Mrs Maria Kolotourou
About Me
Dietitian - Nutritionist, BSc (Hons), MSc, RD
I am a registered dietitian specialising in chronic dieting and emotional eating. I offer evidence-based, compassionate, and trauma-informed care through a non-diet approach rooted in intuitive eating principles. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Clinical Lead in Eating Disorders within the NHS, bringing a wealth of clinical experience to my one-to-one work.
I graduated with distinction from Harokopio University in Athens with a BSc (Hons) in Dietetics & Nutritional Science (2004), and from King’s College London with MSc in Nutrition (2005). I have completed the Intuitive Eating Pro Skills Training with Evelyn Tribole, and I am currently undertaking Body Image Training to further support my clients in developing a healthier relationship with their bodies. I have also completed several accredited training courses in eating disorders.
Since moving to the UK with my family in 2018, I have been providing online coaching to clients across the UK, Greece, and internationally. I have a deep appreciation for the Mediterranean diet and love helping clients incorporate its principles into a balanced, intuitive approach to eating. Before relocating, I ran a busy private practice in Athens for 10 years and also worked as a paediatric dietitian at the Obesity Clinic of Aghia Sophia Children’s Hospital. I am also FODMAP trained, having completed Monash University’s ‘Low FODMAP Diet for IBS’ online course.
My career started in 2004 with the MEND Programme at the UCL Institute of Child Health, and I remain one of the most long-standing members of the MEND international team. I am an active media writer and spokesperson, and a co-author of several peer-reviewed publications. With a strong background in research consultancy, I strive to integrate the latest academic evidence into my practice and I am committed to continuous professional development—regularly engaging in training, supervision, and research to ensure I provide the highest standard of care.
