ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential

I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential, issued by the Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED). This credential is a significant recognition of my qualifications, knowledge, and dedication to providing safe and effective treatment for individuals experiencing eating disorders.

What is the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential?

The ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential is a formal acknowledgment designed to ensure that mental health professionals meet the highest standards in the treatment of eating disorders. It signifies that a clinician has undergone the necessary training, professional development, and supervision required to deliver evidence-based care.

To achieve this credential, clinicians must demonstrate:

  • Relevant Qualifications: A background in mental health or dietetics with appropriate clinical experience.
  • Specialized Training: Completion of approved training programs focused on eating disorder treatment.
  • Ongoing Professional Development: Commitment to continued education and skill development through annual professional learning activities.
  • Ethical & Safe Practice: Adherence to professional and ethical guidelines ensuring high-quality care.

Why This Credential Matters

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions requiring specialized care. With this credential, I join a network of Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinicians who are listed in the Find Eating Disorder Help Directory, making it easier for individuals and families to find qualified support. I can also be located in the Butterfly Foundation directory.

For clients, this credential provides reassurance that they are receiving care from a clinician with verified expertise in the field. It also reflects my commitment to continuous learning and delivering best-practice interventions for those affected by eating disorders.

Moving Forward

Earning the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential is both an honor and a responsibility. It motivates me to further expand my knowledge, refine my skills, and contribute to improving access to effective treatment. I look forward to continuing this journey and supporting individuals in their recovery with evidence-based, compassionate care.

Thank you to ANZAED for this recognition, and to all my clients, mentors, and colleagues who continue to inspire my work in this field.
