Nutrition Counselling

Personal Nutrition Counselling Session (60 minutes)

This type of counselling session is best suited for conditions that don’t require regular follow-up or in cases where the session is primarily education based. Typically an initial visit lasts 60 minutes and follow-up visits are 30 minutes, however, this can be custom tailored to meet individual needs.

Adult weight loss and/or diabetes individualised nutrition counselling

Available as 4 session packages (initial 60 minute visit, 3 follow-up appointments @ 30 min each) or 8 session packages (initial 60 minute visit, 7 follow-up appointments @ 30 min each).

This package is ideal for adults looking to lose weight and keep it off. Includes a client questionnaire to be completed prior to the first visit. The initial visit will include time spent obtaining weight and other measurements, review of current dietary intake, and set initial goals. Follow-up visits are typically every 2-4 weeks but the frequency will be determined based on individual client needs. Follow-up visits focus on education, behaviour change counselling, and monitoring of goals in progress. The concluding visit will have an emphasis on the plan for long-term maintenance of weight loss. If counselling includes diabetes management only and no weight loss the focus will instead be on dietary self-management of diabetes and long-term meal planning with an emphasis on maintaining a healthy weight.

Travel considerations

• Private practice location is in Thetford, however, travel arrangements can be made to conduct in-home counselling sessions (or at another agreed upon location).
• For travel outside a 15-mile radius from Thetford mileage, there will be reimbursement of a set rate per mile (outside of 15 miles) and an additional £20 per visit to account for additional time outside the office.

Unable to travel for appointments?

Nutrition counselling sessions can also be conducted via Skype or WhatsApp. It is important that the dietitian is able to see you in order to better provide nutrition counselling, however, if telephone (no video) is your only option, this can be made available. All online counselling sessions will be conducted when the dietitian is in a private setting to provide confidentiality.
