I am a psychologist in private practice, specialising in health psychology, working mainly with eating disorders. I work from a psychodynamic approach which takes the deep unconscious into consideration when dealing with a person.

When Lori called me up to ask me to be her coach for an "international competition on the Internet," I had no idea what it was all about - I didn't even have a computer at that stage!

My job these past months has been to overlook what Lori writes. In the beginning, I helped her start by giving her some books to read and meeting with her quite frequently. During these meetings, we would go over what she had written and I would answer any questions she had. Towards the end, I was her main 'accuracy check,' especially in the emotions and stress sections.

Well done, all of you, for putting this site together - it has been a wonderful experience for me!
