Welcome
I'm Eva Eastman, an occupational therapist and qualitative researcher working across NHS eating disorder services and in independent practice. I specialise in supporting neurodivergent individuals, with particular expertise in the intersections between ADHD, autism, mental health and eating disorders.
My work spans clinical practice, research, and training delivery. I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience of neurodivergence to everything I do, with a focus on improving outcomes and quality of life for neurodivergent people across healthcare settings.
At the heart of my approach is a drive to explore overlooked complexities in people's experiences, challenge assumptions, foster curiosity, and contribute to more inclusive, compassionate healthcare through neurodiversity-affirming practices.
Current RESEARCH
I’m leading a research project with the SPIRED research clinic, funded by NIHR ARC KSS, exploring how eating disorder treatment can be adapted to better support adults with ADHD. Working alongside people with lived experience, clinicians, and experts supporting people with ADHD beyond healthcare settings, we’re co-designing practical, evidence-based guidelines and resources to improve real-world care.
