Accredited Practicing Dietitian and nutritionist are qualified and registered health professionals who can assist people to translate scientifically relevant nutritional information to their own lives and circumstances, establishing eating patterns which nourish body and mind, enabling people to live well.
A dietetic consultation can assist anyone who wants to improve their health and nutrition through food and lifestyle change, supporting people to build a healthy relationship with food and with their bodies.
Dietetic therapy not only focuses on food and eating but can also address concerns about body image, weight, physical activities and thought patterns that may be preventing people from living a healthy balanced life. The team of Dietitians and Nutritionists at Mind Body Well are experienced in this field and provide therapy at our Melbourne office and also via online sessions.
Therapy Structure
Assessment Phase
All therapy at Mind Body Well begins with an initial Assessment Phase, which may take between 1-3 sessions, depending on the complexity of the issues to be addressed in therapy. At the end of this Assessment Phase, your therapist will negotiate with you a Treatment Plan, which will outline:
the focus and goals of your therapy
the treatment approaches to be used
your treatment team – which along with seeing a psychologist may also include seeing one of the dietitian’s at Mind Body Well
Treatment Phase
Each ‘Phase’ of therapy will have clear treatment goals, and a timeframe after which the effectiveness of therapy will be measured by you and your therapist. Some clients will have multiple ‘phases’ of treatment, whereas others may have more short term treatment.
