Nedde Training

NEDDE ( Neurodiversity, Eating Diversity and Distressed Eating) is a pioneering and innovative company founded by Bernie Wright and Lisa Smith, who have wealth of knowledge and expertise built up over many years of clinical practice. Bernie as a BACP Accred Counsellor and clinical supervisor, and also worked as senior lecturer and clinical lead for NCFED. Lisa is a BANDT Reg Nutritionist specialising in functional nutrition and has been a senior lecturer with a College of Naturopathic Medicine for past 13 years. She also works closely with a cognitive neuroscientist studying and understanding the interaction between hormones, neurotransmitters and behaviours. While research shows 1 in 5 are estimated to be Neurodivergent, this number significantly rises in those with Eating Diversity, and we recognise the traditional approach to supporting Eating Diversity does not embrace the individuality of the Neurodivergent client, nor their need to be supported in a person centred way. Courses are led by Bernie Wright and Lisa Smith and call upon the knowledge of key experts in the field of both Neurodiversity and Eating Disorders, with the aim of helping attendees to deepen their understanding of working with these two, often coexisting issues.
