Further Background

Qualifications: Rachael Colley BSc (Hons), PGCE, Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics, RD

Independent Specialist Dietitian with expertise in weight management, disordered eating, long-term inflammatory conditions and specialist practice in learning disabilities.


Supports individuals and services by applying clinical dietetic and behaviour change expertise to create clear, realistic dietary strategies.  Known for steady clinical judgement and thoughtful problem-solving bringing empathy, calm direction, and steady guidance to complex situations.


Whether working one-to-one, designing services, or delivering education and training, her skills and experience often bring a lateral thinking approach.


Living with Multiple Sclerosis has given me a personal understanding of the ups and downs of a long-haul health journey — the frustration, the fatigue and the need to keep finding ways forward when things don’t go to plan. I hope that experience helps me support you on your own long-haul journey with weight management or inflammatory conditions.


As a dietitian, I have worked as an NHS Learning Disabilities Dietitian, NHS Weight Management dietitian and the Lead Long Covid dietitian for the BANES, Swindon and Wiltshire NHS trusts.


Now a fully freelance dietitian I can assist you where you either do not yet qualify for NHS weight management programmes or you simply one to have a one to one dietetic relationship outside the NHS.
