With over 12 years of experience in the dietetic field, I find it most rewarding to assist individuals in making behavioural changes and to empower them to make informed choices that align with their overall mental and physical well-being. My practice aligns with the nutrition principles of Health at Every Size (HAES), which advocate a healthy relationship with food, promote self-care, body positivity  and the intrinsic value of nourishing oneself without the constraints of diet culture.

 

In my work, I have integrated principles from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI), tailoring each intervention to align with the individual’s specific needs, circumstances, and stage of change. These principles create a supportive environment that facilitates recovery and helps building a trusting working relationships with patients as well as their families.

 

I approach the treatment of patients with a commitment to equality and respect for their human dignity, irrespective of their cultural, ethnic, or religious background.
