Clinical Nutrition for Eczema & TSW
A root-cause, evidence-based approach to supporting eczema and topical steroid withdrawal.
If you feel stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, treatments and uncertainty, you’re not alone.
I’m Tess Connell, a clinical nutritionist specialising in eczema and topical steroid withdrawal.
My work focuses on helping adults and children better understand the underlying factors influencing their skin, using an evidence-based, personalised approach.
I combine clinical practice with ongoing research in areas such as the gut–skin connection, immune function and nutrition.
If you’re struggling with eczema, you may recognise this…
You feel stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, treatments and temporary relief.
You feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice around diet and skin health.
You suspect there may be underlying factors, but don’t know where to start.
You want a more structured, personalised approach.
A root-cause approach to eczema
Eczema is not just a skin condition.
It is a complex inflammatory condition that often involves more than the skin alone.
In my clinical work, I take a broader, more personalised approach, considering factors such as:
Gut health and the microbiome
Nutrient status
Genetics
Immune function
Lifestyle and environmental triggers
Skin barrier support
This allows for a more personalised and structured approach to supporting your skin.

Claire, UK (Eczema and TSW)
After working with Tess, I finally understand what’s driving my son’s eczema. Seeing him back to his smiley self and finally sleeping through the night again without scratching has been such a relief.
