Meet the team
We are specialist clinicians, clinical and counselling psychologists, specialist nurses and a dietician. Our work include individual and group therapy, intensive home support, where required, carers support. We value the importance of “lived experience” and involve people who have used our service in the on-going development, delivery and recruitment processes of the EDS.
Our team's mission statement is: "We aim to provide a comprehensive, compassionate and flexible clinical service to improve the lives of adults with eating disorders. We believe that quality of care is based on collective commitment and expertise of the team, including the lived experience of service users and carers. We have a commitment to the underpinning evidence base of treatment for eating disorders, but also an appreciation for flexibility and creativity to adapt to the needs of our service users, due to the complex nature of eating disorders."
Our team's vision is: "Central to our vision is recovery from eating disorders. We aim to support and empower those who use our services to reach a state of wellness and quality of life, in line with their individual values. We recognise that this can be facilitated through offering choice, working in a partnership of mutual respect and providing person-centred interventions."
