Why Consult With Me?

I'm a doctor with 20 years of medical expertise who has experienced weight stigma for most of his adult life. I'm also doctor who understands the impact the weight loss industry has had on the medical profession and is fighting to change that.

We start with a thorough history and timeline. No need to prepare in advance.

Together we identify your needs, concerns, and future goals. I'll write them down.

Afterward I will type up a summary and share it with you. Feel free to add to or amend it.

We can then arrange to follow up or I can signpost you to other resources.

Understand Your Body

and what it means to be "healthy" no matter your size or your medical history

Challenge Doctors

when they try to pressure you into losing weight or making "lifestyle changes"

Access weight Neutral Care

where symptoms are not blamed on weight and weight loss isn't a treatment option

Feel empowered and in control

of your own health and all your future healthcare consultations

Patient-Centered Approach

I prioritize you as the expert of your own life. My consultations follow a patient-centered model, meaning I listen to and am led by your experiences, concerns, and goals.

Collaborative Planning

I work collaboratively with you to discuss potential causes for your symptoms. Together, we formulate a plan that you can take back to your healthcare team, ensuring you receive the right treatment moving forward.

Intersectional & Trauma-Informed

I understand that your health journey is influenced by various factors, including your identity and past experiences. My approach is intersectional and trauma-informed, ensuring a holistic understanding of your unique needs.

Validation & Affirmation

I affirm and validate your right to fair, unbiased medical care. Your experiences are valid, and I'm here to support you in asserting your rights. I incorporate counselling and coaching techniques into my consultations.

Ready To Book?

Consultation

👉 You need treatment or advice that isn't focussed on your weight

Doctors will often overlook a symptom or diagnosis because of their unchecked anti-fat bias. You need a doctor who is not interested in your weight and will treat you exactly the same, regardless of your size. 

👉 You're afraid to see a doctor because you of how you have been treated in the past

Most people who are routinely stigmatised by their medical professionals will avoid them where possible. But that means you don’t get the healthcare you need or deserve. You need a doctor who will focus on your needs, your concerns, and your expectations. 

👉 You think you might have an underlying condition that has been missed

Doctors often focus on one specific symptom or system. But what if you have multiple symptoms that may be linked together? You need a doctor who looks beyond the surface and explores what might be going on underneath. 

An initial session lasts 90 minutes and is my opportunity to get to know you. I take a thorough history and help you identify your needs, concerns and expectations.

By the end of the initial session we will have set some personalised goals to work on  moving forward. These may be solely medical, or include other important intentions such as processing past trauma, or improving your self-advocacy skills.

After our initial session, I will create a personalised summary and management plan, so that you don’t have to worry about remembering every detail we cover during our time together. 

In my experience, it takes six sessions to reap the full benefits of working with me. I charge £200 an hour for my time. You can book your consultations individually or purchase a block of six. 

⭐A 90 minute initial consultation costs £300

⭐A 60 minute follow up consultation costs £200

⭐A block of six sessions (90 minute initial consultation plus FIVE 60 minute follow up consultations) costs £1300 £1200

Diabetes Package

👉 Your diabetic management plan is primarily focussed on weight loss, diet, and exercise

Rather than focusing on your overall wellbeing, diabetes reviews primarily focus on weight. Not only is this incredibly stigmatising, but it means you are not getting adequate care.  You need a doctor who knows that weight loss is both unsustainable and harmful, and only offers weight inclusive suggestions and advice. 

👉 You find yourself falling back into old restrictive eating patterns

This time it’s not about weight loss, it’s about glucose control. You find yourself obsessing about what you’re eating, denying yourself foods that you’re craving, and fixating on meals much more than you used to. You need a doctor who will put an end to this immediately, and help you to eat intuitively with diabetes. [Please note that I am not an expert in nutrition and in some cases I will recommend you seek additional support]

👉 You're putting off your next appointment because you can't face the inevitable stigma

Avoiding medical care is a normal response to weight stigma and medical trauma. But that just puts your health at risk. You need a doctor who will provide a safe, weight neutral space and help you create a management plan that will last for years to come. 

Like all of of my consultations, an initial session lasts 90 minutes and is my opportunity to get to know you. We will primarily focus on your diabetes, but I take a holistic approach and ensure you have enough time to feel safe and open up. 

By the end of the initial session we will have dispelled a lot of myths as well as covering important topics like medications, assessing your risk, and avoiding complications.

After our initial session, you will have access to your own personalised summary and management plan, which you can take back to your own diabetes team.

The package costs £600 and includes:

⭐A 90 minute initial consultation (Usual costs £300)

⭐Three 30 minute follow up consultation costs (Usual cost £300)

⭐An online diabetes support group

⭐Six months access to The Weighting Room (Usual cost £90)
