Book a Discovery Call

Not sure where to start? Book a free 15-minute Discovery Call — a short, no-obligation conversation to talk through what's brought you here and find out whether working together is the right next step.

This isn't a consultation, and we won't be reviewing your diet or symptoms in detail — that's what your first full appointment is for. It's simply a chance for us to meet, for you to ask questions, and for both of us to be confident we're a good fit before you commit to booking in.

If you've been referred by your GP, consultant, or recommended by a previous patient, you're welcome to skip this step and book your first appointment directly.

You’re in the right place if…

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Persistent bloating, pain, or unpredictable gut symptoms
  • Struggling with your relationship with food or your weight
  • Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice online
  • Managing a long-term condition such as diabetes, coeliac, or heart disease
  • Sensory sensitivities or neurodivergent eating challenges (ADHD, autism, ARFID)
  • Hormonal changes affecting your energy, weight, or appetite
  • Recovering from illness and needing nutritional rehabilitation
  • Simply wanting expert, evidence-based guidance — not generic meal plans

Why choose a dietitian?

Dietitian vs. Nutritionist

In the UK, the title “nutritionist” is completely unprotected — anyone can use it, regardless of training. A dietitian is different. Only professionals registered with the HCPC can legally call themselves a dietitian.

“Only HCPC-registered dietitians are legally protected healthcare professionals.”

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

Digestive Health

I was seen quickly, and Ghislaine was both personable & well-informed with the latest studies in her field. After seeing various doctors about my digestive issues over the past few years, I finally feel heard rather than dismissed. I feel both grateful & confident that I'm in great hands as her patient.

Gut Health & FODMAP

The dietitian was very thorough, explained everything to me and made a specific recommendation. It was a lot better than I thought as I did not realize dietitians could have such a focus and knowledge of the gut microbiome and probiotics. I thought they were more about simply talking about diet. It's also great that she was very knowledgeable about FODMAP.

Verified Patient

Neurodiversity & ADHD

The dietician was understanding, not patronising and able to give special tips for me that were tailored to being neurodivergent (ADHD).
