Approach: Evidence-based, non-judgmental, patient-centred, and holistic. Uses behaviour change techniques and motivational interviewing. Focuses on small, achievable incremental goals rather than large or overwhelming changes. Avoids restrictive eating or fad diets; promotes a positive relationship with food and balance/moderation.
