Anorexia treatment
Severe restriction of food, often with over exercising, driven by fear of weight gain and a distorted sense of body size. Physical monitoring is part of treatment, not an optional extra.
Private Eating Disorder Treatment
Assessed within days by a consultant psychiatrist, from £49.
Treatment for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and OSFED, at any of our ten UK clinics or online. No waiting list and no GP referral. Your physical health is assessed alongside the psychological picture, because an eating disorder affects both.
Book EATING DISORDER TREATMENT without the wait
NHS eating disorder services are among the hardest in the country to get into. Waits of many months are common, and an eating disorder gets more entrenched the longer it runs. That is the single reason most people come to us.
Being assessed does not commit you to treatment. You leave the first appointment knowing what you are dealing with, what treatment would involve, how long it is likely to take and what it costs. What you do next is your decision.
You do not have to be ready to change. Ambivalence is part of an eating disorder rather than a reason to stay away.

EATING DISORDERS WE TREAT
Bulimia treatment
Binge eating followed by attempts to compensate, through vomiting, laxatives, fasting or excessive exercise. Weight is often normal, which is why it goes unrecognised for years.
Binge eating disorder treatment
Eating large amounts quickly, often past the point of comfort, usually alone and followed by shame. The most common eating disorder of all, and the one least likely to be diagnosed.
OSFED
Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders. A serious eating disorder that does not fit the categories above. It is not a lesser diagnosis.
ARFID
Eating disorders with type 1 diabetes

WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
- It is a conversation, not a test. Nobody is going to tell you off, and nobody is going to be shocked.
- What you will be asked. What has been happening and for how long. Eating patterns. Anything you do to compensate. Weight history. Physical symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations or feeling cold. Mood, and whether you have had thoughts of harming yourself.
- You will be weighed. It is part of the physical assessment. Tell us if that is hard for you and it can be done blind, where you do not see the number and it is not said out loud.
- Physical checks. Blood pressure, pulse, and bloods or an ECG where they are indicated.
- Bring someone if you want to. A partner, parent or friend. They often notice things you have stopped noticing.
- What you leave with. An understanding of what you are dealing with, a treatment plan, a likely timescale and a cost. Not a prescription and not a lecture.

WHAT EATING DISORDER TREATMENT INVOLVES
H3: Therapy is the main treatment
Delivered by therapists using [Confirm which therapies are offered. The live page lists person centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, transactional analysis and attachment styles exploration. See the notes: national guidance for eating disorders recommends specific eating disorder therapies, and the live list does not name them.]
It takes months rather than weeks, and it is the part that changes the outcome.
H3: Dietetic support runs alongside
Not a diet plan. Re establishing regular eating is one of the hardest parts of recovery and one of the most important, and it is done with someone who understands why it is hard.
H3: Medical monitoring is part of treatment
Weight, blood pressure, pulse, blood tests and cardiac checks, at a frequency set by how unwell you are. This is the part private services most often leave out. It is also the part that keeps people safe.
H3: Medication where it helps
It can treat depression or anxiety alongside an eating disorder. No medication treats an eating disorder on its own, and any service implying otherwise should be treated with caution.
H3: Family involvement
As much or as little as you want. For children and young people, family involvement is a core part of treatment rather than an option. [Confirm whether under 18s are seen and whether family therapy is offered.]
HOW LONG DOES EATING DISORDER TREATMENT TAKE?
Months, not weeks. Anyone promising a fast fix is selling something else.
What progress looks like early on. Usually a change in the behaviour before a change in how you feel about food or your body. That order is normal and it is worth knowing, because the feelings lagging behind is the point at which many people conclude it is not working.
Does treatment work. Yes. People recover, including people who have been unwell for years, and including people who have had treatment before that did not help.
Relapse is common and it is not failure. It is part of the pattern for many people, and getting back into treatment quickly is what makes the difference.
Recovering earlier is easier than recovering later. Which is the honest argument for not waiting, and it is the same argument whether you come to us or go through the NHS.
