For Professionals

A specialist physiological lens alongside psychological work

I work with psychologists and psychotherapists who have clients where physical health has become part of the wider picture.

As a Nutritional Therapist and Nutrigenomics Practitioner, I bring together health history, symptoms, nutrition, existing investigations and, where useful, genetics to look for patterns that may warrant further exploration.

When to refer

This could be a client experiencing:

Persistent fatigue or poor sleep
Alongside anxiety, low mood or changes in their capacity to cope.

Hormonal or menstrual changes
Where how they feel or function appears to shift across the cycle or during periods of hormonal change.

Digestive or other physical symptoms
That sit alongside their mental health and may be worth exploring more closely.

Cognitive changes
Including difficulties with concentration, memory, mental energy or brain fog.

A recent neurodevelopmental diagnosis
And a desire to understand more about their individual physiology and genetics.

A complex health history
With symptoms, previous investigations or test results that have never really been brought together.

There doesn't need to be an obvious nutritional question before you get in touch.

What happens next

If you have someone in mind, we can have an initial conversation about what you're noticing and whether my work might be relevant. From there, I can establish the most appropriate way to approach the assessment, including whether nutrigenomics would add anything useful.

I look across the client's history rather than considering each symptom or result on its own, building a picture of what has happened over time and where patterns begin to emerge. I then take the client through what I've found, why I think it matters and what I would recommend from there, translating that into practical changes that are realistic for the person in front of me.
