Online private dietitian clinic

Expert dietitian appointments tailored to your needs and preferences.

Personalised nutrition support that works for you

Our online private dietitian clinic provides one-to-one appointments with a Registered Dietitian for people across Ireland. Get personalised, evidence-based nutrition advice from home, tailored to your health, eating habits and everyday life.

Didi is due to take maternity leave from clinical appointments from November 2026. Registered Dietitian Catheryn Loach will be looking after the clinic appointments while Didi continues to manage the clinic and will return to seeing patients in 2027. Existing patients can continue their care with Catheryn without needing to start again.

What nutrition concerns can we help you with?

Weight management

Our dietitians provide supportive, non-judgemental nutrition advice for weight management, healthy eating and long-term health.

Rather than restrictive diets or one-size-fits-all plans, we can help you explore your eating patterns, health needs and goals and find realistic changes that fit your life.

Gut Health

Looking for a dietitian for IBS or digestive problems? We provide personalised nutrition support for IBS (including low FODMAP), constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, reflux, coeliac disease and other gut health concerns.
Your dietitian can help you explore how food and eating patterns may be affecting your symptoms and find practical changes that work for you.

Heart health and high cholesterol

A dietitian can help you make practical changes to what you eat to support your heart health.

We provide personalised nutrition advice for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and cardiovascular health, based around your individual health needs and the foods you enjoy.

Nutrition for neurological conditions

We provide dietitian support for people living with neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other conditions that can affect appetite, eating, swallowing or nutrition.

Your nutrition advice will be tailored to your condition, symptoms and individual needs.

Healthy ageing and nutrition for older adults

Nutrition needs can change as we get older. A dietitian can support older adults with eating well, maintaining strength, poor appetite, unplanned weight loss and meeting changing nutrition needs.

We can also work with family members or carers where appropriate.

Poor appetite and unplanned weight loss

If you’re eating less than usual, have a poor appetite or are losing weight without meaning to, a dietitian can help.

We can help you find manageable ways to eat enough energy, protein and other nutrients while taking your health, appetite and food preferences into account.

Healthy eating and nutrition advice

Confused by conflicting nutrition advice? Our dietitians can help you understand what matters for your health and find realistic ways to eat well without needing a perfect diet.

Your advice will be personalised to your health, eating habits, lifestyle and goals.

Vegetarian, vegan and plant-based diets

Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan or simply want to eat more plant-based foods, a dietitian can help you make sure you’re getting the nutrition you need.

We can provide personalised advice on protein, iron, vitamin B12, calcium and other nutrients while helping you find an approach that works for you.

Intuitive eating and your relationship with food

Looking for support with intuitive eating or your relationship with food? We can help you explore hunger and fullness cues, eating habits and your feelings around food in a supportive, non-judgemental way.

The focus is on helping you develop an approach to eating that supports both your health and your relationship with food.

And more!

It is tough to make changes to our diet and lifestyle on your own.

Busy schedules, competing priorities and an overwhelming range of competing diets online.

You have obstacles to eating healthily that are UNIQUE to YOU.

No standard nutrition plan or diet has worked because it just didn’t fit into your life and didn’t understand your struggles.

What people say about the Didititian clinic

For the first time in my life, diet is no longer a churn of lenghty measuring of boring food. Didi doesn't care only to keep you healthy, but also to keep you motivated. Her suggestions are actionable and easy to adopt; plus her explanations made me way more sensitive to what happens in my belly. 
Massimo
Client with Didi for several years
I found it extremely useful. The recommendations and resources are a god send. They are helping us deliver the best quality of life we can at this stage of my mothers life.

Virtual appointment with carer for mother with dementia
Didi helped me tackle my bloating and IBS. She was professional and taught me a lot about how to listen to my gut and how to eat in a way to reduce my bloating. She was always happy to answer my questions and I was glad that I felt that nothing was too embarassing to discuss. She made me feel welcome and listened to.
Ellen
Client who attended online clinic sessions for gut health
 I really enjoyed my initial consultation with Didi. She found what knowledge I already had and built on that and decided a plan to show me how to best practice that. I am really looking forward to our next session to really delve in to the other areas of healthy eating.

Found the session very useful and it’s really made me think about how I approach my diet and also to manage my expectations.

I am enjoying our meetings and I’m appreciating the results too. Thanks Didi.
Jane
Virtual client for gut health sessions
I definitely would recommend to anyone interested in changing eating habits. I like the non-judgemental long-term approach as opposed to focussing on weight-loss and a non-sustainable approach.
Anonymous
Client who completed in-person Dublin-based weight-management programme
Will definitely by recommending Didi to my friends. Learned so much that I'm doing wrong and can't wait to change it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Your first appointment is a 60-minute online consultation.

Your dietitian will take time to understand your health, what you currently eat, any symptoms or concerns, your lifestyle and what you would like support with. Together, you’ll agree on practical next steps that are tailored to you.

After your appointment, you’ll receive a follow-up email summarising the main recommendations and any useful resources discussed.

Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes and give you time to review how things have been going since your first session.

You and your dietitian can discuss what has worked well, any changes in your symptoms or health, questions that have come up, and anything you have found difficult to put into practice. Your advice can then be adjusted to suit your needs and next steps.

You’ll receive an email afterwards with any updated recommendations or resources discussed during your appointment.

  • An initial 60-minute consultation costs €99.

  • Follow-up appointments are €60 for 30 minutes. Your dietitian will discuss whether follow-up support may be helpful and when to arrange it.

Our dietitians support people with a wide range of nutrition and health concerns, including IBS and gut health, healthy eating, weight management, women’s health, neurological conditions, vegetarian and vegan diets, healthy ageing, poor appetite and unplanned weight loss.

We don’t typically use one-size-fits-all meal plans.

It depends on your individual needs and what you would like support with.

Some people find one appointment is enough, while others benefit from ongoing support. Your dietitian can discuss this with you during your first appointment. There is no requirement to book a set number of sessions.
