Nutritional therapy is a clinical, evidence‑informed approach that uses food, lifestyle, and targeted support to influence underlying physiological processes. It considers digestion, metabolism, inflammation, hormones, stress, and sleep as interconnected systems, and uses this understanding to guide personalised recommendations.

Rather than offering broad dietary guidance, nutritional therapy focuses on identifying potential drivers behind your symptoms. This involves a detailed assessment of your relevant medical and lifestyle history, your family history,presenting symptoms, and daily routines including diet and lifestyle, allowing for a structured plan that is specific to your needs and aligned with the latest research.

Most appointments will be online. In‑person appointments may be available depending on location and scheduling.

A brief call allows an understanding of your primary concerns and confirm that nutritional therapy is suitable for you. It also allows me to identify if you need parallel or prior medical input. This protects both yourself and the integrity of my practice. A short call helps me outline, both the structure of my work, what nutritional therapy can and cannot address and how assessment and planning is approached. This in in turn reduces misunderstandings. It also determines whether I am the right practitioner for you.

Before the 1-hour session, you will need to fill in a questionnaire and a short food diary which will provide a clear clinical overview before the session begins, helping me understand your symptoms, history, priorities, and lifestyle patterns. It highlights what needs deeper exploration and reduces the amount of basic fact‑gathering during the clinical session.

A comprehensive review of your medical history, family medical history, presenting symptoms, and current lifestyle 

Assessment of dietary patterns and potential nutrient gaps 

Discussion of physiological mechanisms that may be contributing to your concerns 

Personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan 

Consideration of functional testing or supplementation where clinically appropriateescription

Functional testing may be recommended when it is likely to provide clinically relevant insight. This can include gastrointestinal assessments, hormone panels, or micronutrient evaluations, blood tests. All testing is optional and discussed thoroughly before you decide.

This varies depending on your goals and the complexity of your symptoms. Many clients benefit from structured support over 4-6 weeks. I will contact you after two weeks to check in on your progress and if you have any further concerns then we will have a 4 week catch up (about 30-45 minutes) to establish if you require longer‑term guidance. We will discuss an appropriate plan during your initial session.

Nutritional therapy can support a wide range of areas, including digestive health, energy regulation, hormonal balance, inflammation, and postpartum recovery. It is designed to complement medical care, not replace it, and I encourage clients to remain in contact with their GP or specialist as needed.

Yes. With your consent, I’m happy to communicate with your GP, midwife, or other practitioners to ensure your care is coordinated and consistent.

Supplementation is considered only when there is a clear rationale, such as addressing a suspected deficiency or supporting a specific physiological process. Any recommendations are optional and tailored to your individual needs. A blood test may be required to establish any nutrient deficiencies that require supplementation.

Absolutely. All recommendations are tailored to your dietary needs, medical requirements, and personal preferences. Plans are designed to be safe, practical, and sustainable.

Yes.  This includes recovery, energy, breastfeeding nutrition, and restoring nutrient status following pregnancy.

My approach is structured, evidence‑based, and collaborative. The focus is on improving nutrient intake, supporting physiological function, and building sustainable habits, not restrictive rules.
