Nutritional Therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health and peak performance. 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.

A Nutritional Therapist uses the science of nutrition to alleviate health symptoms and to promote optimum health. Nutritional Therapists work independently in private practice. Their professional body is the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT). Nutritional Therapists work with many common health issues and often work with patients, many of whom have been referred by medical practitioners, presenting with chronic health problems that conventional medicine finds difficult to treat. These include allergies, digestive and bowel disorders, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, depression or stress, auto-immune conditions, migraine and skin disorders.

A dietician uses the science of nutrition to devise eating plans for patients with various medical conditions. Dieticians work principally in the National Health Service and are regulated by the Health Professions Council. Their professional body is the British Dietetic Association. They may also specialise in the field of artificial nutrition support, work in the medical nutrition industry or in private practice.

I accept cash or cheque. Alternatively, you may pay by bank transfer in advance of your consultation.

The number of consultations required depends on each client’s individual health issues. My aim is to achieve long-term results as quickly as possible. Some clients require just one consultation. However, on average clients require two to three consultations over a three-month period.

Depending on where you live, home visits can be arranged. However, there may be an additional fee to cover travel expenses.

I always prioritise food over supplements. However, if this is not possible, or if results can be achieved faster, I may recommend supplements.

Often, I can identify factors that are contributing to my clients’ symptoms by taking a detailed case history. However, in some circumstances testing may be recommended in order to develop a more targeted protocol.

I know that unexpected things happen, and that sometimes appointments need to be cancelled and rescheduled. However, I ask that you give me 48 hours’ notice. Should you cancel or reschedule within 48 hours, the full fee will be payable.
