Hello. Welcome to Orri.
We are the UK’s leading specialist private eating disorder clinic. With our vision of ‘recovery for all’ we provide expert, evidence-based treatment and deliver outstanding outcomes with kindness at the core.
Anorexia nervosa, commonly known as anorexia, can be an incredibly distressing illness to live with.

People can also see significant disruption in their relationships, work and studies.
While it may feel impossible to imagine a life without restriction or compensation, anorexia is treatable and recovery is possible.
We’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

What is anorexia?
Anorexia typically involves restrictive eating, where someone limits their food intake to a dangerous and sometimes life-threatening degree.
People living with anorexia can often feel a lot of guilt and shame associated with their illness and its symptoms. This, in turn, can fuel the ‘critical voice’ of the illness, and keep them trapped further in their illness.
It is therefore vitally important that people are treated with respect, kindness and compassion as they navigate recovery.
Despite how it may seem, anorexia – like other eating disorders – is not just about food. Rather, there are often complex emotional underlying causes that prompt an individual to look outside of themselves to cope.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
Food and/or exercising has started to dictate life decisions
Meals, and meal preparation, have become a challenge
Rigid routines and rituals
Tightly regulated and restricted eating
Social withdrawal and isolation
Preoccupation with size and body image
Insomnia or struggling to sleep/stay asleep
Low self-esteem and insecurity
Perfectionism
Co-occurring conditions, such as depression and anxiety

Treatment for anorexia
At Orri, we believe that effective treatment for anorexia requires a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach delivered by experts in the field.
Our dedicated team includes psychotherapists, dietitians, occupational therapists, somatic therapists, nursing and psychiatry, all working together to ensure a whole-person approach that fosters long-term recovery.
Central to our approach is symptom interruption, a crucial step in halting and overcoming the behaviours associated with anorexia. But beyond this, we delve deeply into understanding the underlying causes and environmental factors that may reinforce or sustain the eating disorder, providing a path to healing that addresses all aspects of your experience.
We also recognise the pivotal role that parents and carers play in the recovery process. As such, we provide specialist support and guidance to ensure they are resourced to care for their loved ones whilst caring for themselves.

How it works
Our assessment is an in-depth appointment inviting you to reflect on your experience and understand what will be the best next step for your recovery.
This session involves an thorough consultation with our specialist team who hold a deep understanding and genuine commitment to identifying the support you need.
Step 1
Reach out
Call us or fill out the contact form on this page. One of our admissions specialists will then be in touch to discuss how our treatment can help you.
Step 2
Assessment
We will organise a virtual intake assessment where you will meet one of our specialist team members to discuss your experience in depth.
Step 3
Start your sessions
Following your assessment, we’ll discuss our recommendations for your recovery. We’ll agree a start date and get everything aligned for your first session.
Respect, kindness and compassion
You may be unsure whether you have anorexia, but you are aware that there’s something not quite right about your relationship to food, eating and your body.
Whatever your situation, we know how hard it is to admit you’re struggling, and there’s likely a big part of you that doesn’t want to reach out for fear of what treatment will entail.
So, be proud of taking this first step.
