Penelope Henderson

Fussy Eating & Selective Eating Specialist | SOS Trained Feeding Therapist & Registered Children’s Nutritionist (RNutr)

Does This Sound Familiar?

• Your child eats only a small number of foods
• They refuse to try anything new
• Meals feel stressful or turn into battles
• They struggle with certain food textures
• You worry they are not getting the nutrition they need

If this sounds like your family, you are not alone. Feeding support can help.

Many parents feel worried or frustrated when their child refuses foods, struggles with textures, or seems stuck eating the same few meals. I specialise in supporting fussy and selective eaters, helping children feel more comfortable around food so mealtimes become calmer and less of a battle.

About Me
I’m Penelope, a Registered Children’s Nutritionist (RNutr) and SOS trained Feeding Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting families with fussy eating, selective eating and feeding difficulties. (infants, school children & teenagers)

I help children gradually feel safe exploring new foods in a gentle, pressure-free way. My work focuses on reducing mealtime stress, building confidence around food and supporting children to expand the variety of foods they eat.

I support families with:

• Fussy or picky eating
• Selective eating and limited diets
• Sensory food aversions
• Food refusal and mealtime struggles
• Early feeding and weaning challenges

Alongside practical nutrition guidance, I provide realistic strategies that work in everyday family life, helping children develop a more positive relationship with food.

My Approach
I use evidence-based feeding therapy that helps children gradually learn to feel comfortable with new foods through play, exploration and positive experiences.

Rather than pressure or forcing foods, the focus is on helping children build confidence and curiosity around food at their own pace.

What Happens in the First Session
In our first session we will:

• Explore your child’s eating history
• Identify possible reasons behind the feeding difficulties
• Look at sensory responses to foods
• Develop a practical plan to start expanding foods gradually

You will leave with clear strategies you can begin using straight away at home.

Next Step
If you’re feeling stuck with your child’s eating, you don’t have to manage it alone.

I offer a free 15-minute discovery call where we can talk through your child’s eating and discuss whether feeding support would be helpful.

You’re welcome to get in touch to ask questions or arrange a call. Please phone or email me and we can arrange to have a quick chat about your needs.

Testimonials

“My daughter was so fussy before I had a consultation” I am feeling more confident with her eating and just giving her the same as everyone else and she is doing really well. We are all much happier at mealtimes.

“I was worried about my boys energy levels before I met Penelope” After the consultation we agree to not comment on their eating. I think this has made a big difference. At the last Sunday roast he even helped himself to cheesy leeks & cabbage!!! Honestly it’s incredible! He often has a ham & cheese toastie for breakfast which does help his stamina through the day. – We are so happy with all your advice & singing your praises to others.
