About me

I am a Dietitian with over 30 years experience who believes that eating well is the cornerstone of being and staying healthy whatever your age. As a busy working mum I appreciate the challenges modern living brings and offer individual, evidence based, tailor-made advice to fit your health needs and lifestyle. Changing your diet can improve your energy levels, health, wellbeing and treatment response.

Working in the media and as a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association I regularly appear in newspapers, magazines, TV and radio commenting on a wide variety of  nutrition topics and health stories. I have worked on The Food Hospital (C4), Britain's Favourite Supermarket Foods (BBC1), all the national news channels, The One Show and Country File.

I can provide:

  • Confidential & private consultations
  • Detailed analysis of your diet (your eating pattern and food and drink consumed) and nutrient intake
  • Individual, tailor-made action plan for you and your lifestyle
  • Education, help, advice, practical tips, menus and meal plans

in the following areas:

  • Healthy eating advice
  • Diet review
  • Weight management
  • Heart health/cholesterol/high blood pressure
  • Food Intolerances
  • Special Diets including Coeliac Disease, diabetes
  • Digestive problems including indigestions, IBS, IBD,
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Family: Meals, lifestyle,
  • Food labels, supermarket tour, eating out
  • Pregnancy
  • Children: Weaning, Fussy Eating,
  • Anaemia
  • Bone health/ Osteoporosis

If you have other dietary issues not listed here, please contact Sian to discuss.

Before the first consultation, I will provide a health questionnaire and food diary for you to complete prior to your appointment.

An initial consultation typically lasts 60 minutes, and in this time I will ask detailed questions about your current and past health, lifestyle, weight, diet and any food related problems. From this and the information provided in advance, I will evaluate your individual needs, give advice and develop a personalised, safe and effective nutrition and lifestyle programme which is right for you with realistic and achievable goals.

Follow up consultations are generally after four weeks in order to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. Follow-up sessions usually last for 30 minutes. A phone or online follow up is possible too. One follow up is the norm but further follow-ups may be required depending on each individual situation.

Nutrition topics

Information about health conditions (*)

Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.

When I work

I am very flexible with appointment times and can arrange them for day time or evenings, weekdays and Saturday mornings. it is also possible to see clients in London.

Further information

I regularly write for various publications including national newspapers, am interviewed on the radio and am involved in  various TV programmes.

I consult for the food industry and current clients include California Walnuts, Merchant Gourmet, The Weetabix Food Company(nutrition resource across the business). When I am commenting  or involved in this capacity it is clearly flagged and in the public domain. If approached by the media or any other body on a related topic I disclose any conflict of interest.

Across all my work I work under the HCPC dietitians code of professional conduct, which ensures I act 'safely, responsibly and legally' and don’t ‘convey any information that is false, fraudulent, deceptive or untrue’.
