My background is in ‘talking therapies’ including short term counselling, CBT as well as longer-term psychotherapy. I am also a Chinese medicine practitioner specialising in Acupuncture. My practice experience includes working with people from high achieving business and sports backgrounds. I aim to focus my expertise on providing a beneficial and patient responsive service.

Having first trained as a sports massage therapist Peter is very comfortable dealing with diverse injuries and musculoskeletal concerns, but having recently completed two years of postgraduate training in Women’s Health Osteopathy at the Molinari Institute of Health, he has a special interest in all aspects of women’s health. The two-year training also encompassed many elements of men’s health.

Peter appreciates that whilst treatment can sometimes be challenging, the patient remains fully informed about what is being done and where possible why the problem exists. Your healthcare is a partnership, practitioner and client working together to be better.

1. What do you love most about Nutritional Therapy?

I love being a health detective. I love getting to the root cause of the health issues as so often there are many layers to a person and why they are in the situation they are in. It’s such a buzz when people improve their health from advice you have given them. Part of my job is to give them the advice they need, but at the same time, explaining to them about biology and physiology. This empowers my clients to support themselves better and understand the signals their body gives them.

2. How do you tailor your service to each client?

I tailor everything to each client, as there is no ‘size fit all’. The protocol is designed depending on where they are in their journey, how much time they have to dedicate to their new lifestyle, and how open to they are to change their habits. I look at each client as a whole so it’s important to take in all of these aspects when designing a protocol, as you want them to succeed.

3. What is your favourite thing about what you do & why?

One of my passions is debunking health and food ‘myths’ that are rife in the media and show clients that food and health doesn’t need to be complicated or stressful. It’s really satisfying when clients (re)discover foods they thought were (in their minds) on the ‘bad’ list that they now enjoy and make them feel great.
