Questions before you book

Answers to common questions about diagnosis, medication, online sessions, payment options and choosing the right programme.

No. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from my programmes.

Many women come to me because they recognise ADHD traits in themselves — difficulties with focus, emotional regulation, overwhelm, or consistency — even if they haven’t been formally diagnosed. Others are newly diagnosed and unsure what to do next.

What matters is that you recognise yourself in the struggles—and you're ready for support that actually fits how your brain works. My work supports the underlying patterns commonly seen in ADHD, so it can be helpful whether you have a diagnosis or not.

Yes. Many women with ADHD also experience other conditions, and these are often interconnected.

I regularly support women with ADHD alongside:

  • hormonal imbalances (including PCOS and perimenopause)
  • anxiety and low mood
  • digestive issues such as IBS
  • fatigue and burnout
  • weight regulation challenges

My approach looks at the whole picture rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

Yes. I work with families, offering gentle, evidence-informed support for children and teens around gut health, focus, emotional regulation, sleep, and nutrition—always in an age-appropriate, realistic way. Where it makes sense, I take a family-wide approach, since ADHD rarely exists in isolation.

Most nutrition advice wasn't designed for ADHD brains. Standard protocols assume consistent energy, strong executive function, and the ability to follow rigid plans. My approach accounts for dopamine-seeking behaviour, inconsistency, all-or-nothing thinking, and emotional eating—the real challenges ADHD people face. That's the difference.

Absolutely. Medication can be helpful for some people, and I take a balanced, non-judgmental view. Nutrition and lifestyle support help create the conditions where medication works better—and for some women, it's enough on its own to significantly improve symptoms.

I understand that investment in health support can feel like a lot. If cost is a barrier, please reach out—I may be able to offer payment plans or suggest alternative options.

Yes. All consultations are delivered online via secure video call, so location isn't a barrier.

Most consultations are offered online, which many clients find flexible and easy to fit into busy lives. However, I understand that some people prefer face-to-face support.

I’m based in Notting Hill, and in-person appointments can be arranged by discussion, depending on availability and suitability.

Dietitians typically focus on clinical nutrition for specific medical conditions (diabetes, kidney disease, etc.). Nutritional therapists take a whole-body, root-cause approach—looking at how nutrition, digestion, hormones, stress, and lifestyle interact to influence health. I also bring in health coaching, ADHD-specific strategies, and naturopathic principles.

Nutrition therapy focuses on what your body needs — food, nutrients, supplements, and physiological support.

Health coaching focuses on how to make changes stick — building routines, managing overwhelm, improving consistency, and working with ADHD tendencies rather than fighting them.

My programmes combine both. This means you receive evidence-based nutritional guidance and the practical support needed to implement it in real life.

It depends on what we're addressing. Some changes—like blood sugar stability—can improve energy and focus within days. Others—like nutrient repletion or hormonal rebalancing—take weeks to months. The aim isn't quick fixes, but meaningful, lasting change.

Nutritional therapy and health coaching are not usually covered by insurance. Many clients view this work as an investment in long-term health, resilience, and symptom management.

Yes — alongside my clinical practice I work with restaurants, hotels, and drinks brands on functional menu development and innovative beverage programmes. You can find out more on the Hospitality Consultancy page.

You don't need to work that out on your own. The first step is to book a free discovery call, where we'll talk through your goals, symptoms, and how you work best — and find the right fit together.
