Our Mission
WELCOME!
I'm Emma Murphy.
I’m Emma, and I have worked with clients for over 12 years as a Psychotherapist specialist in Food, Weight & Body Image.
Over this time I’ve developing a structured, evidence based way of working with clients that really does offer them true freedom around food – forever.
My Eating Freely Program has even won an Award from Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, in recognition for making Disordered Eating Support more accessible and affordable via our Online Program option.
It is my mission to ensure anyone, anywhere can get the specialist support they need to finally overcome their long standing battle with food, their weight and their body image.
The Eating Freely Program is available as an online self-directed program, and through working 1:1 with one of our qualified Health Professionals who have taken further specialist training with us to become a Licensed Eating Freely Practitioner.
So you can get the help you need no matter where you are, no matter how long you’ve been struggling, and with NO judgment, no dieting, and no shame.
The Eating Freely™ Program
combines four pillars of support:
CBT or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – tools to help reduce binge eating episodes immediately;
Nutrition and Gut Rehabilitation – over time, binge eating impacts your gut, which impacts your hormones, your sleep, your energy and your physical health. We need to reverse this!
Neuroscience – because a lot of what happens is in ‘Autopilot’ and triggered at an unconscious level. Your brain is only trying to keep you safe, but the Automatic Habits it has on file are working against you, not for you!
Mindfulness and Self-Compassion – because how helpful is that Inner Critical Voice, really?
We have Licensed Eating Freely™ Practitioners all around the world, most of whom also work online.
Whether you are an adult struggling with long standing emotional or binge eating, or a practitioner looking to support clients with a specialist evidence based program, you are in the right place.
The Eating Freely™ Program is unique. We separate food from feelings, and the past from the present, supporting clients to finally find true freedom around food, forever.
HEAR FROM SOME OF OUR NETWORK MEMBERS
"I was searching for an honest evidence-based approach to support my clients and I have found that in this Program. Before I found Eating Freely, I could see that many physical symptoms clients were experiencing were due to some form of inner conflict. They were striving to get control over what they were eating in an attempt to fix or even avoid their emotional discomfort.
This program allows you to work on the food, to build a solid and safe relationship for someone with what they eat. Even that one step creates a huge shift in behavior for my clients now. However, this program is so expertly created that it then moves into a phase of drawing awareness to the behaviors that stem from the past but impact hugely on the current day bingeing or emotional eating behaviors, those inner conflicts that are sabotaging all efforts to be fit, slim or healthy.
On a personal level, the support I have received has been immense. The Eating Freely team are always at the other end of the phone to answer any questions I have. Coaching/NT are all industries that can be lonely to work in, but this group not only offers professional advice but mentoring and connection with like minded people.
I was only reflecting to Emma the other day that in joining this programme, I now get to do more of what I love doing. In fact I would say that my business is now 5 years ahead of where I thought it would be, which is only testament to the quality of this Program. It works. And for anyone thinking about their next step in the Wellness field then look no further, here it is.

"I've been meaning to reach out since I finished up the Eating Freely Program with Denise a few months ago. My guess is it's not the first time you'll have had this feedback, but the experience has been life changing.
I'm not sure I have the words to describe the turnround in my attitude to food, my body, self-compassion. The program has had consequences on my whole outlook that I never could have imagined.
I have ended (won!) a decades long battle with weight and food, and I am so much more content with life in general.
All the best, and thanks again for the work you and your team are doing — you're making a remarkable, lasting difference to people's lives. Marina, a client of Denise. Unsolicited testimonial sent to Emma by email, permission granted to share. "

"Being trained as an Eating Freely™ Practitioner has definitely
enhanced my practice. The training provided me with effective tools
to help clients who suffer from emotional eating and binge eating
disorder.
Clients love the structure of the program, they can track their progress on a weekly basis by doing their homework and exercises and reviewing them in session with me. Usually, by week five, clients have a clear idea of the reasons why they binge and no longer feel powerless, they know they are building the necessary skills to tackle their issues.
It is very rewarding for me to witness clients creating a healthier relationship with food and with themselves by the end of the program. In terms of the fee I paid for the training, I considered it an investment in my professional growth and it paid itself back by working with my first two clients. I would not have the knowledge and the skills to help clients struggling with emotional eating without the skills that this training provided me with and I would certainly refer those clients if I did not have the appropriate training.
I now understand how much of this area I did not know about or truly understand—it IS a specialist area, and a very rewarding area to work in."
