What are Appointments Like?

Adults

All appointments are unique to the individual client, but in general, the first appointment will be a time for me to assess you nutritional needs, your lifestyle and your goals. I encourage questions and queries through out all sessions. I encourage clients to (politely) disagree with me and to put their thoughts and theories to me at all times.

I usually give challenges and homework at the end of every session to support clients to make realistic changes.

Occasionally I will work with the client to make a meal plan – but only if I deem it to be clinically necessary.

I only weigh clients in exceptional circumstances

Confidentiality

All sessions are treated with upmost confidentiality. However, I request for all clients to agree to “confidentiality within your team”, so I am able to communicate with the therapist and communicate medical issues to GPs.

If you have any questions or concerns before you book your appointment, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Teenagers (14-19)

The work I do with teenagers looks a bit different to the work I do with adults. In general, (although this depends on the teen, her circumstances and the family dynamic), I will see the teen for about 30-40 minutes and then have a bit of a catch up with the parent or guardian at the end of the session. In these end-of-session-parent chats, we will talk about the homework given and any struggles the client and I agree we may need parental help with.

I encourage questions and queries through out all sessions. I encourage clients to (politely) disagree with me and to put their thoughts and theories to me at all times.

Occasionally I will work with the client to make a meal plan – but only if I deem it to be clinically necessary.

I only weigh clients in exceptional circumstances. In many circumstances I would ask the GP to monitor weight.

The assessment session can last between 50 - 90 minutes. All other sessions will last 50 minutes.

All initial appointments need to be paid in advance by bank transfer. Once you have made your booking, I will send an invoice.

All other appointments can be paid by card on the day of the session.

There is a 24 hour cancellation policy for all appointments. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at the full price. I will invoice you. The missed session, needs to be paid for before the next session. If a session is cancelled before 24 hours, then no charge is made.
