WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR CONSULTATION
INITIAL CONSULTATION > 45-60 minutes
Your first consultation is an opportunity for you and your dietitian to get to know each other. Your dietitian will ask you questions as part of your nutrition assessment to find out more about you, your health and your lifestyle.
In your first session we work out what your goals are, provide an overview and recommendations for your nutrition plan and discuss some initial strategies you can take home and get started with.
We understanding seeing a dietitian for the first time can be a little daunting, so we try to make you feel as relaxed as possible. We are food lovers with a passion for science and health and aim to help you build a healthy relationship with your diet too.
REVIEW CONSULTATIONS > 20-30 minutes
Review consultations are where the action really happens. During these sessions, you will sit down with your dietitian at regular intervals to discuss how your plan is going, what is working and what isn't. Bite-sized strategies are often most effective in generating longer term behaviour change, so we will work on these together.
Your dietitian will review biochemical markers such as blood tests, your weight (if relevant) and other tools we have discussed such as food, blood sugar or symptom diaries. With this information, we will adjust your plan and set small goals to work on between now and the next session.
If you feel you haven't been successful implementing the strategies discussed in your previous session, that's okay. This is the perfect time to come back and speak with your dietitian about what you are struggling with and we can provide solutions to help you feel a little more in control. Behaviour change is difficult and we understand and support you through this.
