About the event
Uncover the (sometimes surprising!) Ways Nutrition Influences Mood, Focus and Behaviour
Eating Emotion and Empowerment is a workshop designed for counsellors who want to deepen their understanding of how food shapes the emotional landscape of the clients they support. Drawing on two decades of clinical experience, we’ll explore how what we eat influences mood regulation, focus, emotional resilience and behavioural patterns, with particular attention to conditions such as ADHD, depression and anxiety.
This isn’t a dry lecture on nutrients; it’s a practical, eye‑opening journey into the emotional biology that counsellors witness every day in their work. You’ll discover why some clients feel calmer, clearer or more grounded after specific dietary changes, and why others struggle despite doing “everything right”. Expect myth‑busting moments, unexpected food lists, and empowering insights that will shift how you think about the role of nutrition in therapeutic outcomes.
