting and isolating, leaving many people stuck between shame and the urge to try harder on their own.
But recovery is possible, and support is crucial. Working with someone who truly understands binge eating means you’re not facing it alone. Together we can explore the “why” behind the binges, rebuild a balanced relationship with food, and create strategies that honour both your physical and emotional needs.
You don’t have to keep struggling in silence, healing happens with guidance, compassion, and the right tools.

✅ Delicious

Life is so much richer than numbers on a scale or grams on a plate. Weighing food can keep you stuck in rules and routines, instead of enjoying meals, connection, and freedom. A life best lived isn’t dictated by numbers—it’s nourished by trust, balance, and experiences beyond the plate.
