Holding space for you to feel supported and able to navigate the ups and downs of T1D life.

My approach has soft edges, and it blends my expansive background in psychology, research, coaching, and advocacy. I meet you where you’re at. No rinse and repeat protocols in this clinic.

Equipped with two degrees in health psychology, a 3-year diploma in nutrition, and 27 years of life with type 1 diabetes, I knew enough about t1d to know this: asking clients to restrict their diet or telling them to just put in more effort wasn’t helpful and it wasn’t working.

But I also knew t1ds needed more support and less dictating to. They were overwhelmed by all the nutrition noise out there, and terrified of doing it ‘wrong’, whilst also burning out through the mental load of life with this condition.

So I set up my clinic, understanding how to marry everything we know about the importance of psychological support and establishing long-term behaviour change, with specialist nutritional interventions that foster better outcomes with t1d. Pairing psychology and nutrition was fundamental in considering t1ds as whole people, and not simply datasets on CGM graphs.

I knew early on that central to the success of this work was giving people time and space to be seen and heard, not hurried through an appointment, judged, or told they needed to do better.

The results changed lives.

Meet Beth

Food has always been a huge part of my life. You only have to look at my family nicknames (sausage, chip, pudding) to get the picture.

Fascinated by blending flavours, textures and smells, I found creativity and solace in the kitchen. This led to some rather experimental inventions (chorizo Thai red curry is one I’d rather forget).

But my diagnosis of type 1 diabetes muddied the water. Type 1 is a condition like no other. It requires meticulous focus on what you eat. My relationship to food became all about counting, measuring intake, and dialling up insulin doses - suddenly it was fewer chorizo curries and more stress and confusion.

This lead me into the psychological space, working in health psychology, public health, and disordered eating at the world-famous Centre for Research on Eating Disorders at Oxford.

Today, I run a thriving psycho-nutritional clinic over Zoom, partnering with T1Ds like you to make life with this high-level chronic condition a little bit lighter. What I can guarantee is space, connection, and relational support, to help you live in the messiness of t1d life.

Let me show you how

Testimonial Entries

“Beth was fantastic to work with, I cannot recommend her enough. She has been incredibly supportive, thorough and attentive to my needs. My main take away from working with Beth is that she always makes me feel so heard and understood. Her guidance and plans are so well thought out and bespoke to each person.”

Katy, Hove UK

“I reached out to Beth after my type 1 diagnosis and she was a really great help both from a practical as well as an emotional perspective. I learnt so much from our sessions that I know will help for the rest of my life. Beth made all this new information easy to digest and accessible to a complete newbie. I would highly recommend anyone with T1D to work with Beth.”

Chris, London UK

“I am so so glad I found Beth to work with. I was really struggling to manage the tricky balance of type 1 diabetes alongside a new diagnosis of IBS. Beth really enabled me to understand what was going on with my gut and provided so much reassurance. Beth helped me to achieve goals with my gut health and type 1 diabetes.”

Chloe, East Sussex UK

“Well my experience with Beth has been so amazing. She agreed to meet with us as a family to help my mum re-learn how to control her Diabetes. Her support and encouragement has been incredible, and I really don't think my mum would be where she is now without Beth. She is so easy to talk to and her plans are made very clear for us to understand.”

Bev and family, Bedfordshire UK

“I cannot praise Beth enough for her expertise, wisdom and knowledge on all things nutritional and T1D. I feel blessed to have found her - she has helped me immensely and it has been an absolute joy to work with her and I would like to have her in my top pocket forever - she is a superstar!”

Cesca, Eastbourne UK

“What can I say, Beth helped both my mind and body. I feel emotionally stronger and Beth listens to your worries. I now eat fruit and have stopped skipping meals. I don't think I would ever have done this if it wasn't for Beth’s support and encouragement. I’m a changed person and love thinking about what goodness I can get into my body and what self care moments I can add to my daily routines. Thank you Beth!!”

Katie, Tunbridge Wells UK

“I spent a long time thinking about working with Beth before I decided to give it a shot. I had a decent understanding of food and was eating relatively well but felt I needed some support. Beth helped me bring even more balance into my food and we worked together to figure out what my body needed. Our sessions went beyond food, looking at tweaks that could be made to increase overall well being.”

Madeleine, Glasgow UK

“I genuinely cannot recommend or speak more highly of Beth. She is an abundance of knowledge, passion and relatability. She helped my family really get control on some issues that were quite frankly, keeping me up at night! Her delivery and empathy is just what you need when discussing such a complex subject as nutrition. I will be in touch with Beth again in the future and will always be truly thankful for her help.”

Laura, mother a T1D, Bristol UK

“It has been so positive working with Beth, and her support, guidance and knowledge has really helped me to feel more proactive and calm in my approach to type 1 diabetes and food. Despite having T1D for over 30 years, working with Beth has been a really important moment in my care that will have long-lasting impact. Thanks Beth!”

Jess, Norfolk UK

The nitty gritty

It all started off with a BA in Experimental Psychology (Oxford University). This is where I first cut my teeth on psychological theories and got to grips with conducting research and adding to the ever-evolving evidence base.

Fascinated by behaviour change and wanting to understand the ways in which our physical health and psychological health are bound up, I completed an MSc in Health Psychology (University of Bath).

Curious about how food can help us to thrive, I went on to study a rigorous 3-year Nutritional Therapy diploma at the world-famous College for Naturopathic Medicine in London.

I now combine my loves of food and psychology to best support clients in making meaningful and sustainable changes.

I am registered with BANT and the CNHC. These memberships ensure I engage with ongoing mentoring and continued learning through postgraduate training.

I am in receipt of monthly supervision from a health psychologist and monthly nutrition mentoring, which means I remain up to speed with the latest in nutritional science and provide you with the safest and most impactful clinical service.
