Nutritional Therapy

 

Client story 1: Ruth

One client came to nutritional therapy feeling constantly tired, bloated, and frustrated with her eating. She described swinging between trying to be “good” with food during the day and overeating in the evenings, often feeling disconnected from hunger and fullness cues.

Alongside exploring digestion, blood sugar balance and nutrient support, we looked at how pressure, perfectionism and long days of holding herself together showed up in her relationship with food. Eating had become both something to control and something to escape into.

Over time, she noticed more stable energy, fewer digestive flare-ups, and a softer relationship with food. Meals felt less loaded, and she began to recognise when her body needed nourishment versus rest, comfort or space.

This work focused on rebuilding trust with her body, not enforcing rules.

Client story 2: Helen

A client sought support for low mood, anxiety and ongoing gut symptoms. She had tried multiple dietary approaches but felt increasingly confused and fearful around food, worried about “getting it wrong”.

Rather than starting with restriction, we slowed things down. We explored how stress, nervous system activation and long-standing self-criticism were affecting digestion and appetite. Nutrition became a way of supporting safety and steadiness rather than another thing to manage.

As her system settled, her symptoms eased and her confidence around food grew. She reported feeling more present during meals and less reactive around cravings, with a growing sense that food was supporting her rather than controlling her.

 

Client story 3: Abigail 

One client came feeling disconnected from her body after years of dieting and “pushing through”. She struggled with inconsistent appetite, emotional eating and feeling numb or detached around meals.

Together we explored how her body had learned to override signals in order to cope. Nutritional therapy focused on gentle structure, consistency and nourishment, while also making space to notice emotional patterns linked to eating.

Over time, she began to feel more embodied and responsive to her needs. Food became less of a battleground and more of a support, with increased awareness of how rest, boundaries and expression affected her appetite and energy.

 

Client story 4: Louise

A client working long hours came with fatigue, sugar cravings and a sense of being out of sync with herself. Food was often rushed, skipped or used to cope at the end of the day.

We looked at practical nutritional support alongside how little room there was for choice, pleasure or pause in her daily life. Eating patterns were explored as information, not problems to fix.

As her days became more spacious, her relationship with food shifted naturally. She noticed fewer crashes, more satisfaction from meals, and a clearer connection between how she lived and how her body responded.


Soul-Level Psychotherapy
 

Client story 1: Jessica

A client came to therapy feeling stuck in repeating relational patterns. She described people-pleasing, over-responsibility and a quiet resentment that never seemed to have space to be expressed.

In therapy, we explored how these patterns developed and what they were protecting. By bringing awareness to moments of contraction and disconnection, she began to notice where she abandoned herself in order to stay connected to others.

Over time, she felt more grounded in her choices, clearer in her boundaries, and more able to stay present with discomfort rather than override it.

Client story 2: Claire

One client sought therapy during a life transition, feeling lost, flat and disconnected from meaning. Outwardly things looked fine, but internally there was a sense of “this can’t be it”.

Our work focused on slowing down, listening to what was emerging beneath the surface, and exploring parts of herself that had been sidelined for years. Therapy became a space where uncertainty didn’t need to be fixed, just met.

Gradually, she felt more alive, more trusting of her inner signals, and more able to make choices aligned with who she was becoming rather than who she had been.

 

Client story 3: Rebecca

A client came with anxiety and a strong inner critic. She felt constantly on edge, monitoring herself and worrying about getting things wrong in relationships and work.

In therapy, we explored how this internal pressure functioned as protection, and what happened when it softened. Through relational work, she experienced moments of being seen without having to perform or manage.

Over time, she reported feeling calmer, more self-compassionate, and more able to respond rather than react when challenges arose.

 

Client story 4: Rob

One client arrived feeling disconnected from his emotions, particularly anger.   He described being “fine” most of the time but exhausted and unfulfilled and he kept feeling short tempered.

Therapy focused on gently increasing awareness of what had been pushed down or ignored. As he learned to stay with sensations, emotions and impulses as they arose, he felt more present and authentic.

This led to subtle but meaningful shifts in how he related to himself and others, with a growing sense of choice, agency and awareness.​
