About me

I am a highly specialised Paediatric Dietitian, with over 19 years of experience, having worked in some of the countries leading childrens hospitals including The Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital and Alderhey Childrens Hospital.

I have a specialist knowledge in children with behavioural eating issues including fussy eating and ARFID as well as a vast experience in other specialisms including cardiac surgery, metabolics; and general paediatrics such as cows milk protein intolerance, soya intolerance, feeding problems, poor growth, children with special needs, iron deficiency anaemia, constipation/diarrhoea, Coeliac Disease, Toddler diarrhoea and gastro oesophageal reflux.

I provide an individualised approach. Although the majority of appointments will be in my clinic room, if you feel it would be beneficial for me to do a home visit to watch a mealtime then this is no problem at all. I feel home visits are extremely useful especially at mealtimes to evaluate a true reflection of mealtimes and advise regarding your childs dietary intake and behaviour around mealtimes. I also offer video and phonecall consultations.

I also work closely with clinical pychologists and a speech and language therapist who have specialist experience of working with children with additional needs and behavioural feeding difficulties.

I also work closely with a private Paediatric Gastroenterologist and Consultant Paediatrician.
