Pixie Turner
My name is Pixie, I’m a registered nutritionist (RNutr) (MSc), psychotherapist (MBACP), and science communicator.
As a psychotherapist and nutrition counsellor, I specialise in disordered eating, intuitive eating, body image work, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I integrate nutrition and psychotherapy, discussing both food and emotions to get a more complete understanding of a person. My overall aim is to help improve someone’s relationship with both food and themselves. I am non-diet, person-centred, and trauma-informed in my practice.
Early in my career I found it challenging to access appropriate training aimed at nutrition professionals in private practice, which has ignited a passion in filling those gaps by offering courses, supervision, and shadowing.
My science communication work extends across several platforms: social media, teaching, public speaking, writing, media work, and my podcast ‘In Bad Taste’.
