Dorottya Norton, Senior Specialist Eating Disorders Dietitian
I am an experienced specialist dietitian and have been working in the NHS and in private practice, in inpatient and community settings for over 13 years. I have a specialist interest in eating disorders, disordered eating and in complex weight management. I have considerable clinical experience in working with children and adolescents as well as adults in both these fields, and I offer expertise in supporting clients with a variety of complex clinical needs including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), ARFID, neurodiverse diagnoses and physical health complexities. My dietetic practice aims to create a therapeutic environment and is informed by psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotion Focussed Family Therapy to support sustained behaviour change. I offer dietetic consultation as well as a dietetic informed Guided-Self Help approach to treating Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa. I am passionate about empowering my clients and their families to implement realistic and sustainable changes that make a lasting difference for long term well-being and recovery.
