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.
