About me
Hi! I'm a registered dietitian based in the North of England offering online support to anyone on a 1:1 basis. Over the past 11 years I have worked in the NHS and private sectors to help support hundreds of individuals to optimise their health, achieve a healthy weight loss and improve their diabetes control and also supported individuals with high cholesterol levels, PCOS and IBS.
The advice I provide is based on evidence you can trust! It's all personalised taking into account your life and everything else that goes on whilst you're trying to work on your health goals.
Why ask for help? If you are feeling frustrated and hopeless and just not feeling your normal self all because your health is becoming worse OR you are struggling to manage your diabetes/PCOS/weight then asking for help is very important. When you feel like you've given up and feel that no one can tell you anything different or teach you anything different to improve that one thing that is bugging you, then know that with support you can begin to feel better again, feel more confident and improve your long term health.
What can I offer? Support with weight management, Type 2 diabetes PCOS, mindful eating, IBS, high cholesterol levels and disordered eating. With my support, you can regain the skills that may have been lost along the way with healthy eating. I can teach you how to re-focus and help you to understand what's happening to your weight and health. I can help to customise a healthy roadmap for you and give you the knowledge and insights necessary to create a healthier future if that is what you are looking for.
Common causes for weight gain: Our health often declines more often than not a result of life events such as illness’s, family commitments or a change in job and forgetting to practice self care. I would like you to know that I will always take a non-judgmental, compassionate, and relaxed approach to helping anyone in need.

Further information
The initial consultation is to help you identify whether I can support you in achieving your personal health and weight management goals and for me to identify if I have the appropriate skills and expertise to support you long term. Once we agree that we both want to work together, we will outline a plan to include the number of sessions that may required which could run either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Each session lasting up to 60 minutes.
We can finalise any further agreements if we continue to work together. Please note that I am in continuous NHS work, receive ongoing supervision and undertake regular professional development to stay up to date with the latest information in the field of weight management. I adhere to the HCPC and BDA all of which I would be pleased to share with you and discuss.
