AGLAIA SABRINA CHORAFA

Specialist Dietitian & Psychotherapist in training

My name is Sabrina. I'm an HCPC-registered Dietitian specialising in eating disorders and a UKCP Psychotherapist in training. I hold a master’s in Eating Disorders and Clinical Nutrition from UCL.

I have worked across NHS and private services, including Cygnet, ORRI, CNWL’s Vincent Square Eating Disorders Service for Children and Young People and St Ann's Eating Disorder Service within North London NHS Foundation Trust, supporting adults with complex and high-risk eating disorders. I also volunteer with LAPIS, a charity providing long-term psychotherapy for people living with disabilities and long-term health conditions.

I have worked across NHS and private services, including Cygnet, ORRI, CNWL’s Vincent Square Eating Disorders Service for Children and Young People, and St Ann’s Eating Disorder Service, where I served as outpatient manager, leading a multidisciplinary team supporting adults with complex, high-risk eating disorders until June 2026. I also volunteer with LAPIS, a charity offering open-ended psychotherapy for people living with disabilities and long-term health conditions.

Every person carries a unique history, and I believe meaningful therapeutic work needs to be flexible enough to honour that. My approach is rooted in curiosity. I am interested in what distress may be expressing, before trying to make it go away.

The things we struggle with, difficult feelings, physical symptoms, repeating patterns, and ways of being that no longer serve us, are rarely random. Often, they are meaningful responses to experiences and relationships that have shaped us, sometimes long before we had words for them.

Many of us come to therapy knowing our story well. We can trace our patterns, explain our pain, and make sense of how we came to be who we are, yet still find ourselves feeling stuck. While insight can be valuable, it is not always enough to move us. Sometimes it is through the experience of being with another person that something begins to feel different, and change becomes possible.

Therapy is not always comfortable. Staying with what feels difficult, uncertain, or painful can gradually open up new ways of understanding ourselves and relating to others. I see therapy as a collaborative exploration of both past and present, one that may create the possibility of greater freedom and choice in how we live.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. I pay attention to how the past lives in the present and to what unfolds between us in the therapeutic relationship. In this relationship, old patterns can be understood and experienced differently, allowing new ways of feeling and relating to become possible. I also make space for existential questions around meaning, freedom, loss and uncertainty.

I work with adults who come to therapy for a range of reasons, with a particular interest and experience in eating disorders.
