PRACTITIONERS
RACHELROBERTS
HAES® and Fat-Positive Counsellor
"I am a counsellor with a strong passion for fat positivity, social justice and trauma-informed counselling approaches.
When thinking about your body becomes more than just a preoccupation, when it's constantly eating away at your thoughts and you're having trouble finding anything positive to say about yourself - that is a sign that you might benefit from some support around your body image. You deserve not only to have your 'mental real estate' freed up from negative body thoughts, but to be supported in finding all the ways you and your body can exist together on the same team.
I'm thrilled that Make Space Counselling has a home at Haven - and all members are able to access concession pricing for counselling sessions.

LIZKIRBY
Non-Diet- and HAES-Aligned Counsellor
Liz is a fellow non-diet and HAES-aligned professional with a familiar story of being disconnected from body and being stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, control, dieting, bingeing, emotional eating, people-pleasing and self-help addiction.
Fast forward a few years and Liz is free from dieting, has a great relationship with food and movement and moves and eats intuitively. Liz brings her own lived experience as well as her professional experience as a coach and counsellor into her sessions. It's not a one size fits all approach and will be carefully catered to your unique needs.

NINA
KINGSFORD-SMITH
Non-diet and HAES-aligned Nutritionist (BHSc NutDMed)
Nina's passion lies in helping people form a truly happy and healthy relationship with food. With lived experience and a special interest in disordered eating, Nina believes that your relationship with food is in fact more important than the food you eat. She looks beyond what you eat, to your thoughts, feelings and behaviours around food. She's also passionate about helping those who experience anxiety, stress and other co-existing health concerns.
By taking a holistic and individualised approach, Nina will listen to you and your unique story; help you let go of the diet mentality; find a way of eating that truly works for you; reconnect with food and yourself in a loving joyful way; and ultimately find your happy place with food, your body and yourself.
