Vegan Nutritional Therapist UK

Vegan nutrition support from someone who actually eats plants.

If you are vegan, plant-based or moving in that direction, you deserve nutrition advice from someone who understands how this way of eating works in real life.

I help vegans and plant-based eaters improve diet quality, support energy, fuel training, avoid common nutrient gaps and build a way of eating that feels balanced, practical and enjoyable.

Who this is for

For people already eating plant-based, and people ready to make the change.

Vegan and plant-based diets can be incredibly powerful, but they are not automatically balanced just because they avoid animal products. It is still easy to under-eat protein, rely too heavily on convenience foods, miss key nutrients, feel tired, struggle with cravings or wonder whether you are "doing it right".

I can help you build a vegan or plant-based diet that is more structured, satisfying and nutritionally complete, without making food feel rigid, joyless or complicated.

This may include:

  • Improving your protein intake in a realistic way
  • Supporting iron, B12, calcium, iodine, zinc and omega-3 intake
  • Building balanced meals that keep you fuller for longer
  • Fuelling training, strength work and recovery properly
  • Reducing reliance on ultra-processed vegan foods
  • Making plant-based eating work around your lifestyle, family and routine

What we cover

Vegan nutrition with more structure, confidence and clarity.

Whatever your reason for eating more plants, your diet still needs to support your body. That means enough energy, enough protein, enough key nutrients and enough structure to keep you feeling good.

Energy, protein and satiety

Feeling tired, hungry or snacky all the time can be a sign that your meals are not giving you enough protein, fibre, energy or structure. I'll help you build meals that feel more satisfying and support your goals.

Real whole-food meals

Plant-based eating does not need to mean living on beige freezer food or sad salads. I'll help you increase whole plant foods in a way that feels practical, enjoyable and realistic.

Training, strength and recovery

If you train, run, ride, lift, practise yoga or play sport, your food needs to support that. I'll help you understand protein, carbohydrates, hydration, timing and recovery so you can fuel properly.

Nutrients that matter

B12, iron, iodine, calcium, omega-3s, zinc and vitamin D all deserve attention on a vegan or plant-based diet. I'll help you understand what matters, what may need tracking, and where supplements may be useful.

Plant-based family eating

If you are feeding a household, I can help make plant-based meals more balanced, realistic and appealing without cooking completely separate dinners every night.

Confidence with food

The goal is not perfection. It is to help you understand what your body needs, build better habits and feel more confident with the food choices you are making.

How I work

Guidance rooted in science, delivered with care.

Vegan nutrition is not just about swapping meat for tofu and hoping for the best. It needs thought, structure and an understanding of how different nutrients work together.

My approach is evidence-informed, practical and grounded in real life. I'll look at your food diary, lifestyle, training, sleep, digestion, preferences and goals so we can build a plan that actually fits you.

Common questions

What people usually ask.

Do I need to be fully vegan to work with you?

No. I work with people who are fully vegan, mostly plant-based, transitioning towards veganism, or simply trying to eat more whole plant foods. We start from where you are and build something that works for your body, goals and lifestyle.

Can you help me check whether my vegan diet is balanced?

Yes. I can review your food diary, usual meals, supplements, training, energy, digestion and key nutrients so we can see what is working well and what may need improving. The goal is not to make your diet perfect, but to make it more structured, satisfying and nutritionally complete.

Can I get enough protein on a vegan diet?

Yes, but it often needs more intention. I’ll help you understand realistic protein targets, useful plant-based protein sources and how to build meals that support energy, fullness, training and recovery.

Which nutrients do I need to think about on a vegan diet?

B12 is essential to supplement on a vegan diet, and nutrients like iron, calcium, iodine, zinc, vitamin D and omega-3 also deserve attention. I can help you understand what matters, where food can help, where supplements may be useful and when testing may be worth discussing with your GP or a suitable practitioner.

Can you help with vegan sports nutrition?

Yes. I have a background in sports nutrition and can help you fuel strength training, endurance work, mountain biking, running, gym sessions, recovery and everyday energy on a vegan or plant-based diet.

Can you help if I feel tired, hungry or snacky on a vegan diet?

Yes. Feeling tired, hungry or constantly snacky can happen when meals are too low in protein, energy, fibre, useful fats or overall structure. I’ll help you look for patterns and build meals that keep you better fuelled.

Can you help me transition to a vegan diet?

Yes. I can help you make the shift in a way that feels realistic and nutritionally sound, including meal ideas, protein sources, key nutrients, supplements and ways to make plant-based meals more satisfying.

Do you offer online vegan nutrition support?

Yes. Sessions can take place online, so you do not need to be local to Norwich or Norfolk to work with me.
