Raising Confident Eaters
Gentle, personalised support for parents of fussy eaters from a children’s dietitian who truly gets it.
If you’re here, you might be
Dreading mealtimes because they always end in tears (yours or theirs)?
Worried your child isn’t eating enough – or enough of the right things?
Exhausted from trying everything Google, Instagram and your health visitor suggests?
Feeling guilty, judged, or like you’ve somehow “failed” as a parent?
I get it – because I’ve been there too.
I’m a registered children’s dietitian with over 10 years of experience, and a mum who’s lived through the anxiety and frustration of fussy eating.
That’s why I created Dietitian With A Difference – to offer families the kind of support I wish I’d had: calm, compassionate, evidence-based help that actually works in real life.

How I Can Help
Raising Confident Eaters
Raising Confident Eaters is my signature 1-2-1 package, designed to support parents of fussy eaters, children with sensory challenges, or those navigating ARFID.
You’ll get tailored, step-by-step support to help your child feel safer around food, reduce mealtime stress, and make gentle progress at a pace that feels right for your family.
One-to-One Consultations
Sometimes you just need a listening ear, expert advice, and a clear path forward without committing to a full programme.
My 1-2-1 consultations are ideal if you want support on a specific concern, like food allergies, weaning or growth concerns. You can book a one-off session or a short package with follow-up support, depending on what you need.
I have been working with Emma for nearly 8 months and I can honestly say she has been the most supportive consistent professional, in a long list of professionals working with my son.
He has a very complex relationship with food and unfortunately now requires a lot of intervention. Emma has always listened, guided and advocated for him to schools and to GP’s. We were on the verge of hospital admissions and potentially tube feeding before Emma so I’m so grateful to have her helping us!!
Would recommend her to ANYONE who is struggling with their child’s eating and drinking, she really is worth her weight in gold.
“I have been working with Emma for the last 9 months as I was concerned about my 4 year olds restrictive range of foods. Emma has given us such excellent support and advice to ensure my little boy has all the nutrients and calories he needs whilst we work on expanding his range of foods. Emma is non judgemental and very understanding and supportive of the challenges parents may face getting their little ones to eat.”
I cannot recommend Emma enough for anyone dealing with fussy eating and nutritional challenges in their children. My 13-year-old had been struggling with fussy eating habits and iron deficiency for a while, and despite my best efforts, it was difficult to ensure she was getting the right nutrients.
From the very first consultation, Emma put both of us at ease. She took the time to understand our situation in a non-judgmental and supportive way. Emma gave us so many great ideas for iron-rich foods and strategies to help her overcome her fears around trying new foods such as food chaining.
The ongoing support and encouragement from Emma over several months has made all the difference.
I’m beyond grateful for the positive impact Emma has had on her health and well-being. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective dietitian, Emma is the one to go to!
Hi, I’m Emma,
I’m a registered children’s dietitian with over a decade of experience and a mum who’s lived through the stress of fussy eating first-hand. I know how emotional mealtimes can be, and how hard it is to know what’s “normal.”
I understand every child is different. Every family is unique. And feeding challenges are never just about food.
That’s why my approach combines professional expertise with real-life empathy. I know how important it is to feel supported, not judged.
Whether you’re navigating fussy eating, ARFID, sensory issues or just mealtime battles, I’ll meet you where you’re at – with calm, compassionate guidance tailored to your child.
