Hi there, nice to meet you. My name is Lareena & I’m a Clinical Psychologist. 

I am a warm and collaborative therapist. I have a special interest in the psychology of eating, weight, movement and body image.

I am particularly interested in supporting clients living in larger bodies, including those with Binge Eating Disorder and atypical Anorexia, and those who experience other eating related challenges.

As an ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder clinician, I have completed extensive eating disorder training.

I am passionate about helping people to become the healthiest versions of themselves while becoming free from the harmful culture of dieting.

I have also completed additional training in the assessment and management of ADHD, and have a keen interest in the relationship between neurodiversity and eating and weight issues.

Lareena Brown Clinical Psychologist

“I am passionately interested in the complex relationship between neurodiversity & eating and weight difficulties - I feel very privileged to continue learning more and more about this from the clients I support”.
