Mental Health and Neurodivergence Dietitian Services

Provided by an Accredited Practising Dietitian

How We Can Help

At WHAM, we understand that mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and mood disorders can have a significant impact on eating and nutrition. This might include emotional barriers to food, changes in appetite, or difficulties with meal planning and decision-making.

We also recognise that neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, can affect eating in different ways. Be it sensory sensitivities, food aversions, and challenges with recognising hunger and fullness cues can all make meeting nutritional needs more complex.

Whatever your unique challenges may be, we are here to provide compassionate and individualised support to help you meet your nutritional needs and goals.

What We Support

How we can support you

  • Managing a loss of appetite or changes in appetite as result of medications or mental health conditions

  • Navigating food sensitivities (e.g., texture or taste aversions) and sensory processing difficulties that can make eating challenging

  • Providing nutritional guidance to ensure balanced nourishment even when food intake is limited

  • Encouraging positive and flexible eating habits that respect your body’s unique needs and signals

Our Approach

At WHAM, we recognise that every individual is different. Whether it’s a mental health concern or neurodivergence, we take a holistic, trauma-informed approach that considers both the emotional and physical aspects of eating. We create a safe, non-judgmental space to support you in navigating food-related challenges with respect for your body and mind. We aim to support autonomy in eating, while being flexible and understanding of your unique experiences.
