About us
We are a small team of ED specialist's providing an evidenced based personalised service to support you in your recovery from food and body image concerns. We are here to help you to build a peaceful relationship with food and feel at home in your body.
Most of us struggle with our relationship with food and our body image from time to time. However, if this is dominating your life and causing you on going distress it may be time to get some support.
We offer a multidisciplinary approach to recovery, which is tailored to you, your stage of recovery and your personal circumstances. Some clients choose one service, while others may choose a combination. As part of your discovery call we can recommend which services we feel will best suit you. This is a collaborative process, with you choosing your own route forward.
Our team consists of experienced, compassionate therapists who are dedicated to supporting you, and your loved ones, with your recovery. Most team members also have lived experience of EDs and body image concerns. So we truly understand what it's like to struggle with an ED and what you may experience when working towards recovery. We also know that although recovery can be a difficult journey it's definitely worth it!

Information about health conditions (*)
Nutritional therapy can help enhance the well-being of individuals diagnosed with serious medical conditions, but should not take the place of medical treatment and advice. If you have been diagnosed with - or suspect you may have - any of these conditions, please speak to your doctor before starting nutritional therapy or making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle.
