What to Expect from your Consultation

What to Expect from your Consultation

It is important that you know what to expect from your consultation, how much your care will cost and what is included in each session.

 Before the Consultation

You can contact me directly for help or be referred by your doctor or other health professional. I recommend that you consult your doctor with any health issues before seeking additional help.

This is a private service tailored specifically for you and offering timely and individual care in a location convenient for you.

Once I receive your referral, normally within one week, you will have a free initial telephone assessment of your needs and expectations of our consultations.

We will then agree the date, time, location and fee of our consultation and this will be confirmed by email or letter.

If in my clinic, the exact location and transport information will also be given in this email/ letter. It is your responsibility to arrange transport to the venue.

If a home visit, please arrange for pets and children to be safely cared for during the consultation to allow us the best chance to work together.

The First Consultation

You will be always be personally greeted by me and I will introduce myself.

You can bring a family member or friend with you to support you during the consultation, however, this should be limited to one or two people. We will talk about why we are working together and anything that might affect the consultation.

The initial consultation will last one hour and include assessment of:

  • Current condition and diet related issues
  • Current diet patterns
  • Current weight and height and calculation of Body Mass Index
  • History of weight, diet and health
  • Adequacy of nutritional content
  • Current wellbeing and motivation

You will have a tailored written plan of action and supporting information to help you improve your diet and health. You will then be offered a range of follow up options and this will be agreed and booked

 

Follow Up Consultations

I offer a range of follow up options to suit you and your lifestyle. For the most effective care, I suggest follow up consultations should be booked in advance and have at least one further one to one session.

You can have follow up consultations:

  • One to One either in clinic or your own home
  • Via telephone
  • Via Skype
  • Via Email

 

Packages of care

If you have a long term or complex condition it is more likely that you will need further support. A cost-effective way is to pre-book a care package in advance with dates set to suit you. This will be organised based on your estimated need and can be added to as required.

 

 Consultation Fees

Fees depend on the location and complexity of condition and reflect the specialist tailored care offered.

 

Pre-Booked Consultation Packages

Packages of planned care can be arranged to suit your individual requirements and fee negotiated to reflect this.
