Co-Director
My vision for Bramacare came after a career in advertising, I realised the often negative portrayal of body image in the media has a detrimental effect on adults and young people. I wanted to offer a service that supported adults with eating disorders, recognising that each individual requires a tailored programme of care and support to overcome their own challenges. My role is Co-Director with Dr Ramoo and I am also the Registered Care Manager at The White House in Ipswich. My role extends into the community with involvement in several organisations locally and nationally, including my role as Chair of Care Development East.
Co-Director and GP
Through my experience as a GP, I have seen first-hand the effects of mental illness and eating disorders, and how beneficial it is to provide person-centred care and rehabilitation to support individuals return to their daily lives. From the initial referral to liaising with practitioners, my role is helping residents at Bramacare to meet their physical and psychological needs by providing tailored care plans and medical support.
Mental Health Nurse
My role is to identify and support residents’ mental health needs, helping residents to explore their thoughts and feelings in an open and supportive space. I help to create and implement mental health plans and I provide regular 1-2-1 sessions, as well as group sessions, with each resident, understanding that everyone is different.
Rehabilitation Manager and Eating Disorder Practitioner
My role at Bramacare is to support residents to live fulfilling lives on their road to recovery. I provide different activities to meet people’s individual interests such as art therapy, journal writing, positive affirmations and goal setting. I also deliver 1-2-1 and group therapy and wellbeing sessions as a counsellor and EDS practitioner.
