Before the first conversation

Bring what helps. Leave room to ask.

Preparation should make a discussion easier. You can begin with a broad question and ask how the practitioner works before sharing any detailed information.

A short opening can be enough

“I would like to talk about how food fits into my working week. I am not sure which kind of support would suit that question. Could you explain your approach?”

This is sample wording for a general enquiry. Change it to match your own context and the kind of conversation you want.

Ask for a clear agreement

The purpose: What is the conversation intended to help clarify?
The information: What does the practitioner need, and how should it be shared?
The format: How will access, time and follow-up be arranged?
The next step: Who will do what after the conversation?
