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.

Click here to check if your health professional or the health professional you are about to use is registered. You will need to enter both profession and surname.
