We provide a safe, respectful, and validating environment for all, maintaining a non-judgemental approach and a welcoming atmosphere.
We are particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals and practise neurodivergent affirmative care.
Rather than offering generic meal plans or making assumptions about your requirements, we take time to actively listen, ensuring the solutions and options we offer are personalised.
We aim to empower you with choices, supporting you to make decisions that help you achieve your goals.

We provide compassionate, tailored support, guidance, and care specifically designed for individuals living with eating disorders—whether you are seeking treatment for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.
Our approach to care is firmly evidence-informed, drawing upon extensive professional training, continuous professional development, and regular clinical supervision to ensure the highest standard of treatment.
We have completed specialised training in Family Based Therapy for Eating Disorders, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Eating Disorders, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, enabling me to offer a comprehensive and effective treatment approach.
Treatment is available for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing eating disorders, and Yasmina also accepts Eating Disorder Care Plans, which provide for up to 20 Medicare rebated consultations within a 12-month period.
Areas of expertise include treatment for:
· Anorexia Nervosa

A diagnosis of an eating disorder can be an extremely overwhelming experience, not only for the individual, but also for the people closest to them. Often patients, families and loved ones can be left feeling lost as they try to navigate the sudden flood of information, appointments and specialists.
At Diab Dietetics, we are experts in Eating Disorder treatment and we know that having an understanding of the eating disorder diagnosis and treatment process helps patients and families to make confident, informed decisions about treatment and care.
That’s why we’re offering a new Eating Disorder Support Coordination service, an opportunity for patients and families to unpack all of the new information and ask questions in a non-judgemental and supportive space.
The service is also available to those with an existing diagnosis seeking additional guidance on navigating the treatment space.
Individual (one-on-one) consultations are provided by Bethany Newell, a qualified Nutritionist, and can include information and support around:
-Private vs Public treatment options
-EDP and GPMP Care-plans, how they work and patient entitlements
-Psychology and psychiatry support recommendations (if not already referred)
-Treatment modalities (for example FBT-E, CBT-EA and CBT-E) and their differences
-The Statewide Eating Disorder Service (SEDS) referral process and programs
-Out of hours care and support services available for patients, families and loved ones
Providing space for patients and families to discuss this ahead of time will put them in the best position to begin treatment and keep them engaged while they wait for their first specialist appointments.
Patients and families are welcome to attend as many or as few sessions as suit their needs.
Referrals are preferred but not required, this service does not attract a Medicare or Private Health Fund rebate.

Do you find yourself preoccupied with thoughts about food, eating, your weight, body size or shape?
Do you experience feelings of shame, guilt, loss of control or anxiety related to particular foods, eating events or situations?
Are you using food to self soothe, manage distress, regulate your emotions or distract from difficult thoughts or experiences?
If you can relate to any of these examples, we can help you build a compassionate and positive relationship with food and your body.
