The Clinical Team

Dr Michael Orwin - Bsc (Hons), MSc, DClinPsy.
Lead Eating Disorder Clinical Psychologist
Michael brings specialty clinical experience within eating disorders across adult, adolescent and performance populations. He has studied at the university's of Liverpool, Dalhousie, Newcastle and Leeds and is a published author of multiple eating behaviour studies. He has worked in the NHS for over 8 years. Michael also has a personal background in a variety of sports settings himself. His approach as a Psychologist is evidence-based, practical and athlete-centred, focusing on the perfect balance of mental health and performance.
Therapeutic modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focussed Therapy; all adapted to disordered eating presentations. Comorbid difficulties such as anxiety, stress etc. are often part of the work and may be factored into treatment should the athlete prefer.
Michael's core value as a Psychologist is creating a safe space so that athletes may feel like they're conversing with a real human who can personally relate and not a therapy robot. He understands the academic theory through his career, and he has the practical experience through his sporting life, including all the setbacks e.g. injury's, performance pressure, body image pressure, selection, coach pressure etc.

Lee Martin - RD, Bsc (Hons), IOC Dip, SENR
Lead Specialist Eating Disorder & Sport Dietitian
Lee is a specialist eating disorder dietitian and sports dietitian with over 15 years of experience in nutrition and a deep understanding of what it takes — physically and mentally — to perform, recover, and thrive.
With dual degrees in Dietetics and Sport & Exercise Science, alongside the International Olympic Committee Diploma in Sports Nutrition and SENR (Sports & Exercise Register) status, Lee brings a rare combination of clinical depth and real-world sports knowledge to his practice.
He has worked with athletes across a wide range of disciplines — from boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and weightlifting to gymnastics, dance, and physique competition — and understands the unique nutritional and psychological pressures that come with each. Too often, the advice and messaging athletes receive around food, body composition, and performance does more harm than good — contributing to disordered eating, damaged relationships with food and body image, and in many cases, full eating disorder diagnoses.
Lee is passionate about changing that narrative, helping athletes pursue their sporting goals through nutrition support that is individualised, health-focused, and balanced — never at the expense of their physical or mental wellbeing.
But Lee's expertise goes far beyond the training ground. With over six years as a specialist eating disorder dietitian in the NHS, he has worked at the sharpest end of clinical care. Lee leads the Medical Emergencies in Eating Disorders (MEED) pathway across West Yorkshire — the highest tier of NHS eating disorder care — where he is the specialist clinical lead for patients admitted with the most severe and medically complex eating disorders across six acute hospital sites and five NHS trusts. In this role, he leads complex clinical decision-making around nutritional rehabilitation, refeeding, nasogastric feeding, and risk management for patients whose physical health has reached a critical level.
He has also worked as the sole dietitian on a specialist inpatient eating disorder ward, provided clinical supervision to fellow specialists, and designed and delivered training programmes for healthcare professionals across the region.
Lee's clinical experience spans anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, RED-S, and the intersection of eating disorders with Type 1 Diabetes — and he brings all of that knowledge, rigour, and compassion into his private work. Whether supporting an individual with a diagnosed or suspected eating disorder, working with an athlete whose relationship with food has begun to suffer, or helping someone — active, injured, or retired — rebuild a healthy and sustainable approach to nutrition, Lee creates a space that is evidence-based, athlete-centred, and above all, human.
Lee also works closely with coaches, teams, teachers, schools, and grassroots sports organisations to deliver training and education around eating disorders, disordered eating, and RED-S. His goal is simple: to make sure that the people shaping the environments around athletes and young people — from the language used in training sessions to the nutrition advice given in academies — are equipped to help them thrive in their sport without unknowingly contributing to harmful relationships with food and body image.
He believes that performance and wellbeing should never be at odds — and that with the right support, they don't have to be.
When he's not in clinic, you'll find Lee in the gym chasing strength goals, on the mats training Brazilian jiu-jitsu or boxing, out on the road in pursuit of a sub-20-minute 5K, or clinging to a climbing wall. Though by far the most physically demanding activity in his life is keeping up with his two girls.
