Joanna Hooks
Hello my name is Joanna and I am a qualified HCPC registered Advanced Dietitian with 8 years of clinical NHS experience. I have gained a wide range of expertise due to previous rotational roles but currently work as an Advanced Eating Disorder Dietitian within a North East based service. These settings include inpatient, day service setting and community setting. I work with a range of conditions including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating disorder, Disordered eating. I also have experience with ASD related eating difficulties, ADHD adaptations, malnutrition, weight management, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive related issues.
Although I am trained in motivational interviewing and behavioural change I recently completed a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT E) PGDip at Sheffield University to be able to really understand the connection between our mind and body. Therefore, I can also provide CBT E therapy for Eating Disorders.
I am passionate about helping others lead as full a life as possible and work collaboratively with patients, staff, families and carers to address individual’s nutritional concerns/deficiencies whilst trying to overcome any physical or psychological barriers. I hope to empower you and give you the skills to live the life you want.
I offer 10-15 minute discovery call to explore if I can offer the services and support you require and for any questions you may have.
