About me

My Photo
Dr Charlotte Cooper
I have been a fat activist for more than 25 years. My background is in journalism, digital media, consultancy and alternative culture. I have authored two books and am widely published.

I am also an experienced, qualified, registered psychotherapist working face-to-face and via phone and Skype. People tend to come to see me because of my approach to and expertise around fat/obesity. My clients say that they value having a non-judgmental place to explore how body size affects their lives.

I remain available for speaking engagements, consultancy and journalism commissions.
