I’m Dr Erin Louise Bellamy, a Metabolic Mental Health practitioner and researcher. I have a PhD in Psychology, specialising in Ketogenic Diets & Depression from the University of East London. I also have an MSc in Psychiatric Research from the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London. I am a Chartered Psychologist, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and an accredited member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners.

​

Since 2014, I have been working with people across all stages of mental illness and recovery both through in-patient units and remotely online. Since 2017, I have helped hundreds of people use Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy to address a range of physical and mental health issues, including obesity, insulin resistance, food addiction, depression, and bipolar disorder. What do each of these illnesses have in common? I believe they are all metabolic illnesses of the body and brain.

My aim is to help people improve both their mental and physical health. I achieve this by providing education and support to initiate Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy through therapeutic carbohydrate restriction in a way that is simple and can be sustained as a lifestyle. Working with people of all ages and cultures has equipped me with the skills to support individuals on their journey to better health. ​

My passion lies in understanding how we can use Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy, to support and improve many areas of our health, particularly our mental well-being. For some people, the improvements are like night and day, and for others it is another tool in the toolbox on the road to recovery. 

I have seen first-hand, the difficulties and frustrations of those struggling with their mental health, and fortunately, I have witnessed the powerful positive impact Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy can have on both physical and mental well-being. I want everyone who is suffering to have the opportunity to try this approach for themselves, so it is crucial that it is implemented correctly for the best chance of success and sustainability long-term.

 
I will guide you on this journey and help you navigate the obstacles and challenges you will face along the path to better health. I will work with you and your healthcare team, and I will bring in or refer you to other professionals if you need support beyond what I can offer. Whether you are here to get started with Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy, or you are here seeking support and guidance, I can help. I look forward to working with you,
