You are welcome to contact us by phone or email. Prior to the first consultation we will send you a nutritional questionnaire to fill in, along with a food diary which needs to be filled in over the course of 3 days. This can be sent to you electronically via email or standard post. The questionnaire and completed food diary should be returned to us and an appointment can then be made. The initial consultation lasts an hour. During this time, current nutritional status, diet, lifestyle choices, medical history and family history will be ascertained and will form the basis for an analysis of your symptoms. All personal details remain confidential. The Nutritional Therapist will offer advice on nutrition/diet and lifestyle with a view to relieving and/or eliminating the discomfort of specific, current symptoms. We work with you on a personalised health overview and action plan which you can then take away. Additionally, the aim is to provide information to help understand and prevent the return of recurring symptoms, and to strengthen and improve health in general. Supplemental advice is also offered. A follow-up consultation usually takes place 4/6/8weeks later to check on progress and address any new or persistent problems. The initial consultation and the follow-up consultations are both client centred with the emphasis being on a collaborative approach to solving nutritional concerns. |
