Why It Matters
Only Dietitians Are Legally Protected
In the UK, "nutritionist" is an unprotected title — anyone can use it. Only HCPC-registered dietitians are legally recognised healthcare professionals, held to the same standards as doctors and nurses. Every clinician at The Dietetic Clinic is fully registered and accountable.

What Our Clients Say
“I was seen quickly, and Ghislaine was both personable & well-informed with the latest studies in her field. After seeing various doctors about my digestive issues over the past few years, I finally feel heard rather than dismissed. I feel both grateful & confident that I'm in great hands as her patient.”
Verified Patient
“The dietitian was very thorough, explained everything to me and made a specific recommendation. It was a lot better than I thought as I did not realize dietitians could have such a focus and knowledge of the gut microbiome and probiotics. I thought they were more about simply talking about diet. It's also great that she was very knowledgeable about FODMAP.”
Verified Patient
“The dietician was understanding, not patronising and able to give special tips for me that were tailored to being neurodivergent (ADHD).”
Verified Patient

Verified Patient
“I was very pleased to talk to someone who listened to and understood my problem and came up with ideas about treatment, rather than dismissing my concerns.”
