Dietitian Services & Wellbeing
Food is medicine. When our eating is disordered and we have an imbalance of nutrients, our mind and body will start to struggle.
Our dietitian will help you understand the basics of food chemistry so you can make informed dietary choices to improve your mental health, and to prevent and treat, illness and disease.
Coaching you on habit and behaviour change is an essential aspect of our work. We will help you prepare and plan for the lifestyle changes required to reach your goals.
We have a wealth of experience in working with mental health conditions, weight management, and eating disorder recovery.

Eating well & mental health
If you are struggling with mental health problems, you may also struggle with your weight, feel tired and experience low mood.
You may always feel hungry, and use food as a way of dealing with your emotions, or any stressful events. On the other hand, others might restrict their food intake in response to stressors or negative emotions.
Feeling hungrier, or losing your appetite in food can either be a consequence of the mental health disorder itself, or can also be the result of certain medications and treatments.
Eating a balanced diet that consists of the right amounts of healthy carbohydrates, essential fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins and water, and exercising more regularly, is important for mental health:
- Your mental health symptoms may improve without the need for medication
- In more severe cases where medication might be an essential part of treatment, some of the possible side effects could be alleviated with the help of nutrition
- Human nutrition is important for treating several mental health disorders that can be exacerbated by dietary reasons
- Improved mood and wellbeing

Time to Nourish Your Health
Working with a dietitian at EmotionMatters gives you time to explore your relationship with food, understand how nutrition affects your mental and physical wellbeing, and make meaningful, sustainable changes to how you care for your body.
Your journey begins with a 60-minute Initial Consultation, where we take the time to understand your health goals, challenges, and personal story.
From there, you can choose a flexible bundle of support – with options of 2, 3, or 4 hours – to be used in a way that fits your life, your pace, and your needs.
We believe that nourishment takes time – and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
