Anorexia Treatment
Specialist eating disorder support, in-person or online.
A recovery community
Hello. Welcome to Orri.
We are the UK’s leading specialist private eating disorder clinic, offering expert, evidence-based anorexia treatment with kindness and compassion at the core. Guided by our vision of recovery for all, we support individuals through every stage of their anorexia recovery journey, whether in-person or through our online anorexia treatment options.
Anorexia nervosa is a serious and often isolating illness. It can cause an overwhelming fear of weight gain and deep distress around body image, disrupting everyday life, work, studies and relationships. Many also struggle with restriction, compensatory behaviours and the challenges of navigating an anorexia diet that supports both mental and physical wellbeing.
But with the right help and therapeutic support, recovery is possible. Whether you’re looking for online anorexia therapy, tailored anorexia treatment, or learning how to support someone with anorexia, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way..

Your anorexia treatment programme includes:
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy happens within the context of a safe and confidential relationship with an expert therapist who is non-judgemental, compassionate and committed to your individual recovery. Together, you’ll gain insight into your eating disorder and the underlying causes, and develop new coping skills that lessen the hold of the eating disorder.
Group therapy
Eating disorders thrive in isolation, so Orri is founded on the concept of community. Group therapy provides a space of shelter where a collective comes together to ‘bear witness’ to one another.
Groups are facilitated by experienced psychotherapists, dietitians, and mental health nurses, and established within boundaries of confidentiality and respect, allowing clients to work towards connecting to their vulnerability.
In time, group therapy provides a mutual space of shared understanding. Whilst many may feel understandably apprehensive at first, the group therapy process offers an invaluable experience where clients draw strength from others and also see others draw strength from them.
Dietetics and meal support
We do dietetics a little differently at Orri. We do not talk about calories, nor do we lay down rules.
People with eating disorders can already have a lot of rules. Instead, we strike the balance between providing nutritious food that feels safe, whilst allowing clients to gently challenge behaviours that are holding them back.
Our emphasis is on establishing meaningful structure around food, as opposed to limiting rules, within a social setting that helps clients to retrace their steps back to a safe and intuitive eating pattern.
Occupational therapy
Occupational Therapy looks holistically at an individual, their environment and daily occupations to evaluate their level of functioning and quality of life.
Our team of Occupational Therapists work alongside clients to facilitate therapeutic interventions that bring both a sense of autonomy and support to the areas of their lives where they may need extra guidance and/or skill-building.
Psychiatry (as required)
Every client’s programme is managed by a multi-disciplinary team which includes world-class psychiatrists supported by a team of specialist nurses.
Prof. Paul Robinson, Orri’s Director of Research and Development, is a Consultant Adult Psychiatrist and best known for his promotion of intensive community treatment to minimise the need for hospital care.
Dr Sara Morando is a Consultant Psychiatrist in General Adult Psychiatry. She has worked for 16 years across various inpatient and daycare settings, with community mental health teams, specialist eating disorder services, personality disorders services and psychotherapy services.
Dr Louisa Beckford is a Consultant Psychiatrist with a wide range of experience in specialist mental health services including addictions, neuropsychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry.
Nursing
Our nursing team look after the physical health and safety of our clients, managing risk assessments, weights, blood tests, ECGs and much more.
Somatic and body-based therapies
We offer a unique range of body-based therapies that help unify the mind and body, using a combination of yoga, mindfulness and meditation to help people connect their bodies with their feelings.
Working somatically encourages clients to experience emotional and physical sensations and learn to navigate them by regulating their nervous system with a combination of awareness, mindfulness and self-care.
