I'm a Doctor of Human Nutrition and Dietetics with seven years of clinical experience across hospital, community, and digital settings. I'm HCPC-registered and a member of the British Dietetic Association.

My career has taken me from leading dietetic care for critically ill adults and children in the ICU and oncology wards of one of Pakistan's leading hospitals, to NHS clinical work in the United Kingdom — supporting patients with diabetes, gastrointestinal conditions, hypertension, and malnutrition.

Along the way I've trained in paediatric, neonatal, renal, eating disorders, and women's health nutrition. I bring all of it into the private consultations I offer through Abham Diets.

Why I do this work

Nutrition isn't just about food. It's about culture, family, finances, and the quiet pressures we all live with. I grew up watching the women in my family manage diabetes, anaemia, and pregnancy on diets shaped by tradition — sometimes well, sometimes not. I became a dietitian because I wanted to bridge the gap between clinical evidence and real kitchens, real households, real lives.

My approach

I practise evidence-based dietetics, which means every recommendation I make is grounded in current clinical research and aligned with guidance from bodies like NICE, the BDA, and the NHS. But evidence on its own doesn't change lives — application does. So I spend a lot of our time together listening: to your routine, your culture, your budget, your barriers. The plan we build is yours, not a printout.

Continuing Professional Development

I'm committed to staying current with the evolving science of nutrition. Recent specialist training includes:

Languages

I offer consultations in English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Saraiki.

Our service

Abham Diets provides online nutrition and dietetic support. Services are delivered according to the programme selected and are intended to provide personalised nutrition guidance within the dietitian's professional scope of practice.

Discovery call and booking

The complimentary 15-minute discovery call is an initial conversation with our management team. It is used to understand your goals, answer initial questions and guide you towards a suitable programme. It is not a substitute for a full dietetic consultation or an emergency medical assessment.

Payment and access

After the discovery call, the management team will confirm the recommended programme and payment instructions. One-to-one access to the dietitian begins after the selected programme has been confirmed and payment has been received, subject to the programme terms.

Professional care

Nutrition advice is personalised to the information available at the time of assessment. You should provide accurate and relevant information about your health, medication, allergies and dietary needs. Abham Diets does not replace emergency medical care, and urgent symptoms should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Client responsibilities

Clients are responsible for attending agreed appointments, responding to reasonable requests for information and following programme instructions. Outcomes vary between individuals and no specific health or weight outcome can be guaranteed.

Changes to these terms

We may update these website terms from time to time. The terms applicable to a purchased programme will be those communicated to you at the time of purchase, subject to applicable consumer and professional rights.

Statutory rights

Nothing in these terms is intended to remove or limit any legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

Our standard cancellation policy

If you change your mind after purchasing a programme, please contact us as soon as possible at abhamdiets@gmail.com.

Where no personalised dietetic work or programme service has started, Abham Diets may offer a 50% refund when cancellation is requested within 24 hours of payment. After 24 hours, refunds are generally not available once the programme or personalised work has started.

Important consumer rights

This policy does not remove any statutory cancellation, refund or consumer rights that apply to you. In particular, where UK distance-contract rules apply, consumers may have a 14-day cancellation period for services, subject to the legal exceptions and requirements that apply when a service is requested to begin during that period. If a service has already begun at the customer's express request, any refund may take account of the service already supplied. We will handle cancellations in accordance with applicable law.

If we cancel

If we are unable to provide a programme that you have paid for, we will discuss an appropriate alternative or refund in accordance with the circumstances and applicable law.

How to cancel

Send your cancellation request to abhamdiets@gmail.com or contact us through WhatsApp on +44 7498 799175. Please include your name and the programme you purchased.
