Training

Training and workshops for professionals and the public.

Collaborative and informative courses whether you are a professional looking to expand your capabilities, or an individual struggling with eating disorders or distressed eating, or you are seeking further support for your loved one suffering from an eating disorder.

The very lovely Helen Bennett & Zena Nicholas from the excellent counsellor FB forum Counsellors Staffroom joined our recent training and their feedback is below;
"Zena and I have just finished NEDDE'S incredible 2-day CPD, An Introduction to Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating with the Neurodivergent Client in Mind. I think it’s going to take me a while to process everything I learnt - there was so much interesting content on working with eating disorders and people in larger bodies, and the fascinating links between nutrition, disordered eating and neurodiversity. I can feel a new hyperfixation coming on…."

"Zena, it was brilliant we need to talk about a staffroom run"

“We had the pleasure of joining Bernie Wright face-to-face for her two day training course on Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating (encompassing the neurodivergent client). As a course leader Bernie is a perfect mix of passion and knowledge. She delivers the material with integrity and stands alongside the trainees allowing space and time to process the complex material shared- on a personal and professional level. Bernie skilfully encompasses the neurodivergent client within this training and explains the clear links between eating disorders and their effect on this particular client group.

The additional Nutritional information and resources delivered by Lisa Smith creates a rich basis from which the psychological and physiological treatments of clients can be interwoven and connected, creating the best outcome for those receiving treatment and ultimately ‘gaining health’. Bernie interrogates the language and approaches used in our current system to treat people suffering with their relationship with food, weight and shape, introducing new ideas, alongside more appropriate and person-centred methods for treatment. The training left us all wanting to learn more and, better placed to help our own clients.”

"I attended NEDDE's 2-day introductory course on eating disorders with the neurodivergent client in mind. NEDDE's training was informative, comprehensive and reflective, offered useful tools for the therapy room right from the start, and the trainers were highly skilled and knowledgeable with such a passion for working with both eating disorders and neurodiversity. Neuro-differences were also spoken about respectfully and affirmatively. Highly recommended."

“Before undertaking the 3 modules with NEDDE I was very reluctant to work with eating disorders and disordered eating. I didn’t realise how many of my clients were impacted by their thoughts and relationship with their food, weight, body image and size - it was never brought into the room by either of us.

Having completed this brilliant training, I am now comfortable to discuss and explore my clients’ relationships with food and nutrition and have also gained huge knowledge about working with neurodivergent clients too.

This training has been invaluable! Delivered by knowledgeable experts in their field.

Sadly, there was little, if any discussion around neurodivergence during my core training, this needs to change for everyone’s sake. We need to be able to meet our clients where they are, and this training empowers counsellors and therapists to do just that.

Cannot recommend it enough.”

“I have just completed modules one to three of the NEDDE Diploma in Disordered Eating and Neurodiversity.

Ive been in practice as a Psychotherapist for 16 years. Over this time I have completed a lot of CPD and professional trainings in different areas.

I can say categorically that this is the best training that I have been on. It’s so interesting, thorough and the trainers all bring their vast experience in the field into their presentations. Just excellent.

I’m looking forward to my further training with NEDDE towards the advanced clinical diploma. I would highly recommend this training.”

“I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist who works with clients on Optimising Healthy Weight.

I attended the NEDDE training courses on “An Introduction to working with Bariatric Clients” and “Working with Eating disorders and Neurodiversity' in October 2022.

The Bariatric Surgery introduction course gave a great insight, essential understanding and awareness of how a Nutritional Therapist could support a client who has gone through surgery or who was considering it. The information was delivered by many different speakers which made it very interesting, including someone who had actually had surgery which helped participants grasped a better understanding of how they could practically support a client.

I also attended “Working with Eating Disorders and Neurodiverstiy” the course was delivered by a good variety of experts and speakers, some who were neurodiverse and others who specialised in working with neurodiverse clients which meant I gained valuable understanding and practical skills in this area. I have now signed up for the next two parts of this course in 2023 which I know will be very useful in my practice.”
