​

These are some of the key mechanisms and benefits:

​

• Self-monitoring to start building awareness of your behaviours and their accompanying emotions and thoughts. Understanding the nature and the roots of your behaviours is a crucial step into the cycle of change, even before you start implementing changes.

• Creating a pause between emotional, environmental or habitual trigger and response.

•  Practicing skills taught in your dietetic sessions on how to respond differently and change behaviours that currently seem automatic.

•  Developing a habit of regular and structured eating, as skipping meals and restrictive behaviours are a maintaining factor for disordered eating, chronic dieting and an overall unhealthy relationship with eating.

• Regular coaching input from a nutrition expert can bring to your awareness blind behavioural spots and repeated patterns. It is important to note that this is delivered in a non-judgemental, non-critical manner; both clinician and client are using their curiosity and gentle problem-solving skills in order to offer guidance and ultimately freedom from the behaviours you are trying to change.

• Openly sharing what we eat can feel daunting, but secrecy and shame around our behaviours is often what maintains the issue. By taking this short term step, you are courageously  where you are shining the spotlight in what eating behaviours are aligned to your goals and which ones aren’t. Evidence shows that recording and monitoring is a powerful tool alongside regular input from an experienced practitioner.

​

Your account can be personalised depending on:

​

• the behaviour or health issue you want to address (e.g. binge eating disorder, anorexia, bulimia OR other disordered eating behaviours but can also be adapted for weight management, emotional eating, type 2 diabetes, healthy eating).

• your usual working and lifestyle routine.

• your learning style; for example an 8 week bespoke programme of evidence based goals and coping strategies can be activated assist you with learning alternative coping skills and reframing your thoughts.

• the level of support you need; specific goals can be incorporated into your account based on the difficulties you are currently facing, while number of notifications can be adjusted.

 

What is your investment?​

​

​Option 1: Completely FREE with all packages or single sessions. In this scenario, I will be checking your logs just before, but primarily during our sessions to make sure we are focusing on the most important things. Meanwhile, you are receiving all the benefits mentioned as above, and you can use this adjuctive tool for as long as you feel it is helpful to establishing healthier habits. 

​

Option 2: If we identify that more frequent dietetic input will be beneficial for your goals, you can opt for app coaching sessions 3 times per week, for just £60 per week. This can be used as an alternate tool in between sessions, for example 1 week one to one session, alternated by 1 week of app coaching. It may also be valuable on a week that you know you cannot fit  a regular session, but still require interim support during the active stage of implementing changes.

I will check your account with all logs, comments and any questions logged, and will offer support as needed, depending on what we are working on.

​

What you will get in exchange:

​

• Answering all your questions via the direct chat function. 

• Checking portion sizes in descriptions/photos and offering adjustments.

• Responding to logs by listing alternative options for your snacks, meals, as a practical way to reflect on how you can plan differently next time a similar situation arises.

• Checking balance of your protein, carbohydrate and fats intake and offering advice as needed, suggesting alternatives.

• Helping you link any symptoms/behaviours with meals eaten; for example how eating choices during the day may have increased your vulnerability to experience an emotional overeating episode later in the day OR how food cravings may be impacted depending on the choice of meals the night before.

• Keeping you connected to maintaining self-compassion, by identifying critical, blaming statements around food, or harsh eating rules, which are likely keeping you in an unhealthy eating cycle.

• Maintaining high levels of motivation via regular support and guidance in a warm, compassionate but also practical manner.

​

This can be used as an alternate tool in between sessions, for example 1 week one to one session, alternated by 1 week of app coaching. It may also be valuable on a week that you know you cannot fit  a regular session, but still require interim support during the active stage of implementing changes.

Please note that the coaching is not usually ‘live’; for instance, if  I offer app coaching on Wednesday morning, and you respond on Wednesday afternoon, I will most likely respond in the next app coaching session on the Friday. If you would prefer a time limited ‘live’ app coaching slot, we can arrange this.
