Some Useful Tips when Choosing your Nutritional Therapist
Searching for a Nutritional Therapist to suit your Needs
All DipION nutritional therapists are trained to support you in
all areas of nutrition and health. Many develop specific areas of
expertise and focus their continued learning and consultation development
within these areas. If you are arranging a consultation for a specific
reason let the therapist know and ask them if they specialise in
this area. The therapist will not mind and may be able to recommend
someone more appropriate if the need arises.
Holistic Approaches to Nutritional Therapy
Some nutritional therapists also study other complementary therapies
for example naturopathy and herbal medicine to enhance their
approach to nutritional therapy with this additional knowledge.
Feel free to ask the therapist you contact about this.
It is for you and the therapist to agree on the approach you wish
to take.

Please
note: that DipION therapists practicing outside of the UK will be
associated with a nutritional body within their respective countries.
Should the need arise, you will need to contact the representative
body within that country.
We
would also like to hear from you so that we are aware of the situation,
and can act accordingly, to ensure that visitors to the directory
can be confident they will receive the best service our graduates
are able to offer.
