Nutritional Guidance To Help With Restrictive Eating, Selective Diets And Nutritional Deficiencies

Children with feeding difficulties or very limited diets may be at higher risk of nutritional deficiencies, especially if they’re avoiding whole food groups, relying on only a few safe foods, or struggling with mealtimes due to sensory challenges or anxiety.

I provide tailored, evidence-based advice to help identify and fill any nutrient gaps without pressure or overwhelm. Nutritional therapy isn’t about forcing new foods; it’s about making sure your child gets what they need to grow, develop, and feel their best, even if their food repertoire is small.

​

​I’ll work with you to assess their current intake, explore gentle changes and, where needed, guide you on supplements, fortified options, or simple swaps that support nutritional adequacy.

SOS Feeding Therapy

As a trained SOS Feeding Therapist, I offer structured, evidence-based support using the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding.

 

This can include practical strategies that families can implement at home, or one-to-one SOS feeding therapy sessions where appropriate.

​

Sessions are child-led and adapted to your young person’s developmental stage, sensory profile and individual interests.

 

The approach is grounded in “play with a purpose”  gently building confidence, tolerance and food acceptance without pressure or force, while maintaining safety and trust.
