Food Therapy and Nutrition Consultations

Evidence based dietetic care that supports nourishment, nervous system regulation and a steadier relationship with food

Single Session or Ongoing Support with Dietitian Rachel

​

Food therapy is a compassionate, evidence based approach to nutrition that recognises food is never just about food. Our eating patterns are shaped by biology, nervous system regulation, life experiences, culture and the messages we absorb about bodies and worth.

​

As a dietitian specialising in disordered eating, fertility and women's health, Rachel works therapeutically with food and the body. Sessions combine nutrition science with a gentle, trauma informed lens to help you understand your needs, restore nourishment and rebuild a steadier relationship with eating.

​

This is not about strict plans, willpower, or fixing yourself. It is about learning to meet your body with knowledge, care, and consistent nourishment so that healing can unfold over time.

Rachel works with individuals, couples, and families to support improved nutrition, healing relationships with food and body, and achieving personal goals in a way that feels sustainable and nurturing.
 

She combines her clinical dietetic expertise with a deep understanding of neuroscience and psychological theory to offer a whole-systems approach. Rather than simply addressing symptoms or surface-level behaviours, Rachel gently explores the underlying patterns with care and compassion, creating space for lasting change.
 

At the heart of her work is the belief that everyone deserves to feel nourished, energised, and free from anxiety around eating.

​

Rachel is HCPC registered, and her services are approved by most health insurance providers. If you are a sole trader or business owner in the wellness, therapeutic, or fitness space, sessions may also be claimable as business expenses.

The Problem: Misinformation Is Everywhere

​​

With so much conflicting advice online and input from unqualified practitioners, it can be hard to know who to trust. That’s why Rachel and her colleagues offer something different.

​

As a team of highly specialised nutrition and therapeutic professionals ([meet us here]), they are fully regulated by professional bodies and committed to using the latest, evidence-based research, backed by decades of experience in the fields of nutrition and dietetics. ​

​

Dietitian Rachel works with adults, teenagers, children, and infants, offering care that is tailored, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate. 

​

If deeper emotional or trauma related support is needed, Rachel will refer you to a specialist psychologist or psychotherapist. This collaborative approach ensures you receive the comprehensive care and outcome that you truly deserve. 

At the Dinner Table

The way we eat often mirrors the way we live.


Rachel uses a three-stage model in her food and dietetic therapy to gently guide the healing process:

​

  1. Creating safety, stability, and symptom relief, building a foundation of trust and nourishment.

  2. Deepening into exploration and compassionate self-understanding, uncovering the patterns and beliefs that shape your relationship with food and body.

  3. Integration and reconnection, supporting you to apply what you’ve learned and reconnect to yourself, your body, and the world around you.

This approach allows for meaningful, lasting change,  grounded in safety, self-awareness, and care.

Dietitian Rachel and her team are anti–diet culture, but not strictly anti–“diet.” We're also not pro-diet. Instead, we hold space for nuance, compassion, and individual choice.
 

If you're considering making changes to your physical body such as pursuing fat loss we can explore this gently and thoughtfully, alongside other nutrition or health goals. However, if your current focus is recovery from hypothalamic amenorrhea, disordered eating, or rebuilding your relationship with food, eating, or your body, then pursuing weight or fat loss may need to be paused,  at least for now.

​

We understand that this can feel complex, even uncomfortable. We're here to support you with care, honesty, and flexibility, no matter where you're starting from.

Which type of support is right for you?

 

All services offer compassionate, evidence-based dietetic support. The main difference is how we work together: through live appointments or ongoing written coaching.

 

  • Nutrition Consultations and Food Therapy:

 

Personalised dietetic support through video or audio appointments. Appointments give us space to talk through your experiences, explore what may be affecting your nutrition and decide together what support would be most helpful. Being able to speak and respond to one another in real time can be particularly valuable if you process things better through conversation or want to develop a more trusting relationship with your dietitian.

​

Support is available for general nutrition, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, family and childhood nutrition, gentle weight loss, sports performance, hormonal health, digestive concerns, eating disorders, disordered eating, body image and your relationship with food. Food Therapy brings additional space to explore the emotional, sensory and relational aspects of eating through a compassionate, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming lens.

 

Best suited to: anyone who prefers video or audio conversation, would like an in-depth assessment or benefits from more relational and responsive support.

 

  • Well Fed Coaching

 

Well Fed Coaching offers a more accessible, lower-cost way to receive personalised dietetic support. It is ongoing written nutrition support without the need to attend appointments. You will complete one structured email check-in each week and receive a personalised written response from me. This may include nutrition guidance, reflections, manageable next steps, recipes, resources and supplement recommendations where appropriate. Coaching can support general nutrition, regular eating, gentle weight loss, family nutrition, fertility, hormonal health, sports performance, body image and your relationship with food.

 

Best suited to:people who enjoy reflecting in writing, want consistent guidance and accountability, and feel comfortable implementing changes between weekly check-ins

 

 

Ongoing written coaching shaped specifically around the realities of motherhood. This includes the same weekly check-in and personalised written support as Well Fed Coaching, alongside full access to The Well Fed Mother self-paced course. Support may explore maternal depletion, feeding yourself while caring for others, emotional eating, body image, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, nervous-system regulation and creating nourishing routines that remain possible within family life.

 

Best suited to:mothers who want personalised weekly support alongside a compassionate programme they can move through at their own pace.

We also offer our Food Freedom and Eating Disorder Recovery framework as a 24 step self paced course for you to explore and add on support with Dietitian Rachel if you need.
