About Me

Dietitian - Nutritionist, BSc (Hons), MSc, RD

I am a registered dietitian with over 20 years of experience, specialising in women’s health across the lifespan, chronic dieting, emotional eating. I am passionate about helping individuals cultivate a healthier relationship with food, offering compassionate, evidence-based care that supports long-term wellbeing. Through a non-diet approach rooted in intuitive eating principles and the Mediterranean diet, I provide trauma-informed, personalised care. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Clinical Lead in Eating Disorders within the NHS, bringing a wealth of clinical expertise and insight into my one-to-one work.

I graduated with distinction from both Harokopio University in Athens and King’s College London. I have completed the Intuitive Eating Pro Skills Training with Evelyn Tribole, and I am currently undertaking Body Image Training to further support my clients in developing a healthier relationship with their bodies. I have also completed several accredited training courses in eating disorders, as well as the Monash University’s Low FODMAP for IBS course.

Since moving to the UK with my family in 2018, I have been providing online nutrition coaching to clients across the UK, Greece, and internationally. Before relocating, I ran a busy private practice in Athens for 10 years and also worked as a paediatric dietitian at the Obesity Clinic of Aghia Sophia Children’s Hospital.

My career started in 2004 with the MEND Programme at the UCL Institute of Child Health, and I remain one of the most long-standing members of the MEND international team. I am an active media writer and spokesperson, and a co-author of several peer-reviewed publications. With a strong background in research consultancy, I strive to integrate the latest academic evidence into my practice and I am committed to continuous professional development—regularly engaging in training, supervision, and research to ensure I provide the highest standard of care.
