TLC
Tender Loving Care or Tanya Lovett Care
- it's what I offer you
Tender Loving Care:
a phrase that embodies the spirit of kindness, compassion, and nurturing support. It is about providing care that is both gentle and attentive. TLC is more than just a set of actions; it’s an attitude that values empathy, patience, and a deep commitment to the well-being of others.
About - you and me
You:
You are a woman in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, wanting to recover from your eating disorder. You're probably exhausted and wondering whether anything can help. Most likely you will have been affected for years or even decades, and many parts of your life now look so different from what you'd pictured when you were young.​
​
Me:
TLC - which stands for Tanya Lovett Care - was an acronym given to me by a colleague in the NHS, who saw that what I offered our patients closely resembled the usual meaning of TLC - tender loving care.
I offer you an approach which is guided by my use of compassion, curiosity and kindness and which puts you at the centre of your recovery. I have worked for over 30 years in the NHS, principally in eating disorder services. I bring knowledge and experience from that and combine it with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or tapping) and hypnotherapy to offer you an approach to recovery that is different and can be effective where other approaches haven't been.

Eating Disorders or disordered eating
​
can be life threatening, definitely life impacting and can leave a person feeling powerless. People I work with who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, have often struggled for years or decades, wanting desperately to recover, and at the same time fearing what that means - loss of identity, facing feelings that have long been buried, changing shape, being seen, saying no - or yes, grieving and growing.
​
Through TLC I commit to meet you with gentleness, kindness, compassion. I commit to listen, to accept without a shred of judgement, to be curious and to support you to discover you and support you to have the courage to be that you.
EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques or Tapping
offers a unique way of addressing issues. It has to be experienced to know its potential, but it offers a gentle and often easy way to disempower a trauma response, change a perspective or understanding, release patterns and habits that have become stuck - as it says in the name, give you emotional freedom.
​
Hypnotherapy
offers another way of helping the conscious mind "get out of the way" so that healing and change can take place.
​
And just to note
Both techniques draw on your inner knowledge and resources - they are not done to you. I believe in uncovering what you already know, but perhaps were too frightened to own. I believe you need to be at the centre of your recovery.
I recommend you commit yourself to a series of sessions so you can really give yourself space to recover; I offer a discount when you book 10 sessions. But I'd recommend you book one session first and then, if you're happy working with me, book the package
And I work online, so you can stay in your space for each session.
