The Team
Daniel Mansaray
Specialist Mental Health Physiotherapist
Dialectical Behavioural Therapist

As a dual Physiotherapist and Dialectical Behavioural Therapist I combine physical and psychological approaches to provide holistic and individualised treatment. I specialise in helping people with/without an eating disorder rebuild healthy and meaningful relationships with exercise.
As a therapist I use a non-judgemental, and compassionate approach. I take into consideration all the different biological, psychological, and social factors that might be impacting you. In the process of our therapy together we will start exploring the development + maintaining factors of your eating disorder/disordered eating and how your relationship with exercise relates to this. Once we have a good understanding of these factors, we work towards you finding freedom from your eating disorder alongside rebuilding a healthy relationship with exercise. Our sessions will be goal orientated to help keep you motivated through recovery and to give you a clear vision of what you’re working towards.
Treatment approaches used:
-Physiotherapy
-Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
-Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E)
-DBT Prolonged Exposure Therapy
Professional background:
I am a HCPC registered specialist mental health physiotherapist and dialectical behavioural therapist. I initially qualified as a physiotherapist working across professional sport settings (boxing/women’s football), specialist paediatric settings and within psychiatric hospitals. I also set up a physiotherapy service within an inpatient eating/personality disorder service leading to a specialisation in mental health physiotherapy.
Further to qualifying as a physiotherapist I completed a postgraduate qualification in a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Kings College London. I have also trained in intensive Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and DBT Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD with ‘British Isles DBT’.
Outside of training I have lectured at the University of Brighton on the role of physiotherapy within early intervention mental health services.
Alongside EDEC I work as a DBT Therapist in an eating disorder day-care service. Prior to this I have worked as a psychological therapist in a range of different settings including the ‘child and adolescent mental health service’ (CAMHS), community mental health services, and inpatient eating/personality disorder services. In addition to clinical work, I have previously managed a combined physiotherapy and occupational therapy team in a specialist eating disorder and personality disorder service.
Qualifications:
BSc Dietetics
MSc Applied Sports Nutrition
I provide a compassionate and holistic approach combining my speciality in sports nutrition and eating disorders. I use this approach to support people in their recovery from eating disorders, disordered eating, and aid in rebuilding a healthy relationship with food, exercise and themselves.
There is a misconception that dietitians only talk about food and provide meal plans, but I am aware that eating disorders and disordered eating behaviours are rarely solely about food and require support with behaviour change. I provide an evidence-based approach to nutrition and eating disorder treatment; always explaining the rationale of approaches and practices that I use with clients, and educating my clients where possible, so that they can have the power to navigate through the misinformation on nutrition that circulates around our society and re-build trust in their food choices.
I support individuals with eating disorders as well as recreational and high level athletes who may be struggling with the performance and physical pressures associated with their sports. I am a firm believer that improving performance doesn’t have to compromise health or damage relationships with food, and I am so passionate about changing the perception of ‘health and fitness’- leanness and aesthetics do not determine health or performance!
Professional Background:
Working as the sole dietitian in an inpatient eating disorder unit, I have supported many acutely ill patients in their recovery from eating disorders. This has given me experience in managing the clinical risks associated with eating disorders among a multidisciplinary team. I provided nutrition education groups as well as one to one sessions with clients where we explored food rules, fear foods and normative eating. I have also worked within private outpatient settings supporting individuals with disordered eating and eating disorders.
I have also worked with recreational and high-level athletes to improve their performance and relationship with food.
