Nutrition Counselling Corner

In this episode, I'm sharing a roundtable discussion recorded with Practify Founder Gilad Janet and Jo White Business Coach and Strategist. It was a great conversation and one that made me want to share it with you all. 
We unpack three common misconceptions:
• "It's hard to get clients through social media" • "You can't build a profitable practice within an insurance model" • "If clients aren't changing, it means they're not motivated"
We explore what's actually driving these challenges in practice, and I share my perspective on client retention and structuring consults to better support behaviour change.

In this episode, Stephanie explores why counselling skills don't feel intuitive for most dietitians and why that has nothing to do with your intelligence, competence, or care for your clients.She unpacks the belief that quietly holds so many dietitians back — "I should be able to figure this out on my own" — and how our training leaves us unprepared for the real work of guiding behaviour change. 
Through personal experience and real client stories, Stephanie breaks down the gap between education and execution, the psychology behind why counselling feels so hard, and what actually helps dietitians feel grounded, confident, and capable in behaviour-change conversations.
You'll walk away with clarity, reassurance, and permission to stop doing this alone.

Many dietitians quietly admit to dreading certain client sessions — but it doesn't have to stay that way. In this episode, Stephanie shares the four main reasons dietitians dread their sessions, from overcompensating when clients don't change to struggling with boundaries, challenging clients, and the "I know what to do, I just need to do it" consults. You'll walk away with practical strategies to shift from dread to confidence, so you can enjoy your work and feel proud of the impact you're making.
