Everything you might want to know about nutritional therapy, getting started and what it's like to work together.
Nutritional Therapy is a personalised, evidence-informed approach that uses nutrition and lifestyle factors to support health and wellbeing. Rather than looking at a single symptom in isolation, it considers how different aspects of health may be connected, including diet, digestion, sleep, stress, movement, environment and medical history.
Everyone is unique, so recommendations are tailored to the individual rather than based on a one-size-fits-all approach. The aim is to identify practical, sustainable changes that support your health and help you work towards your goals.
Nutritional Therapy can be used by people looking to optimise their wellbeing, as well as those experiencing ongoing health concerns who would like support alongside their existing healthcare.
For more information about Nutritional Therapy, please visit the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT).
Nutritional Therapy may be suitable if you are looking for personalised support to improve your health and wellbeing through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Whether you are experiencing a specific health concern or simply want to feel better, Nutritional Therapy takes an individualised approach based on your unique circumstances, goals and health history.
A Getting Started Session is a good opportunity to discuss your needs, ask questions and decide whether my approach feels like the right fit for you.
A Getting Started Session is a 20-minute video call where we can discuss your health concerns, goals and what you are hoping to achieve. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions, learn more about my approach, and decide whether Nutritional Therapy feels like the right fit for you. It costs £30. If we decide to work together, I can explain the next steps and the support options available.
If you decide to move forward, you can book your consultation through the client portal. You will then receive a health questionnaire, food diary and consent forms to complete.
During your consultation, we will explore your health history, symptoms and goals before creating a personalised plan tailored to your needs. Follow-up sessions are available afterwards to review your progress, provide support and make adjustments where needed.
Nutritional Therapy is grounded in nutritional science and draws upon the latest available research. Recommendations are then tailored to you as we take into account factors such as your health history, lifestyle, preferences and goals.
As a BANT and CNHC registered Nutritional Therapist, I am committed to working within a professional framework that emphasises evidence-informed practice, ongoing professional development and client-centred care.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Nutritional Therapy from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION) and am a registered member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
These registrations require adherence to professional standards, a code of ethics and ongoing continuing professional development (CPD), helping to ensure that clients receive safe, evidence-informed support.
While all three professions focus on nutrition and health, our training and areas of practice differ.
Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals who are qualified to work within the NHS, private practice and other healthcare settings. They often support individuals with diagnosed medical conditions and can provide medical nutrition therapy.
Nutritionists typically focus on nutrition education, public health, research or workplace wellbeing. The title "nutritionist" is not legally protected in the UK, although many qualified practitioners choose to register with professional bodies such as the Association for Nutrition (AfN).
Nutritional Therapists are trained to take a personalised approach, considering factors such as diet, lifestyle, health history and individual goals when making recommendations. Nutritional Therapy is often used alongside conventional healthcare to support overall health and wellbeing.
If you are unsure which type of practitioner is right for you, a Getting Started Session can help determine whether my approach is a good fit for your needs.
Not necessarily. My primary focus is always on food and lifestyle foundations, and recommendations will be tailored to your individual needs and circumstances. Where appropriate, I may recommend supplements or functional testing to help provide additional information or support your health goals. Any recommendations will be discussed with you so that you can make an informed decision. There is never any obligation to purchase supplements or undertake testing.
You're welcome to book a 20-minute Getting Started Session to talk things through and see whether this approach feels like the right fit for you.
