Professional statement
Marialice Albertini is a HCPC-registered dietitian in Esher, who specialises in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, and acid reflux, alongside constipation, chronic diarrhoea, coeliac disease, metabolic syndrome, and malnutrition. She practises at Alice Dietician where she is founder and lead dietician, and is a dietitian for Kingston Primary Care Network (NHS).
With over a decade of clinical experience within the NHS, Ms Albertini's practice is dedicated to providing specialist support for adults facing complex digestive and metabolic challenges, particularly when previous advice has failed to resolve their symptoms. She's also proficient in managing weight loss pathways, including bariatric support, and addressing other unexplained gut symptoms.
Ms Albertini offers a tailored approach to conditions such as IBS using FODMAP diets, as well as comprehensive management for hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and PCOS - now known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). In addition to her adult specialisms, she provides vital nutrition support for healthy ageing and complex paediatric cases.
Her professional philosophy is rooted in her extensive NHS background, where she has identified a frequent gap between rushed, generic guidance and the specific clarity patients require. Ms Albertini distinguishes her service by focusing on realistic, evidence-based strategies that empower clients to understand the underlying causes of their symptoms. She ensures that every patient leaves with a clear, actionable plan designed to fit seamlessly into their lifestyle.
She holds a BSc (Hons) in Dietetics and Nutrition from London Metropolitan University, and is trained as a DESMOND Educator. She has undertaken courses and training in the low FODMAP diet, the psychopathy of obesity, behavioural change, IBD and MEND at leading institutions including St George's Hospital and King's College.
Ms Albertini is fluent in both English and Italian, allowing her to serve a diverse patient community effectively. Beyond her clinical work, she's a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA) and contributes to professional development through her involvement in the Gastroenterology, First Contact, Freelance, and Autism subgroups within the organisation.
Professionally, she maintains strong collaborative relationships with consultants, GPs, nurses, and allied health professionals. This multidisciplinary engagement supports integrated care pathways and ensures high-quality, patient-centred outcomes in both acute and community settings.
