Children and adults

We recommend talking to a parent, guardian or loved one before accessing our services. If you are under 16 we would require consent of your parents or guardian prior to seeing you. Our services are private and therefore we do require a payment for an assessment and treatment. If you would like more information, help or guidance eating disorders in general please see our resources page.

Our team is led by a mental health nurse who can explain to you, following an assessment, which treatment package is most appropriate for you and/or your family. Our team puts you at the centre of everything we do and you will be involved in every decision making process. We would be happy to give you an idea of costings over the phone or a quote if you wish.
