Personalised Nutrition Without Restriction, Shame or Fads
tailored support for you, from a Registered Nutritionist.
My work is person centered and neurodiversity-affirming.
I support all adults and teens. I embrace your individuality and differences, whether you have diagnoses or not. Self diagnosis is absolutely valid and I am here to learn from you too - it is not my role to tell you what to think or feel, or what to do. Instead I will sit beside you in partnership, and we work together to reach your goals.
My approach is based on your unique needs; we go at your pace and your safety is core to everything we explore. I work exclusively online, offering video and telephone appointments with message support.
You do not have to feel at your lowest point to qualify for help.
If you’re feeling confused or stuck, unable to eat in ways others expect you to, the way you want / need to for your own health, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Considering professional support from someone who understands your challenges could change everything. With the right help, accommodations and adaptations (that you are entitled to) eating can feel easier and underpin your happiness, health and wellbeing.
If you’re feeling floored by hormonal changes, I will help you understand what’s going on and find a way through with an individualised approach.
If you find your sensory preferences with food hard to explain and struggle to feel understood, I will teach you how to meet you needs that affirm your brain and body.
If you're seeking assistance in shedding harmful beliefs about food and to navigate through the maze of unsolicited advice coming from all directions, it’s time to advocate for yourself . It’s time to seek help from a qualified nutritionist with a lifetime of eating and nutrition experience.
Ways I can support you
I offer one-to-one nutrition support that’s practical, personalised and grounded in real life. No shame. No rigid rules. Just evidence-based guidance shaped around you, your nervous system and your goals.
You can work with me pay-as-you-go, book a block of four sessions for continuity, or choose a 12-week support package for deeper, structured change.
If you’re looking for specialist support around ARFID, you can visit the dedicated page to learn more about my bespoke care options.
I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee appointments for clients in education, unemployed or experiencing financial hardship. If you need this option, please check the relevant box on the discovery call booking form.

Ideal for those who don’t feel ready to commit to ongoing sessions
In this one hour together, we will work through one to three challenges you are finding most difficult at the moment; making sense of your experiences, unpacking any obstacles and putting steps in place to help you move forward. I'll provide any tools and resources to help you.
-
If you feel that you need some level of ongoing support, but don’t feel ready to commit to a longer term plan, a block of 4 is ideal for you.
Investing in 4 sessions can feel less daunting, helping you build trust and confidence in our work. Many of my clients say helps improve self esteem and positivity.
When booking a block of 4 you also get ongoing support from me via email and messaging following each sessions (up to 4 weeks worth of support)
-
My 12-session support package is ideal if you’re feeling stuck and can’t face another cycle of restriction, self-criticism or sacrificing your happiness for a number on the scale or other people’s expectations. If you need help letting go of unhelpful beliefs about food, all-consuming thoughts about eating or your body, or are fed up of trying to do this on your own, this is for you.
This package offers the best value at £20 less per session than pay-as-you-go, giving you consistent, structured support over 12+ weeks.
Sessions are flexible - they don’t need to be weekly.
You’ll receive a welcome pack, self-reflection worksheets and educational guides, plus ongoing support from me via email and messaging in-between sessions throughout the length of your package.
Payment plans are also available to spread the cost..
-
If you feel something in between 4 and 12 sessions would suit you better, I am happy to create a package of 6 or 8 sessions.
You’ll still receive a welcome pack, self-reflection worksheets and educational guides, and have ongoing email and message support too.
A Block of 6 is £720
A Block of 8 is £960
Please ask about installments by clicking the Contact button on the homepage.
During our time together, I’ll provide tailored advice and support to help you understand your diverse needs and navigate the challenges you face in a very judgy, food and body obsessed world. I offer a supportive and inclusive space in all my sessions, and when you book my 12-week 1:1 support package or a smaller block of 4 sessions, you will also receive ongoing support via WhatsApp or email in between sessions. This means I am by your side to help in real time, especially through the scary and messy days. I will also provide any tools and resources you need, answer all your questions and of course, celebrate your wins.
As someone with lived experience, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, combining professional knowledge with personal insights.
Once we’ve met and chatted during your free 30 minute consult, I’ll be able to advise which of my services would best suit your needs and the costs involved (there’ll be no pressure to make a decision or sign up on the spot).
If we can’t find a standard service that meets your needs, we can always discuss more creative ways to move forward, that fits your budget - I believe support should be made accessible to all.

“Mel is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom which she is happy to share with anyone who is ready to listen. She presents it with humour whilst at the core of her material, there is a strong evidence base from both the literature along with her personal and professional experience and journey over many years..”

“I am so relieved to be on a steady, peaceful path that does not involve food restriction but does include eating – and enjoying – a wide range of foods that satisfy; regular, enjoyable exercise; regular “checking in” with my feelings and just enjoying life and myself much more. I would urge anyone with similar issues to take that first step and have a chat with Mel.”
Jill

“I went from eating 10 basic ingredients in my meals to a much great variety of food thanks to Mel who helped me to understand my body better and overcome my fears.”

I use the term non-diet because it helps identify me as someone prepared to focus on helping my clients improve their overall physical, mental and emotional health rather than making weight loss the primary outcome. A non-diet approach respects body diversity and holds the client as the expert in their lived experience. Non-diet is often used interchangeably with anti-diet but personally, I’m not keen on the anti bit. It feels a bit angsty and I also don’t want to imply that if you’ve dieted, you made a wrong choice or are a bad person - this is absolutely NOT the case.

It is not my role to tell you not to want weight loss. For so many reasons, the desire to lose weight can be deeply ingrained and there is no switch to flip, to remove that desire. What I can do however is meet you where you are.
We can certainly work on improving health and any behaviours that concern you. Whilst I don’t think it’s ethical for me to focus purely on client weight loss, it is ok that you are having these feelings and I do understand the impact diet culture has on all of us. If you feel ready, I can invite you to allow me to support you further to explore and understand your feelings about your body.

No, you don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. I believe we know more about our own bodies and minds than anyone else, and I trust that you wouldn’t be coming to me for support if you didn’t need to. This in itself makes self-diagnosis valid and reliable and of course, how difficult is it to access diagnostic assessments. Everyone is welcome to work with me.

I would love to work with insurance companies, but this is not feasible for me at the moment. However, I do offer a limited number of appointments with reduced fees for clients in education or experiencing financial hardship. If you would like to know more, please contact me here.
