Bio
Dr McCarthy is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. She has a Doctorate in the psychology of eating disorders from the University of Oxford and has 23 years' experience in working with adults who are experiencing mental health problems, initially in the British National Health Service and more recently in private practice.
Dr McCarthy has developed a radical approach to weight loss as an alternative to dieting. "Positively Hungry" uses gentle, daily hunger to achieve permanent weight loss. Positively Hungry achieves success by helping people to make stepwise changes to their existing eating patterns. The approach deals directly with resistance to change, anxiety and other "saboteurs" which appear when people try to lose weight.
