Our services

Our service 

We offer a high standard of person-centred treatment utilising a number of different psychological models.

Utilising the array of professionals from different disciplines in the team, our service provides a stepped model of care focusing on recovery from both an emotional and physical perspective. 

Outlined below are different areas of the service.

Assessments

The initial appointment with the team will be an opportunity for you to tell us the challenges you are currently facing in terms of your eating and a little about yourself. Assessments typically take around 60 minutes. After the assessment, we will then discuss with the team and then yourself on the outcome and whether as a service, we are the most appropriate team to support you at this time. From here, a treatment plan will be made. 

We also offer FREED assessments. FREED (First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders) is an innovative, evidence-based service designed to provide timely support and treatment for individuals who have developed an eating disorder within the past three years.

This early intervention model can make a significant difference, helping individuals start their journey to recovery sooner, with better and lasting outcomes.

It is designed for young adults (typically aged 16-25) who have experienced an eating disorder for less than three years. If you or someone you care about is in the early stages of an eating disorder, this programme can be a vital step towards recovery before behaviours become deeply established.

Health assessments

In some cases, we offer health assessments to identify specific risks that can come with having an eating disorder. This is done whilst considering a patient’s psychological formulation. This is a more individualised approach that moves away from protocol driven medical monitoring.

Some patients may not require health assessments during their time with our service and some may receive these within their own GP surgery. Recommendations will be made at the time of assessment and regularly reviewed by clinicians within an MDT, taking patient centred factors into account. It is not considered a treatment pathway and therefore happens alongside treatment.

Psychological therapies 

We offer all of the NICE recommended psychological treatments for adults with eating disorders. Most individuals are offered group treatment, provided in a hybrid, face to face or virtual format.me

The Keeping Safe Programme  

The Keeping Safe Programme (KSP) is the first step in your treatment with our Adult Eating Disorder Service. It has been co-developed with people with lived experience, to provide information to help you begin to make sense of your difficulties and to encourage you to take steps to minimise any potentially harmful effects caused by your eating disorder whilst you are waiting for treatment.
