Services & what to expect…

15 mins | no charge

An initial 15 minute phone call to explore your medical condition or particular goal. We can establish whether we’re a good ‘fit’ and that your clinical needs are within my scope of practice.

If we agree to proceed, then I will email you a set of forms, gathering background information which will help me to understand you, in readiness for our 1st appointment.

These forms will cover:

Your medical history (current diagnosis, any investigations, other medical conditions, medications)

Anthropometry (if relevant- height, weight, weight history)

About you (work pattern, family, interests, activity levels etc)

Diet (any food triggers, allergies, special diets, previous dietary changes made)

7 Day Food & Symptom Diary providing me with a snap shot of your current diet and eating habits and any relevant digestive symptoms

1 hour | £115

(Please note that this fee includes the time spent reviewing your pre-assessment forms, session planning in advance and a written summary report, shared with you afterwards.)

This can be held virtually or face-to-face at my home clinic, in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

It will involve discussing in greater depth the relevant information that you shared with me, prior to our session. We will then establish the outcomes you would like from our appointment and we will agree a set of goals (through dietary / lifestyle changes) to help you achieve these.

Some patients may only need one appointment.

45 mins | £70

We will talk about any changes to your clinical condition and symptoms- reviewing and amending you goals and plan accordingly.

1 x 1 hour | 2 x 45 mins | (£230)

During our initial consultation we will consider your current diet and lifestyle and ensure that all ‘first-line’ advice to improve IBS symptoms have been met.

If we feel that it is appropriate we will then progress on to commence a low FODMAP diet. This will involve an initial 4-6 week exclusion phase, where I well guide you in identifying and temporarily removing all foods high in FODMAPs from your diet. I will provide you with literature (from King’s College, London) to take away for reference. A key role for me here is to support you in maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet, whilst you exclude certain foods.

Towards the end of this period we will have a second consultation, to assess your progress and the extent of any symptom relief. I will then talk you through the challenge & reintroduction phase, which helps you to identify your own personal FODMAP triggers and threshold levels.

Finally, you will embark on the personalisation phase, during which we will broaden the variety in your diet once more and talk about how to navigate situations such as eating out and managing meals containing multiple FODMAPs.

(A 3rd session is not always required and if this is the case we can amend the price of your package to a First Appointment and Follow-Up only.)
