About me
Have you tried numerous diets but you're not getting anywhere? Are you confused about how to eat and which diet is best for you? Are you feeling a bit fed up, overwhelmed or stressed out? Are you looking for someone supportive, empathetic yet knowledgeable? I'm here to help and support you. I don't give out strict meal plans and leave you to it. We work together from where you are today and build on it. My aim is to empower you to make changes that help you feel good as quickly as possible. I provide the support encouragement, understanding and advice but no judgement. Please feel free to book a free call so you can tell me more and I can explain how I might help you.
This is me outside my clinic in Cheltenham. I specialise in supporting gut and digestive health and stress. I have lived experience of both issues so I can understand and empathise with the difficulties you may be experiencing. I provide bespoke nutrition and lifestyle advice and coaching tailored to your unique needs. I offer a combination of approaches to support you in meeting and sustaining your goal. I also practise hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy can be an effective support for digestive health, stress, weight loss, and other issues, alongside nutritional therapy or on its own. It can also help with unhelpful habits or any overwhelm you might be feeling. I currently offer my nutrition clients a free taster of a hypnotherapy session. Please visit my website for more.
To book, please get in touch to arrange a call first to make sure I’m the best person to support you. Then we simply find a date and time, I’ll email you the paperwork which you return to me completed. And we meet in person or online to begin your journey to good health.
More about me
I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist (mCNHC,mBANT), Health Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in gut health and stress. I have an MSc (Distinction) from University of Worcester and I practise online and in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. I am a member of BANT (http://bant.org.uk/), the professional body for Nutritional Therapists and CNHC (https://www.cnhc.org.uk/), a regulatory body for practitioners, established by the government. And I'm registered with the GHR for hypnotherapy.
I use the latest scientific research, good clinical practice and I practise from an evidence base. I take a Functional Medicine approach which means I aim to support the root of a problem holistically. Holistically means that we look at supporting the body as a whole rather than focusing on one symptom. This is why I also offer hypnotherapy which can be effective at supporting the nervous system, habit changes and more. The aim with nutritional therapy is to address any nutritional or metabolic imbalances to help you achieve optimum health. To do this, I use a range of tools including, in some cases, functional testing (see below.)
Consultations take place in person in my clinic in Cheltenham or online via Zoom. I provide a non-judgemental, supportive environment and have a calm, empathetic manner. I can support you with the difficulties of making diet and lifestyle changes and any changes can be carried out at a pace that suits you and with the level of support that suits your needs.
The number of consultations required depends on the complexity of your case and your health goals and also relies on you making some diet and lifestyle changes. Telephone and email support can also be provided. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation so if you have any questions or you are ready to make a change, please get in touch to see how Nutritional Therapy and or Hypnotherapy can support your health goal.
If you would like to improve your digestive symptoms, increase your energy, improve your general health, would like support with a specific health condition or for further information, please get in touch via email: kate@katedimmer.com or phone me on 07714340345 and I shall call you back. When you are ready to make a change, I look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials
“I highly recommend Kate Dimmer as a nutritional therapist. I've battled with insomnia for last 3 years but have followed her hormone balancing nutrition advice, with acupuncture and I seem to be cured! Three weeks without Nytol. Never underestimate the benefits of sleeping well!” Nicola
"I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate if you require a nutritionist. She is passionate about what she does and this comes across in the advice she gives. She is very knowledgeable on her subject and explains the science clearly in layman’s terms so as not to confuse. She is genuine in her ambition to help people improve their health through their diets." Lucy

I already have complete faith in Kate and am feeling so positive about the future." Victoria
"Kate offered me friendly, thorough and sensible advice with lots of common sense but also lots of expertise too. She offered me lots of choices within what might be useful to me, making me feel in control of what I was doing and keep it right for me. The most important thing is that her advice worked. I would definitely recommend and use Kate again." Julie
“I enjoyed my sessions with Kate and with the benefit of her well researched and tailored counsel feel able (at last) to take nutritional control of my diet. She brought new meaning to a suggestion I’ve long ignored to… 'Let your medicine be your food and your food your medicine.'” Peter
“I contacted Kate for advice on stress, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. She listened to all my concerns and dealt calmly with my emotional needs. She offered such helpful advice and it was clear that she was knowledgeable and passionate about dealing with the “ whole person” suggesting herbal remedies, meditation as well as diet and lifestyle choices. Her approach is gentle and non judgmental and I have benefitted so much from our consultations. I would highly recommend her services.” Penny

"Kate has been so helpful guiding me towards better nutrition, learning what foods help or hinder my gut health, migraines, hormones etc. She has also given me excellent guidance regarding my daughter’s health and well-being. I will always turn to Kate when I need any advice for myself and my family. Thank you very much Kate." Jane
"I contacted Kate as I have always had digestive issues on and off for years now and recently since turning 40 my skin has been really red, blotchy and sore so I knew something had to change. Kate gave me lots of advice and a list of foods and supplements that would help me, its early days but my digestive issues have improved straight away and my skin is so much better. Thank you Kate!" Laura

I can confidently say that I have never felt so good and that I truly understand my body." Izzy
"I visited Kate to get help for excess fatigue due to an underlying health issue. She was very friendly and listened to my concerns. She suggested simple but very effective changes to lifestyle and diet, which were easy to implement, plus use of some well researched supplements. These changes have transformed my quality of life. I have learned to listen to my body and adapt accordingly and now have much more energy and focus. I feel much more positive about my future health. My son has recently been diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and will be visiting Kate for advice as soon as ‘Lockdown’ eases. Thank you Kate." Jo

She has a great knowledge and approach to helping towards your nutrition goals. I find Kate very motivational and she has helped me change my relationship with food whilst improving my symptoms." Kate
'Kate is someone I would highly recommend if you are looking for a professional Nutritionist. I have always found Kate to be very caring and empathetic. Initially she put together a comprehensive plan and suggested ways in which I could improve my digestive issues. Having followed Kate's advice, I am now feeling much improved. Kate is excellent at follow-up, always there to guide, and very swift to respond. Highly recommended!' Jill
"I approached Kate a while after having my second child. Primarily it was for weight loss however being a yo-yo dieter since I was 15 - this time I wanted a different approach. I wanted to lose weight, nourish my body with healthy foods while not having the frustrations of restrictions that many ‘diets’ end up having. I wanted to adopt a positive attitude towards food especially for my children to grow up with. My journey with Kate has been so positive, she is extremely knowledgeable and I never felt judged in anyway, which I have in the past. Her sensible approach to eating has enabled me for the first time to make the right food choices while still enjoying the treats, without guilt for the first time in my life - so refreshing. One of the best aspects of working with Kate has been the health benefits. My aches and pains have reduced, I have been able to control my anxiety and I have more energy. Her recipes have become a firm favourite in our house enjoyed by all of us, including a fussy toddler. I would highly recommend Kate and her services - best call I made." Gemma
"Kate’s professional yet friendly approach to my concerns over my weight & health has been amazing. The information she has given and awareness she has created in me will remain for good. Kate is very caring and easy to talk to with great knowledge in her area. She makes it easy to follow. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling with their weight and want to have a life time approach to losing weight rather than quick fixes. Best wishes." Bercis
