One to One Nutrition Services

I offer totally customised nutrition advice and support across a very wide range of medical conditions. I have particular expertise in brain health, mental health, eating disorders including extreme picky eating in young people and adults (sometimes diagnosed as Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder or ARFID), the gut/brain connection and helping people achieve and maintain a healthier weight. As a Dietitian I have the skills and expertise to manage these things in the context of any diet related medical conditions you may have.

I can work with you online or face:face in my Watford consulting room.

Eating disorders

I treat young people of secondary school age and adults and specialise in supporting neurodivergent people who have struggled to find affirming treatment programmes to help them heal their relationship with food. I have professional connections with private GPs, psychiatrists and therapists and can support you to set up an appropriate multidisciplinary circle of care as required.

Programme 1: Early intervention

Suitable for anyone who has recently started struggling with their relationship with food and those who have just received a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, OSFED or bulimia nervosa.

Phase 1: I will evaluate your current food and drink intake, eating routine and physical and mental health risks. We will explore the origins of your eating and body image difficulties, any troubling thoughts you experience and how these impact your behaviours. I will then produce a report and personalised treatment plan. This report will be our roadmap signposting topics we will cover as we work together. You can also use this report as you choose to support discussions with your doctor, psychiatrist or therapist.
Phase 2: Follow up consultations informed by the signposts in your report.

Programme 2: Re-nourish

Right for you if you have a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or OSFED and want to re-nourish their body and heal your relationship with food

We will explore the origins of your eating and body image difficulties, any troubling thoughts you experience and how these impact your behaviours. I will then produce a report and personalised treatment plan. This report will be our roadmap signposting topics we will cover as we work together. The report will highlight other professionals whose support you will need for recovery. I can work collaboratively with NHS and private teams as required.

Programme 3: Flourish

Helpful if you have a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or OSFED and need to work on resilience in your recovery having already reached a point where you are in a safer place with your physical and mental health. People often register for this programme on discharge from inpatient or day care.

This is an evidence based treatment programme for anyone who has Binge Eating Disorder.

Phase 1: I will evaluate your readiness to start the programme and we will consider together whether it is appropriate for you.
Phase 2: The core programme is 6 sessions. Many people ask for additional sessions to go deeper to support their understanding of food and nutrition. Others with neurodivergent traits request extra sessions to support to help them with planning, organising and impulse control.

 

Programme 5: Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

I work with young people of secondary school age and adults with a diagnosis of ARFID or who suspect that they have ARFID. You can find out more about ARFID here https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/about-eating-disorders/types/arfid/

Grumpy Guts

Programme 1: Explore gut health

I designed this programme for young people of secondary school age and adults who would like to explore ways to improve the health of their gut microbiome or who have been diagnosed with constipation.

Phase 1: I will evaluate your intake and symptom diaries and then we will have 1 hour consultation after which I will produce a report and plan.
Phase 2: 2 x 40 minute follow up consultations

Programme 2: Calm your gut

I designed this for secondary school age young people and adults who have had investigations for gut symptoms and as a result have been given a diagnosis of IBS.

Phase 1: I will evaluate pre-consultation your intake and symptoms diaries and questionnaires. We will then have a 1 hour consultation after which I will produce a report and proposed initial treatment plan. The goal is always the best symptom control with the least restriction so that you can get on with your life.
Phase 2: Healing a grumpy gut can require a bit of trial and error as everyone is different. Everyone requires at least one follow up but some people need support to try different changes in order to find what works best for them.
Phase 3: For the longterm everyone needs a diet with as much fibre and plant diversity as possible. After your gut has had time to heal we will look to challenge the restrictions that helped you achieve that healing in order to enhance your long term health.

Find and maintain your healthier weight

Dieting does not work when it involves calorie counting and keeping to strict meal plans. However unlike some of my colleagues I do not describe myself as a “non-diet dietitian.” A diet is just a “way of eating” and we all need to find a way of eating that works for our unique needs. I fully support weight inclusivity and fiercely fight fat phobia. I strongly belive that if you are living in a bigger body your health can be improved without losing weight. However, carrying more weight does increase the risk of developing a number of health conditions and for those who already have diabetes, high blood fats, cardiovascular disease or problems with joints and mobility, losing weight can help.

I will help you learn to listen to your body, understand the different types of hunger and how to respond to them positively. I will support you to eat well for your general health promoting strength, energy and good mental health. All foods can be eaten mindfully in moderation. As you do this it will help you find and maintain YOUR healthier weight.

Phase 1: I will analyse your intake diaries and some questionnaires that you will complete. After this we will have a 1 hour consultation and then I will produce a personalised report and plan with lots of practical tips.
Phase 2: Four, 40-minute follow up sessions where I will help you build a better way of eating, step by step.
Phase 3: Trouble-shooting with loads of practical resources
