Your Questions, Answered

  • A nutritional therapist works with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and support your health through personalised nutrition and lifestyle advice. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, everything is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and medical history.

  • Your first consultation is a deep dive into your health. We’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, diet, lifestyle, and goals. From there, you’ll receive a personalised plan which may include dietary changes, lifestyle recommendations, and targeted supplements where appropriate.

  • Nutritional therapy can support a wide range of health concerns, including digestive issues like Irritable bowel syndrome, hormonal imbalances such as PCOS, low energy, skin concerns, and allergies including Hay fever. It can also be used to optimise general health and wellbeing. As a naturopathic nutritional therapist, I focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms, rather than simply managing them.

  • This depends on your individual goals and how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms. Some people see improvements within a few weeks, while others benefit from ongoing support over a few months. We’ll discuss a realistic plan during your first session.

  • A nutritional therapist is a practitioner trained in nutritional therapy, typically working with clients on a one-to-one basis in private practice. They create personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans to support health and wellbeing.

    Although the term “nutritional therapy” is not legally regulated, professional bodies such as the Naturopathic Nutrition Association (NNA) and the General Naturopathic Council (GNC) help maintain high standards. Members are required to follow strict codes of practice and complete ongoing continuing professional development (CPD).
    I am fully registered with both organisations.

    A nutritionist is a broader term used by anyone who considers themselves knowledgeable about nutrition. Because it isn’t legally regulated, qualifications and levels of expertise can vary widely, and not all nutritionists are registered with a professional body.

    A dietician is a regulated healthcare professional who holds a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Dieticians are qualified to work in clinical settings and are often found working within the NHS.

  • Not always. Food and lifestyle are the foundation of your plan. Supplements may be recommended where appropriate, but only if they are truly needed and beneficial for you.

  • Everyone is different, but many people start to notice small changes within a few weeks. More complex or long-standing issues can take longer, but I’ll track progress and adjust your plan as needed.

  • Yes, but it’s important that any changes are made safely. Nutritional therapy works alongside your current care, and I will always take your medication into account when making recommendations.
