At ION we provide training for those wishing to become a qualified nutritional therapist. As part of the Institutes' Nutritional Therapy Diploma Course, our students have to undergo a number of clinical practice consultations before they can complete the course and become fully qualified to practice. 

In order to meet this requirement ION also operates a Teaching Clinic that runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays during the academic year

How does a student consultation differ from a consultation with a qualifed therapist?

The Teaching Clinic is conducted in the same environment as a professional consultation and is observed by a tutor who is also a fully qualified Nutritional Therapy practitioner.  There is a camera link to other observing students in an adjacent room. 

Consultations at the Teaching Clinic are available to members of the public and are at a reduced price.  Continuing with our low-cost ethos, if supplements or laboratory tests are suggested or recommended as part of your consultation, you will be able to purchase supplements at a discounted price from a local retail outlet, should you wish to do so.  Similarly, any laboratory tests will be charged for at the cost price.

Cost

• A student consultation includes the initial consultation, which lasts for one-hour and an additional half-hour follow-up consultation one month later, at a fee of £30.00. 
• There is also an option of a one-hour initial consultation with two additional half-hour follow-up consultations, one a month later and one two months later, at a fee of £45.00.
