About me
At Paula Jones Nutrition, I apply the principles of Functional Medicine to move beyond symptom management. I believe every individual possesses a unique biochemical blueprint; my mission is to identify the systemic drivers of ill health rather than simply addressing the outward presentation of symptoms.
My journey into clinical nutrition began due to my own health compromise. As a former dancer and Pilates instructor, I faced a sudden, chronic health decline in my twenties with no clear medical explanation. This led to years of hospital appointments and ongoing health challenges. I began exploring nutrition to help myself, as it was evident that conventional medicine had no answers.
In 2008, I graduated with Distinction from the UK College of Nutrition and Health (BCNH) and have since dedicated my career to clinical excellence. My experience is rooted in high-level practice and academia:
- Former Clinic Director at Good Health Nutrition (GHN) and specialist practitioner at IBSClinics.
- Clinical Tutor at BCNH, supervising BSc Honours students in their clinical practice.
- Nuffield Health, Nutritional Therapist
Having specialised in gastric health, I now lead my own practice focusing on the root causes of gut dysregulation and hormone health. I bridge the gap between digestive relief and total body wellbeing, with a particular interest in how gut dysfunction intersects with hormonal health and complex systemic complications.
I don’t just address your gut, I don't just focus on your hormones; I work with the person.
About Paula Jones Nutrition
I recognise that every individual has unique nutritional requirements dependent on symptoms and diagnosis. My approach focuses on pinpointing underlying root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. We find the 'why' to facilitate your recovery.
Your Consultations
Consultations are available in 60, 90, or 120-minute blocks, ensuring we have ample time to address your unique requirements without compromise.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals, the complexity of your health concerns, and your level of engagement with the protocol. I generally recommend budgeting for a minimum of three consultations to allow for meaningful progress and sustainable change.
Supplements & Functional Testing
I may recommend a bespoke supplement programme if it’s clear it will benefit your recovery. For those with chronic health challenges, supplements are often a vital bridge back to wellness.
Testing is an extremely effective tool for identifying the "why" behind your health concerns. If I believe testing is necessary, we will discuss the options and benefits in detail during your initial consultation.

Training, qualifications & experience
In 2008 I graduated from BCNH with distinction.
Strongly committed to continuing my professional development, I regularly attend lectures and seminars, keeping up to date with the latest research. I’m a registered member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT), the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) Complementary and Alternative Practitioners.
I thoroughly enjoy working with both adults and children.
Member organisations
The British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy is the professional body for Nutritional Therapists. There are different BANT membership classes, including Full Member, Fellow Member and Student Member. All BANT practitioners must have met the required standards of training, be fully insured and adhere to the BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including massage, aromatherapy and nutrition.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Nutrition topics
info 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.
Fees
Additional information

Each consultation is 1 hour, 90 minutes or 2 hours depending on complexity.
Often with Nutritional Therapy the greatest percentage of work is beyond the actual appointment itself.
My fee includes all work completed outside of each hourly consultation ie personnalised report building/writing & tailored guidelines, potential health concern & medication research, supplement contraindications & tailored programme, diagnositic test recommendations/analysis.

Further information
My personal experience has given insight into life changing health problems and coping with long term chronic ill health. I believe strongly that developing an understanding of health and nutrition can enable people to make informed choices, maximising their health and enabling them to feel back in the driving seat of their own wellbeing.
Eat, Drink and Be Healthy!
