Dietetic Therapy
What is Dietetic Therapy?
Dietetic therapy is with our Dietitian, Rachel. It has been designed for anyone who would like to improve their relationship with food and feel safer, more accepting and more connected to their body so they can start to truly enjoy living it. Whether you are currently experiencing chronic yo-yo dieting, dietary restriction, binge eating, purging, chew and spitting, compulsive exercise, hypothalamic amenorrhea or body image concerns; we work together using a compassion centred approach to support you to build trust in yourself and your body.
How does Dietetic Therapy work?
Everyone's journey is unique and what you focus on and how long you work together will depend on your personal circumstances. Rachel draws on a varieties of theories, practises and strategies including psycho-nutrition education, nutritional rehabilitation, meal planning, supplemental requirements, coping skills and practises, body connection, body image, neuroscience, hypnotherapy, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, exposure work, reframing unhelpful beliefs, inner child healing, CBT, ACT, somatic interventions, inner child healing and of course building a trusting therapeutic relationship. You will always be the leader of your journey and Rachel will always hold you in unconditional positive regard.
Rachel uses a three stage model in her practice, beginning with stabilisation, safety and symptom management, moving onto deeper exploration and finally integration or reconnection to self, others and the world. Some individuals will work with Rachel for three months, others for three years Rachel works in 12 session sets which allows you to reflect and evaluate regularly
Rachel is not an anti-diet practitioner, nor is she pro-diet; so if you would like to pursue making changes to your physical body, for example pursuing fat loss, this is something that can be explored. If your goal is to recovery from a diagnosed eating disorder, disordered eating or improve your relationship with food, eating and/or your body then any weight or fat loss goals may need to be put on pause, which Rachel understands can be difficult if you have been trying to lose weight for a long period of time.
