Lifestyle medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention, management, and reversal of chronic diseases through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

These interventions include:

• optimising nutrition;

• physical activity;

• sleep;

• stress management;

• healthy relationships and

• the avoidance of harmful behaviours like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption

Lifestyle medicine emphasises the role of healthy habits and choices in achieving and maintaining optimal health, rather than relying solely on medications or procedures. It’s about empowering individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing through sustainable, everyday practices that improve overall quality of life.

• pre-diabetes/ type 2 diabetes mellitus

• obesity and fatty liver

• sleep disturbance

• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Transformational coaching is a form of coaching that focuses on deep, meaningful personal growth and transformation.

It helps individuals uncover and overcome limiting beliefs, habits, and mindsets, empowering them to make lasting changes in their lives. The goal of transformational coaching is not just to set goals or achieve short-term success, but to facilitate a shift in how a person thinks, feels, and behaves—leading to a greater sense of fulfilment.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fight against them.

It helps people increase psychological flexibility by teaching them to accept difficult emotions, commit to meaningful actions aligned with their values, and stay present in the moment.

ACT aims to reduce suffering by promoting acceptance, mindfulness, and behavioural change, enabling individuals to live a more fulfilling life despite challenges.

While medication can be used where appropriate, my goal is to support sustainable lifestyle changes that reduce your reliance on it — ideally leading to lower doses or none at all.

Good question.
As an NHS GP, I’ve seen the value of the system — but also how time constraints can limit what we explore.

My approach gives us the time and space to really understand what’s going on beneath the surface. It’s not just about managing symptoms — it’s about supporting your overall wellbeing.

With over 20 years of medical experience, I combine clinical expertise with Transformational Coaching and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). This unique blend allows me to support your physical, mental, emotional, and social health in a truly integrated way — because real, lasting change starts with understanding the whole you.

I would encourage you to continue seeing your regular GP for routine medical care — I’m happy to work alongside them and, with your consent, can communicate to ensure joined-up care.
