SERVICES

I offer one-to-one nutritional therapy consultations, primarily with people in midlife and beyond

This page explains how nutritional therapy consultations work, what you can expect at each stage, and the options available to you.

What you receive

I provide a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to help you make practical, sustainable changes to support your health. Your plan is based on your health history, health concerns, diet, lifestyle, goals and dietary preferences. It includes a summary of our discussion and a number of agreed action points to help you move forward. You will receive your plan within two working days of your consultation.

Recommendations may include changes to the food you eat, lifestyle advice, and where appropriate, supplements or laboratory testing. The emphasis is on real food, minimally processed ingredients and simple, practical meals that fit your lifestyle and cooking skills. I can also provide meal ideas, recipes and sample meal plans to help you integrate recommendations into everyday life.

Costs to consider

Consultation fees and package prices are outlined on the Fees page.

Where supplements or laboratory testing are recommended, these are entirely optional and are not included in consultation fees. This allows you to decide what feels right for your needs and circumstances.

I aim to make recommendations that are practical, evidence-informed and cost-conscious. Where appropriate, I will consider any relevant NHS or GP test results before recommending private laboratory testing. If supplements are recommended, you will also receive a 10% discount on supplement orders.

Consultations

Consultations are available in person at my Forest Row clinic (near East Grinstead, Sussex), or via Zoom or telephone. The consultation process is outlined below:

Free 15-minute assessment

I offer a free 15-minute phone assessment to discuss whether nutritional therapy could help you. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss your health concerns, what you would like to achieve, and whether this approach is right for your needs.

Before the consultation

You will be asked to complete and return an in-depth health questionnaire and food diary before your initial consultation.
This information gives me a broad overview of your health history, health concerns, symptoms, dietary patterns and lifestyle. It also allows me to analyse the information provided beforehand, ensuring that we can make the best use of your consultation time.
A date for the initial consultation is arranged once your questionnaire has been returned.

Initial consultation

Building on the information you have provided in your health questionnaire and food diary, we spend time exploring your health history, current health picture and what you would like to achieve.
I explain the factors that may be contributing to your health concerns and work with you to develop a targeted and personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan.

Follow-up consultations

Follow-up consultations are generally every 4–6 weeks to monitor progress, discuss any difficulties you are experiencing, answer ongoing questions, review the results of any laboratory testing, and adjust your plan as needed. They allow us to build on the changes you’ve made and decide on next steps.

How many consultations?

In general, I recommend at least one follow-up consultation to review progress and make any necessary adjustments. However, everyone is different and the number of consultations you need will depend on your individual circumstances and goals.

Some people may only need an initial consultation, particularly if they are looking for guidance on a specific issue, support with a particular health goal, or advice on maintaining good health.

If you have a long-term or more complex health concern, it may not be possible to address everything in one session. Where health concerns have developed over a longer period, addressing the factors involved may also take time, so further consultations may be needed.

You can book individual follow-up consultations as you need them, or choose a package if you would like a number of consultations at a reduced cost.

Support between consultations

I am available for up to one week following consultations to answer brief questions relating to your current nutrition and lifestyle Plan. This includes one 15-minute phone call.
This support is intended to clarify recommendations and help you get started with your plan. If you require further advice, a review of your progress, or support with new concerns, a further consultation will be needed.

Unsure which option is right for you?

If unsure, the free 15-minute assessment is the best place to start.
