Therapists working in weight management

If you are looking for professional support we recommend that you check the therapist is a registered health professional using the Health Professions Council register.

The Health Professions Council was set up to protect your health and wellbeing. To do this, they keep a register of health professionals who meet standards for their training, professional skills, behaviour and health.
