For nutrition counsellors & therapists

Needs, goals and food diary — before the first consultation

Your clients record eating habits, goals, pre-existing conditions and medication in a structured online form beforehand. You start session one straight into the analysis.

Where the first consultation hour gets lost

The food diary arrives as a pile of notes

Handwritten lists, WhatsApp voice notes, a photo of the kitchen-table notepad — every client delivers differently. Before you can analyse anything, you first sort and decipher.

Pre-existing conditions surface too late

Diabetes, thyroid issues, intolerances, medication — details that directly shape your recommendations. If they only surface casually in session two, part of your planning was wasted.

Vague goals, vague mandate

"I want to eat healthier" is not a working mandate. Without structured pre-session questions on motivation, trigger and previous attempts, you spend half the first consultation clarifying goals.

How the consultation starts at the analysis

  1. 1

    Build your needs assessment once

    Eating habits, typical daily routine, goals and trigger, pre-existing conditions, medication, intolerances — plus an upload for diaries or lab results from the doctor. AI generation drafts it, you sharpen it.

  2. 2

    Client completes it before session one

    The link goes out with the booking confirmation. One question per screen, phone-friendly, with draft saving — the food diary can grow over several days without anything getting lost.

  3. 3

    You counsel from minute one — well-founded

    Everything sits structured in your workspace: habits, goals, medical context. You prepare the first consultation deliberately and use the paid hour for what your client pays for: your expertise.

Questions from counselling practice

Asking about conditions and medication online — is that allowed?
Yes, with the right safeguards. Such details are health data under Art. 9 GDPR and require consent plus a provider with a data processing agreement. Questee delivers both cleanly: consent text in the form, encrypted transfer, hosting in Germany and the Art. 28 GDPR DPA for your records.
How does Questee differ from Typeform for this purpose?
Typeform looks good but stores data with a US provider — a risk you are accountable for when it concerns diabetes, eating behaviour or medication. Questee hosts exclusively in Germany, is built for GDPR cases and costs considerably less on Pro than Typeform's comparable plans.
May the form promise outcomes or results?
No — and Questee helps you keep it clean: you write every text yourself. Serious needs assessment describes the process ("we capture your starting point"), not results ("you will lose 5 kg"). Health-related outcome claims are legally risky under advertising law. The form captures — professional interpretation and counselling remain yours.
Does the form replace nutrition analysis software?
No — it supplies the raw material. Nutrient calculation and analysis still happen in your professional software or by hand. Questee ensures the diary, goals and medical context arrive complete, legible and structured instead of as a paper chase.
Which questions belong in the needs assessment?
A proven structure: trigger and goals in their own words, previous attempts, a typical eating day (meals, snacks, drinks), shopping and cooking habits, work situation and meal rhythm, pre-existing conditions, medication, intolerances and allergies, weight history where relevant, plus an upload for diaries or lab results. Conditional logic keeps the form short for each individual.
Can I reuse the form for follow-up sessions?
Better: create a second, short progress form — what worked, where it sticks, current questions. Many counsellors send it a few days before each follow-up. You see development over time and the follow-up session starts prepared as well.
Not all my clients are tech-savvy — will this still work?
The format is deliberately simple: tap the link, one question at a time, big buttons, no registration for the client. Draft saving prevents frustration when interrupted. And whoever truly prefers paper can still have it — the online form takes the majority of cases off your plate.
