I’m a nutritional therapist specialising in chronic and complex illness, with over 15 years of experience spanning clinical practice, higher education and nutrition research.

I qualified in 2008 with a Diploma in Nutritional Therapy (BCNH). This training focused on the practical realities of working with people: listening carefully, personalising recommendations, and adapting nutrition and lifestyle approaches to fit individual circumstances, particularly in the context of long-term and complex health conditions.

I later completed an MSc in Nutritional Medicine (University of Surrey). This academic training strengthened my ability to critically appraise nutrition and medical research, assess emerging evidence, and identify what is genuinely useful in clinical practice. It continues to underpin my work with clients who present with multi-system, overlapping or treatment-resistant issues.

Alongside my clinical work, I have extensive experience teaching nutrition, public health and community health development. I began working in Children’s Centres and progressed to lecturing on undergraduate and postgraduate level Nutrition and Public Health degrees. My undergraduate and postgraduate lecturing was based on the functional medicine model, with an emphasis on systems thinking, root-cause analysis and personalised intervention, rather than symptom-led care. Teaching and lecturing has played an important role in shaping my clinical approach and keeping my work grounded in both evidence and clear communication.

Clinically, I have worked for two of the UK’s largest nutrition clinics, the London Clinic of Nutrition and the Optimum Health Clinic. This period provided a demanding, high-volume clinical environment and functioned as an advanced form of clinical training. I developed particular expertise in working with chronic, complex and overlapping presentations. I remain very grateful for the depth of experience this work provided. I now work independently in private practice.

My approach to health and nutrition is guided by a simple principle: what is the least amount of change we can make for the maximum result?

For some people, progress comes from a small number of targeted, strategic adjustments. For others, more comprehensive support is needed. In all cases, the goal is the same: to help you reach a point where your health no longer dominates your attention, but strongly supports everything else you want to achieve in life.
