Speakers
Dr Stephen Linacre
Dr Stephen Linacre (Steve) is a clinical psychologist who is 12 years post qualifying and has had a passion for supporting people with eating disorders for many years. He has had his own personal experience of an eating disorder when he was a teenager and he uses this experience in his therapeutic work, when clinically indicated. He has worked in a range of services within the NHS providing assessment, formulation and interventions for those with intellectual disabilities, eating disorders and other mental health problems. He has previously done freelance work for Beat (the National Eating Disorders Charity), is the chair of a trustee's board for a local eating disorder charity and also has developed parent/carer skills workshops to enable parents/carers to navigate the challenging times of supporting someone with an eating disorder to move towards recovery. Steve is trained in CBT-E, Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) and FT-AN. He also has a good knowledge of CBT-AR (for ARFID) and is a trained EMDR practitioner. He has worked with people with eating disorders across the age range. He completed his doctoral thesis on the wellbeing of parent/carers of those with eating disorders and has since published peer reviewed journals on the subject. He has taken part in podcasts, radio discussions and written a chapter in a book on the topic of eating disorders. He also has recently started to work with young people with autism/adhd and has seen how these have connections with eating disorders. He has some knowledge of the PEACE pathway to support those with neurodiversity and an eating disorder and is trying to encourage Eating Disorder services to use adapted treatments that can be neurodiverse friendly.
