Elaine Garrigan
Health Psychologist Specialising in GLP-1 Support
Elaine Garrigan has an MSc in Health Psychology through the University of Ulster and a BA (Hons) in Psychology. She has also professional certificates and training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. She is accredited and a member of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) and the PSI division of Health Psychology.
Elaine uses a combined therapeutic approach to health behaviour change in the area of weight management, anxiety, stress management and work-related burn out.
Elaine works with clients to develop a healthy relationship with food and body image. She also works with clients in developing healthy coping tools to manage anxiety and stress and to support clients in changing lifestyle behaviours. High levels of anxiety and stress are associated with a range of illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle change such as losing weight and managing stress can be extremely effective in lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and controlling blood/ glucose levels.
Over the last 15 years Elaine has worked with clients in areas of disordered eating and binge eating, by providing a non- judgemental space to support and identify underlining causes of unhealthy food relationships. By combining therapeutic techniques such as CBT and Mindfulness we work at reducing anxiety and behaviour change in coping.
Elaine also works with clients who are prescribed weight loss medication particularly GLP -1’s (such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Trulicity) and combined with therapeutic work, resulting in very successful change in longer term weight management, improved self-esteem and healthy eating.
