Personalised Support for Managing Your Weight Gain During Menopause

If changes in your weight, appetite or eating have left you unsure what would actually be helpful to do differently, we can start by working out what’s happening for you and where it makes sense to focus.

I offer one-to-one dietetic support for women during perimenopause and menopause, helping you identify the factors that may be influencing your weight and health and the changes that are most relevant for you.

Through my STABLE approach, we work together over a series of one-to-one sessions to build the nutrition, practical and behavioural skills you need. The focus is on making changes that work in everyday life and helping you become increasingly confident making decisions
for yourself.

Women come to me from different starting points.

Perhaps you're already making lots of nutritious choices...

You may be eating what feels like a healthy diet and putting considerable effort into managing your weight, but you're not sure why it isn't having the effect you expected — or what would actually be helpful to change.

Or perhaps nutrition feels completely confusing.

There is so much conflicting information about protein, carbohydrates, fasting, calories and what to eat during menopause that it can be difficult to know what is relevant to you or where to begin.

Different starting points, but the same need: to understand what's happening for you and where it makes sense to start.

That’s why our work together begins by looking at your eating patterns, appetite, health and everyday life, rather than assuming what you need or giving you a generic plan to follow.


When you're not sure what would be helpful to eat — or what you need to change

How the STABLE approach works

1. Understand what’s driving things

We start by looking at your eating patterns, appetite, lifestyle and health, including relevant
medical conditions, medications and blood results where appropriate. 

If you’re managing raised cholesterol or blood glucose, high blood pressure or another health condition, we take these into account. We can also consider your changing nutrition needs and longer-term health as you get older, including where family history of conditions
such as heart disease or type 2 diabetes is important to you.

This helps us support your weight goals alongside your current and longer-term health.

2. Build strong nutrition foundations

We focus on the nutrition skills most relevant to you. This often starts with building meals that keep you comfortably satisfied, support steadier energy and help you work towards your weight and metabolic health goals. 

Where there are specific health concerns or longer-term health priorities, we can adapt your nutrition to support these too — without making eating feel unnecessarily complicated.

3. Make it work everyday

We make those changes practical for your life — whether that means busy days, shopping and meal planning, eating away from home, holidays or times when your usual routine changes.

Rather than changing everything at once, we focus on what is likely to make the most meaningful difference and build from there.

4. Understand your appetite and eating pattern 

You’ll develop a better understanding of your own hunger, appetite and eating patterns.

Where relevant, we can explore cravings, emotional eating or situations where you find yourself eating for reasons other than physical hunger — helping you recognise what’s happening and develop a wider range of ways to respond.

5. Build confidence to adapt

The aim is not to make you dependent on a plan — or on me.

As your understanding and skills develop, we work towards you being able to make confident decisions, adapt when circumstances change and know what to come back to when things don’t go to plan.

STABLE gives our work together structure without making it rigid. There are core nutrition and practical skills that are helpful for most women, but where we start and what we focus on will depend on you.

Before we meet

Before your first consultation, I’ll ask you to complete a detailed questionnaire and keep a short record of your usual eating, including photographs of your meals. I know sharing what you eat can feel uncomfortable, especially if you’ve spent a long time feeling that you
ought to be doing something differently. There’s no judgement here. The record helps me understand what eating looks like for you in everyday life.

I look carefully at this before we meet so I can understand your typical meals and eating patterns, what you’re already doing well and where changes may be most useful. This can be particularly valuable if you feel you’re already making lots of nutritious choices but have become stuck or aren’t seeing the changes you expected.

Your first consultation — 60 minutes

Your first consultation gives us time to explore what matters most to you, what you’d like to change and what you would like to be different as a result of working together.

We’ll bring this together with what I’ve learned from your questionnaire and food record to agree where it makes sense to start.

You’ll receive a short, personalised Clarity Report summarising what may be influencing your weight and health, what we’ve identified as your priorities and why we’re starting there.

Rather than trying to change everything at once, we’ll agree a clear and manageable first step. For some women, that means beginning with one meal and building from there.

Putting your first changes into practice

You won’t be left to work out how to make those changes on your own.  Whether you enjoy cooking and meal prepping or have very little time and rely more on supermarket options and convenient meals, we work with what is realistic for you.

Where helpful, I’ll give you starter meal ideas and recipes so you have practical examples to try. You'l also have access to my meal builders, which help you understand the principles behind putting together satisfying, balanced meals rather than simply following a set of
recipes.

As you become familiar with the principles, you can adapt meals you already enjoy, create new combinations and make confident choices for yourself.

