Nutripsychology combines insights form the fields nutritional science and clinical psychology to help you shift the balance from using food to regulate negative emotions towards nourishing your brain and body. 

Standard diet advice often falls short in tackling the root causes of emotional eating, especially in a world filled with highly processed foods. On the other hand, traditional psychotherapy tends to overlook the biological drivers of eating habits—many of which are influenced by the gut microbiome. 

That’s why Nutripsychology approaches unwanted cravings and stress eating from both a biological and psychological perspective by guiding you to become an intentional eater in six* sessions through the use of nutritional psychiatry and psychotherapeutic skills coaching. Nutripsychology borrows skills from modalities that have good evidence for supporting people with disordered eating: Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

* Six is a minimum number of sessions required to start learning alternative ways to cope with stress. The total number of sessions will depend on how chronic your problem is and how much skills practice you can do outside of the sessions.  If needed, after the initial six-session block, you can have additional support on a pay-as-you-go basis at £75 per follow-up.
