Most parents arrive with one of three worries: my child eats nothing, my child eats only junk, or my child is gaining too much weight. All three are common, and all three get worse when mealtimes turn into a negotiation.

The consultation looks at growth against standard charts rather than at a single weight, at what is actually being eaten across a week, and at the structure around eating — timing, screens, snacking, sleep, and who decides what appears on the plate. Where growth or a report suggests something medical, you are referred to your paediatrician.

Plans are practical: lunchboxes that survive till lunchtime, familiar foods rebuilt to be more nutritious, and a realistic approach to fussy eating that does not rely on bribery or on removing everything a child likes. For teenagers there is the additional matter of sport, exam schedules, body image and iron status, particularly in girls.

—How it works

From the first form to a plan that keeps up with you

Six stages. The last two repeat for as long as you work together — that loop is the point.

01Before the first call
Assess
Pick a time and fill in the new-patient assessment — your details, health history, medication and what you want to change. A few minutes now means the consultation starts with the real picture.
02The consultation
Understand
We go through your history, your routine and any blood work from the last six months together, and agree what to work on first. Nothing is planned around a number you have not seen.
03Plan, version 1
Plan
A plan built from the food you already cook — every slot of every day, in household portions, with calories and macros calculated from the ingredients rather than estimated.
04Every day
Live
Your plan arrives in the practice's app. Sign in with your phone number and the access code you're given, check meals off with a live photo, and log your weight and measurements.
05Between reviews↻ repeats
Measure
Weight, measurements, adherence and any new blood reports gather in one record — the same record you and your nutritionist both see.
06Version 2, 3, …↻ repeats
Adapt
At each follow-up the plan is revised against what the record actually shows. Earlier versions are kept, so progress is a history rather than a rewrite.

Included: the practice’s nutrition app

Your plan for this programme lives in the practice’s own app — today’s meals in household portions, a live-camera check-off so your nutritionist sees the real plate, your weight and measurement trends, and your blood markers charted against their normal ranges. It opens in the browser on any phone or laptop, and it is included in the programme fee.

Questions about child nutrition

My child refuses vegetables entirely. Is that fixable?

Usually, but through repeated low-pressure exposure and small changes to how food is offered rather than through force. It takes weeks rather than days, and the plan is written for parents to actually run.

Should an overweight child be put on a diet?

Generally no. Children are still growing, so the usual approach is to hold weight steady while height increases, and to change the household's food environment rather than single the child out.

Are supplements needed for children?

Only where a report or a clearly inadequate diet indicates one, and in coordination with your paediatrician. Food comes first.

Questions about booking, fees, follow-ups or the app are answered in the practice FAQ.

Nutrition support complements your medical treatment — it does not replace your doctor's advice, diagnosis or prescribed medication. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result.