Follow-up consultations — 45 minutes

Follow-up sessions give us time to look at what happened when you put the changes into practice — what’s working, what you’re noticing and anything that has been more difficult than expected.

We can troubleshoot barriers, adapt what you’re doing and decide together what makes sense to focus on next. As one change becomes easier and more established, we can build on it gradually, rather than continually adding more things to think about.

Support between sessions

Questions often come up once you start putting things into practice, so you can contact me by email or WhatsApp for quick questions or clarification between consultations.

You’ll also receive resources selected according to what is relevant to you at that point, rather than being given a large amount of information to work through all at once.

Becoming increasingly confident on your own

Initially, you may need more guidance and practical examples. Over time, the emphasis shifts towards understanding why the changes work and how to adapt them for yourself.

The aim is for you to become increasingly confident making decisions about your food and eating — without needing another set of rules or a dietitian beside you.

Your support is personalised from the start. We begin by understanding where you are now, what matters to you and what may be most useful to change, then build from there at a manageable pace.

Support takes place over a series of sessions, giving us time to put changes into practice, learn from what happens and adapt as we go.

Support tailored to what you need 

How much support is helpful will vary from person to person.

Some women mainly need clarity and practical nutrition skills they can start using straight away. Others benefit from more ongoing support to work through challenges, build habits and develop strategies for real-life situations.

For example, you may be looking primarily for help with your meals and nutrition — or you may also want support with areas such as appetite and cravings, emotional eating, eating away from home, maintaining changes when life gets busy, or managing nutrition alongside particular health concerns.

You don’t need to decide how much support you need before getting in touch. During your free 20-minute discovery call, we can talk about what’s been happening, what you’d like help with and what level of support is likely to be the best fit.


What progress can look like

As we work together, progress might also look like:


If managing your weight is one of your goals, we’ll keep that in view. But the number on the scales is only one way of noticing change — and it may not be the first thing to shift.

  • Meals keeping you comfortably satisfied for longer, with less time spent thinking about food between meals

  • Steadier energy through the day, with fewer dips that leave you reaching for something to keep you going

  • Understanding changes in your hunger or cravings and feeling better able to respond to them

  • Improved digestion or gut comfort, where this has been an issue for you

  • Changes in weight, waist measurement or how your clothes fit over time

  • Improvements in health markers, such as cholesterol, blood glucose or blood pressure, where these are relevant

  • Feeling more confident around food, with less second-guessing about what would be helpful to eat

  • Being able to make choices that work for you in different situations, without feeling you need to follow a plan perfectly


The measures that matter will be different for each woman. At the beginning, we’ll agree what progress means for you, so we can notice what’s changing, review what isn’t and adjust our focus as we go.

Client Experiences

“I was really struggling to lose weight since turning 40. Despite exercising and eating healthily, I couldn’t seem to lose weight … Clare has helped me change my relationship with food. I don’t feel like I’m on a diet; I just know how to fuel my body. I feel energised, my digestion has improved and the inches are now disappearing.”

Here’s How I Have Helped Past Clients 

“I always felt like I had no control over the cravings I had, but Clare has taught me how to gain control through managing my physical hunger and putting strategies in place for emotional hunger … It’s become behaviour rather than hard work.”

“I felt that you really listened to my issues and concerns and tailored the diet solution around me and my lifestyle. I also found the handouts and follow-up emails super helpful to refer back to … I have seen other dietitians in the past, and none of them have impacted my behaviour around food and diet like you have.”

1. What if I already eat healthily but my weight isn't shifting?

This is a common reason women come to me. We’ll look at your eating patterns, appetite, health and daily routine to understand what may be influencing your weight. We can build on what’s already working and identify where a change might help.

2.  Will I have to cut out foods or ignore my hunger?
2. Will I have to cut out foods or ignore my hunger?

3. Will you give me a meal plan to follow?

I’ll give you practical direction, meal ideas and structure where these would be helpful. We’ll make them fit the foods you enjoy and the time you have available. I’ll explain why we’re making those choices so you can adapt them yourself.

4.  Can you help if I have other health concerns?
4. Can you help if I have other health concerns?

Yes. All consultations take place online, so we can work together wherever you are in the UK.

6. How much does it cost?
6. How much does it cost?

I work with clients over a series of sessions rather than offering one-off appointments. One session is rarely enough time to understand what’s happening, build useful nutrition skills and put changes into practice. Follow-up sessions give us the chance to see what’s working and make adjustments.

My fixed-price packages are 4 sessions for £375, 7 sessions for £630 and 12 sessions for £1,050. You don’t need to choose a package before we speak. During your free discovery call, we can talk through what you’d like help with and decide together which amount of support feels right for you.
