Sophie Corbett
I founded Mental Health Dietitians in 2024, after working in NHS eating disorder services and feeling like I couldn't give my patients the best treatment that they deserved.
I believe that trust, listening, and relationship-building are at the heart of effective nutrition interventions. I want to ensure that my clients feel understood and supported every step of the way, and that they get plenty of time with their dietitian. I am not here to to judge what you eat, I am certainly not the food police! Instead I try to be a friendly face supporting you on your recovery journey, helping you to meet your goals and achieve what feels right for you, and perhaps giving a little push of encouragement when needed.
As a teenager, I struggled with body image and my relationship with food. At 17, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. When I went into remission, I developed a newfound appreciation for my body for what it allowed me to do: dance, laugh with friends, and enjoy nourishing food. A great dietitian played a crucial role in my healing, which inspired me to pursue a career in dietetics to help others navigate their nutrition and relationship with food.
I completed Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Nottingham, graduating with first-class honours in 2020. I began my career in the NHS, working in community dietetics, then specialising in child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) and ED. I later transitioned to a private hospital setting, supporting patients throughout their recovery journeys. I have continued to expand my expertise. I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Body Image Counselling, Guided Self-Help, and Motivational Interviewing. I am particularly interested in body image work and veganism during recovery.
Alongside my clinical work, I am passionate about debunking nutrition misinformation and challenging diet culture. I regularly post about these topics on Instagram (@cornonthecorb) and in my newsletter to help people develop a healthier, more informed relationship with food and their bodies.
While my work can be challenging, I wouldn’t want to do anything else - helping people reclaim their lives from eating disorders is my greatest passion.
