Eating Disorders
Compassionate, specialist support at Woven Health and Wellbeing
At Woven Health and Wellbeing, we offer specialist, evidence-based treatment for the full range of eating difficulties, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, OSFED, ARFID in adults, and long-standing or hard-to-define disordered-eating patterns alongside body-image concerns. Our approach is always thoughtful, collaborative, and personalised. We take time to understand not just your symptoms, but your history, relationships, neurotype, and the emotional world surrounding your eating and your relationship with your body.
Understanding the whole person
People come to Woven Health for many reasons—seeking early support before symptoms take hold, returning after several rounds of treatment, or looking for a fresh approach that understands the whole of their experience.
Eating disorders rarely exist in isolation. They often become woven into patterns of anxiety, low mood, trauma, obsessive thinking, self-criticism, and relational pain. We work carefully to understand how your early experiences, attachment dynamics, identity, personality patterns, and family systems may have shaped your relationship with food and your body.
We also hold in mind your developmental stage, whether you are a young adult, navigating midlife, rebuilding after a major change, or finding your way back to yourself after many years of illness. Therapy is adapted sensitively for people who are autistic, ADHD, or who struggle with sensory or cognitive overwhelm. You do not have to mask, explain, or justify your experience; as PEACE pathway developers and ambassadors, we work with your neurotype, not against it.
Wherever you are starting from, we offer a steady, compassionate space and treatment that is flexible, responsive, and shaped around your pace, your goals, and the full context of your life.
Evidence-based treatments, adapted for you
Therapy typically begins with a careful, collaborative formulation—an exploration of how your eating disorder developed, what keeps it going, and what recovery means to you personally. From here, we set clear, flexible goals that evolve over time.
Sessions often combine reflective therapeutic work with practical, real-life steps, such as eating-related experiments, body-image exposure, or gentle behavioural challenges. Where helpful, partners or family members can be included to strengthen the support around you.
Most importantly, treatment unfolds in a relationship that feels steady, respectful, and safe enough to explore what lies beneath the eating disorder: your hopes, fears, strengths, and the parts of you that deserve space and compassion.
At Woven Health, we draw on a wide range of psychological models so that treatment feels genuinely tailored. Some people benefit from structured, focused work—especially early-intervention cases or those with a single, clearly defined problem. Others need steadier, longer-term support to untangle the deeper emotional cycles that sit beneath their eating difficulties. Both are welcome.
Depending on your needs, therapy may include elements of:
-
CBT-T and CBT-E for targeted or comprehensive cognitive-behavioural support
-
Schema Therapy for deeper patterns linked to identity, trauma, and long-standing cycles
-
MANTRA, an evidence-based model for anorexia with a strong relational and cognitive focus
-
CAT-informed work, particularly for people whose difficulties stem from repeated relational patterns
-
SSCM and supportive clinical management, especially for stabilisation
-
Motivational Interviewing, when readiness for change feels uncertain or fluctuating
-
Mentalisation-based approaches when understanding emotions and relationships is central
-
Family or systemic work where relationships are part of the difficulty or part of the solution
Dietetic Support
We also offer specialist dietetic support at Woven Health. You may work with our dietitian, Caroline, alone or alongside psychological therapy. Dietetic support can help with nutritional rehabilitation, fear foods, meal planning, ARFID challenges, IBS or gut-related symptoms, allergies, pregnancy and postnatal needs, or the demands of high-performance sport. When needed, psychological and dietetic care is woven together to create a united, compassionate treatment plan.
Working alongside NHS teams
If you are already under NHS care, we can work collaboratively with your team. We can coordinate with your psychiatrist, GP, care coordinator, or dietitian, helping you navigate services, maintain continuity, and adjust the level of support as your needs change. Some people prefer us to take the lead; others appreciate a shared-care model. The pace and structure are shaped around what feels most helpful for you.
Why early support matters
Research consistently shows that the first few years after onset offer a powerful window for recovery. Reaching out early can reduce the risk of long-term illness, protect physical health, and prevent entrenched habits.
But “early” does not mean “newly unwell.” It can simply mean reaching out as soon as you notice a shift, a worsening pattern, or a sense that things are becoming unmanageable—even after decades of illness. Recovery can begin at any point.
Whether you are seeking early intervention, a second opinion, a multidisciplinary approach, or a new way forward after years of struggle, Woven Health and Wellbeing offers specialist, whole-person care designed around you.
