Nutritional therapy is 'the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care'. We use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to your symptoms and health concerns. This can be invaluable in supporting you towards a specific goal, managing a chronic health condition - alongside medicinal support - or helping you to make healthy habits that last a lifetime.

I am registered with the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) therefore I follow their code of conduct. Please click the links to find out more.

Registered Nutritional Therapists

Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Registered Nutritional Therapists use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional balance and help support the body towards maintaining health. Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Registered Nutritional Therapists consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Registered Nutritional Therapists never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided.

Dietitians

Dietitians work principally in the National Health Service and are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council. Their professional body is the British Dietetic Association. A dietitian uses the science of nutrition to devise eating plans for patients to treat medical conditions. They also work to promote good health by helping to facilitate a positive change in food choices amongst individuals, groups and communities.

NB. Only Dietitians and Registered Nutritional Therapists are trained in clinical practice to give one-on-one personal health advice. Both groups must practise with full professional indemnity insurance.

I support a wide range of health issues including weight management, digestive issues, supporting female health, managing energy and stress, and promoting healthy ageing. If you are unsure send me a message and we can see if I can help you.

I don't provide meal plans, we will work together to help you change your diet to make it healthier but sustainable and not restrictive.  My recommendations reflect realistic and achievable dietary and lifestyle changes you can make to create a personal plan based entirely on you and your needs.

No, I don't want you to give up the food you love (unless completely necessary). You may need to reduce certain foods that don't support your health goals, but any of these changes will be discussed and agreed upon with you in the consultations.
