Yes. While a client will typically be armed with enough knowledge to continue unassisted at the end of the initial 3-month cycle, you may feel the need for further support. I can provide that in the form of follow-up calls or meetings, emails and messages, charged either on a monthly basis (£199 per month) or as part of a continuation package (£499 for 3 months).

Alternatively, if after continuing unassisted for some time, you feel the need for a one-off consultation, that can be booked at £99, provided it pertains to your original client concerns and recommendations.

For new client concerns warranting a fresh approach with a new set of paperwork, a new 3-month cycle would be required, currently £699.

Please be aware that all prices are subject to change.

In the context of a new client, or a new set of client concerns, a one-off consultation is too limiting to be of much benefit. The process of interview, analysis, recommendations and follow-ups is central to making meaningful change. For that reason, one-off consultations are limited to a scenario in which a previous client feels that they need a further consultation call at some point after our work together has ended. This consultation would pertain to their original client concerns and recommendations, and is charged at £99.

I’m the wrong person to help with a vegan diet.

A fundamental pillar of nutritional therapy, and one which affects a vast array of potential client concerns, is the consumption of a nutrient-dense, whole-foods diet. Veganism, by definition, excludes the most nutrient-dense foods available to us as humans, relying instead on a limited pool of bioavailable nutrients. While our ability to convert some of these into usable forms is individual, most people don’t do this well, and begin to develop deficiencies past the short term. As a vegan, it’s essential to supplement in a number of important ways, and to consult a practitioner with extensive practical experience in that area.

Veganism is typically promoted on the back of benefits to animal welfare, human health and the environment. I firmly believe that it is ill-suited to addressing any of these worthwhile concerns, which places me, from an ideological standpoint, at odds with a vegan client. This represents a significant barrier to them feeling heard and understood in our relationship.

Yes (provided their concerns fall within scope), but any work with your children needs to be undertaken with your full involvement, presence and co-operation. This might represent some degree of change for the whole family, rather than for one child within it. Please get in touch to discuss this in person.

NTP’s do not diagnose, cure or treat disease. Could I help support your system as your body fights cancer or undergoes treatment? Yes.

But I strongly advise against the rejection of medical advice in an attempt to cure cancer with nutrition. While there are some remarkable case studies in which metabolic therapies have been shown to be effective alongside surgery, enabling doctors to keep aggressive tumours at bay for longer periods of time, we simply can’t assume that this is going to work in other cases. We don’t have the evidence to show that, and we’re not likely to ever get it in anything other than anecdotal form.

The interpretation of lab results is outside my scope of practice. Blood work should be ordered and interpreted by a doctor. If you have already discussed lab results with your doctor and wish to talk about any nutritional or lifestyle strategies that you could employ to address their concerns, that’s entirely appropriate. You should never assume that in discussing out-of-range markers with me, that you have taken medical advice – your doctor must always come first.

No. If you have an eating disorder, or if in the course of our work together we come to suspect that you might have one, we would find you some specialist help with that side of things. That doesn’t necessarily mean that our work would have to stop, but without that specialist input I would not be able to continue safely.

However, an eating disorder is not the same thing as ‘disordered eating’. A lot of us exhibit some degree of disordered eating – our dieting culture in which we alternately lose and gain weight in a repeated cycle being an example. Disordered eating might affect our lives without (yet) putting us at physical risk. This is something that we can work on, while remaining mindful of the grey areas where disordered eating may become an eating disorder.

Extra care will be needed if you have suffered from an eating disorder in the past, and it’s important that you share that information with me.
