Talk to a Nutritionist or Dietitian Online

I studied Nutritional Therapy at the University of Westminster where I achieved a Bachelor of Science, Honours degree in Health Science: Nutritional Therapy. The highly regarded, extended semester three year degree course included extensive clinical skills training by specialist Clinic Lecturers observing students' consultations with clients of the University Polyclinic. My Health Science background gives me the sound foundations to research and apply the latest Nutrition Science research in clinical practice. I am passionate about supporting a client's health goals combining Nutrition Science with the Functional Medicine model of assessment to identify a client's unique body system imbalances. Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, this model helps me to identify dietary, lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors that may be contributing to a client's underlying cause of disease. I then work with a client to create diet and lifestyle strategies to support their unique health requirements at a rate that is comfortable for them. I am a very experienced weight management practitioner, having worked with patients in private practice and in the community as part of local authority funded projects. I use a practical and structured approach, including setting regular achievable goals, to support a client's dietary, emotional and physical requirements throughout their weight loss journey. Central to my approach is encouraging clients to adopt new lifestyle habits with a lifetime view towards healthier eating as opposed to quick fix or fad diets.

I am experienced in helping clients with many different health issues, and I work successfully with stress-related conditions, weight management, digestive issues, female hormonal imbalances and many others conditions. I believe that finding balance is the key to optimum health. Often people force themselves to make healthy choices, get obsessed by a fad diet, or make a series of attempts at trying to get healthy, without finding the balance in their lifestyles that they are actually seeking. I'm interested in exploring as many aspects as possible to guide a client to that elusive place of balance. Giving yourself the gift of undivided time to consult with a nutrition and health professional allows you to shed light on your own habits, needs and health goals. I enjoy being able to facilitate and guide each client to a place of better health, vitality and balance. I am fascinated by the profound effect nutrition has on the body. When disease processes and imbalances have set-in, nutritional therapy can set you back on the path to health again by addressing underlying causes, rather than simply treating symptoms.
