FAQ

Dietitians are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the title 'dietitian' title is protected by law. Dietitians are uniquely qualified by degree to translate scientific information about food into practical dietary advice. Unlike the title 'dietitian', 'nutritional therapist' are not titles protected by law.  

Once you book your appointment, you'll complete a detailed health questionnaire so we understand your nutrition history, current habits, and what's prevented progress in the past. This is sent 2 days before your appointment.

Your first consultation lasts an hour. We'll review your nutrition and lifestyle together, identify what's working, and create a personalised plan tailored to your goals. You'll receive a summary and practical recommendations afterward.

Follow up appointments are 30 to 40 minutes. Most clients book 4 to 8 sessions for deeper work like improving their relationship with food, or 2 sessions for a general review and feedback. We'll discuss what feels right for you.

The cost of the session will depend on the package chosen and the length of sessions. Click here for our packages.

We never want cost to be a barrier to getting the nutrition support you need. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please get in touch confidentially and we will do our best to help. We offer a limited number of reduced-rate appointments each month for people who qualify, including:

• Those receiving Universal Credit, PIP or other benefits
• Students in full-time education
• NHS and care sector workers on lower incomes
• Single parents
• Unemployed individuals actively seeking work
• Elderly patients on a fixed pension

Payment plans are also available for longer programmes. All enquiries are handled with complete discretion and without judgement. Please do not let cost stop you from reaching out. Simply email us at enquiries@mynutritionbalance.com and we will have an honest conversation.

Yes. I am not working with specific health insurers so you would need to check if your insurance covers a HCPC Registered Dietitian working in private practice.
