- Emma Spiel (she/her) is NEDC’s Workforce Development Lead. Emma supports the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) team and facilitates implementation of the National Strategy by leading and consulting on workforce development strategy. Emma trained as a Clinical Psychologist and has held clinical and supervisory positions across private and public settings.
- Emma has lived experience of an eating disorder and is deeply motivated to help build systems and services that support all people experiencing or at risk of an eating disorder to receive the care they need. She has a strong interest in the intersection between food, eating, bodies and gender, neurotypes and marginalised groups and identities and in the structural and systemic influences on people’s experience of their body, and how workforce initiatives can help drive change in these areas.
