If you’re using your private health insurance to cover for part of the fees, it’s best to check with your provider in advance. If you’re self-paying, no referral is needed.

My clinic is conveniently located at the Health Village Esher, 13 Church Street, Esher KT10 8QS. Once your appointment is confirmed, I’ll provide a map and details about parking.

During this appointment, we will: Discuss your health history Including medical conditions, medications, previous diets, and any current concerns. Explore your lifestyle and eating habits Such as work schedule, stress levels, cultural preferences, food access, and relationship with food. Clarify your goals Whether you’re seeking support for weight management, gut health, chronic conditions, intuitive eating, or overall wellbeing. Review relevant measurements or results This may include blood test results, body composition (if appropriate), or symptom patterns. Develop an initial nutrition plan You’ll leave with practical, personalised recommendations you can start using straight away. Ask questions and plan next steps We’ll talk through follow-up options and what ongoing support might look like. The session is non-judgemental, evidence-based, and tailored to your needs. No restrictive meal plans—just realistic strategies that fit your life.

This varies depending on your goals and needs. Some clients benefit from a single session, while others prefer ongoing support. Everyone is different!

Yes — Alice Dietitian is a registered provider with leading UK insurers. Please note that reimbursement levels vary and may not cover the full consultation fee. Any shortfall is payable by the client. I am recognised by: Bupa Aviva AXA Vitality WPA. Will my insurance cover the full cost? In most cases, insurance contributes towards the fee but does not cover it in full. Reimbursement levels vary depending on your policy. Any difference between your insurer’s reimbursement and the consultation fee is payable by you. This is very common in private healthcare and ensures you still receive specialist, high-quality care. How do I check what my insurance covers? Before booking, we recommend contacting your insurer and asking: Do I have outpatient dietetic cover? How many sessions am I entitled to? What is the reimbursement amount per session? Do I need a referral or pre-authorisation code? This helps avoid any unexpected costs. Do I need to pay upfront? Yes — consultations are typically paid in full, and you can then claim reimbursement from your insurer. This keeps the process simple and avoids delays in your care. Can you bill my insurance directly? In some cases, yes. However: Not all insurers allow direct billing Any shortfall remains your responsibility If a claim is declined, the fee is payable by you We’ll guide you through the best option based on your policy. What happens if my insurance doesn’t cover it? You’re still very welcome to proceed as a self-paying client. Many clients choose to continue privately to get the level of support they need — especially for complex or long-standing gut issues. Please note Coverage varies depending on your policy Any excess or shortfall not covered by your insurer remains your responsibility.
