Julia Buckroyd
PROFESSOR JULIA BUCKROYD

Professor Julia Buckroyd is Emeritus Professor of Counselling at the University of Hertfordshire and works in the field of eating disorders, helping clients to break the habit of yo-yo dieting and regain control over their lives and relationships. She is an author, broadcaster and therapist who brings her personal research experience to provide her clients with evidence based interventions. Julia specialises in understanding eating behavior. She works on how to return food to an ordinary source of pleasure instead of danger, an endless temptation or possibly a cause of guilt or shame. Her therapeutic strategy is based on the research literature which suggests that poor attachment history, alexithymia, poor self esteem/body esteem and difficulties in self-soothing/emotional regulation and forming mutually supportive roles, are all huge on-going problems for this particular group.


Peter Woolf
PETER WOOLF

Peter Woolf’s life of drinking, drug-taking and thieving had begun before most people leave school. Spending most of his adult life in prison made no difference to him: life itself offered him no hope. Today, amazingly, Peter is clean and has not reoffended since a life-changing meeting in 2002 when he came face to face with some of his victims. His Book The Damage Done is a searingly honest and gritty portrayal of a man ensconced in an endless cycle of drugs, violence, prison and depravity who, one Tuesday afternoon in a glass room at Pentonville prison, was forced to confront all that he had destroyed.
