Holistic Paediatrician in London
Safeguard your Child’s Health and Future Well-being
Are you worried about your child’s sleep, eating habits, behaviour, screen time, constipation, eczema or general well-being? I help parents understand what may be going on and create a thoughtful, practical plan that works at home.
I am Dr Monica Gupta - Consultant Paediatrician with over 30 years’ NHS experience and more than 14 years as a consultant in London. I offer calm, personalised paediatric support for parents and families who need help to optimise their child’s physical health, emotional well-being and long-term development.
I understand how deeply parents care about their child’s health, happiness and future. My approach combines my medical expertise, lifestyle medicine and holistic care, helping parents understand the bigger picture and create practical changes that fit family life. I have a particular interest in illness prevention, childhood nutrition and adolescent mental health.
I provide coaching and private consultations for families. I also support families whose child has ongoing symptoms that have not improved with standard treatment and who may benefit from a second opinion.

Why parents choose this approach
Parents often come to me for health concerns and challenges influenced by everyday lifestyle factors. Issues such as: sleep routines, fussy eating, emotional dysregulation, stress, screen time, constipation, lack of movement, childhood eczema, tiredness and low energy, anxiety related symptoms or weight concerns. Together, we create a practical plan that feels manageable, supportive and sustainable.
My consultations are designed for parents who value expert medical guidance, a collaborative approach and advice that is easy to put into practice. Whether you are seeking prevention-focused support or help with an existing concern, early support can help small concerns become more manageable and make healthier habits easier to build and maintain.
Support your child early, before small concerns become bigger ones.

What is holistic care and why does it matter?
Holistic care looks beyond symptoms, diagnosis or a disease label. A holistic approach recognises that our relationships, our culture, our diet, our immediate and global environment are all interconnected and profoundly affect our health and well-being.
It sees your child as a whole person and aims to understand the full picture of their life and development, including emotional well-being, friendships, school and family life and the wider environment.
It does not replace medical care. Instead, it adds a wider lens that can help identify possible contributing factors, rather than only managing symptoms.
This approach may suit you if you want expert medical guidance that also considers the bigger picture and supports your child’s health and development in a collaborative, practical way.
My M.E.N.D.S. framework focuses on five foundations of child health:
Movement
Environment
Nurture
Diet
Sleep
Even small consistent changes can make a meaningful difference over time.
Do you offer online consultations?
Yes, online consultations are available for families who prefer remote support after the initial face to face consultation or those not able to attend in person.

Diet and Nutrition
Practical, sustainable nutrition for growth and healthy gut microbiome. What we choose to eat consistently, will impact our future health.

Sleep/Social media/Screens

Sleep is vital. It is when our bodies heal, regenerate, repair and detoxify. In children, it is when growth hormone is released. Lack of good quality sleep will impact every cell of a child’s body and their ability to focus and concentrate at school.
