Day treatment

Expert eating disorder care that meets you where you are

A community built around recovery

What is day treatment at Orri?

Day treatment is a specialist eating disorder programme for people who need more regular, structured care than weekly therapy or dietetic sessions provide.

At Orri, treatment is built around you. Your recovery will be supported by eating disorder experts in a caring, collaborative community. We’ll also help you understand your eating disorder while staying connected to everyday life and the people important to you.

Day treatment for eating disorders at Orri

 

Day treatment brings together various types of specialist support, shaped around your needs and held within Orri’s compassionate recovery community.

Individual therapy

Individual therapy gives you a safe, confidential space with an expert therapist who is non-judgemental and committed to your recovery. Together, you’ll explore your eating disorder, understand what may lie beneath it and develop coping skills to help loosen its hold.

Group therapy

Eating disorders can be isolating. Group therapy offers a supportive space to connect with others who understand, helping you feel less alone while learning through shared experience. Sessions are facilitated by experienced clinicians and conducted with care, confidentiality and respect.

Dietetics and meal support

At Orri, dietetics is about kindness, structure and trust. We don’t focus on calories or rigid rules. Instead, we help you build a safer relationship with food through practical guidance, supported meals and gentle challenges that move at the right pace for you.

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy examines how your eating disorder affects everyday life, from routines and relationships to study, work and time at home. Our occupational therapists help you build skills, confidence and autonomy where extra support may be needed.

Psychiatry (as required)

A multidisciplinary team delivers your programme, with psychiatric and nursing support included where needed. This may involve physical health monitoring, risk assessments, medication reviews and other checks to help keep you safe throughout treatment.

Nursing

Our nursing team looks after our clients’ physical health and safety, managing risk assessments, weights, blood tests, ECGs and much more.

Somatic and body-based therapies

Somatic and body-based therapies can help you reconnect with your body in a gentle, supportive way. Through practices such as yoga, mindfulness and meditation, you can begin to notice sensations, regulate your nervous system and build trust in yourself again.

Who we help

Day treatment is for people who need more support than weekly therapy or dietetic sessions can offer, but who don’t need inpatient care. It can also support people stepping down from hospital or residential treatment, helping recovery become part of everyday life.

You may benefit from day treatment if:

  • Your eating disorder is affecting your health, relationships or daily routine
  • You need regular support around meals, emotions and recovery behaviours
  • You feel stuck in outpatient therapy and need a more structured programme
  • You’re medically stable but would benefit from a higher level of care
  • You want specialist support while staying connected to home, work, study or loved ones

At Orri, we meet you where you are. Your programme is shaped around your needs, with a multidisciplinary team working alongside you to build safety, confidence and hope.

Seeking treatment is a big step, and worrying about funding shouldn’t make it any harder. Our simple insurance screener helps you quickly check whether your private medical insurer may cover treatment at Orri.

Meeting you where you are 

   You can attend day treatment at Orri in person, online or through a blend of both, helping you access the right level of support to fit your life.

A safe, welcoming space for recovery in central London.

Our in-person programme takes place at our specialist clinic in Marylebone. You’ll attend a minimum of three full-day sessions each week, with access to therapy, supported meals, clinical care and Orri’s recovery community.

Staying connected to life beyond treatment

Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in the life you’re returning to, one step at a time.

By going home or logging off in the evenings and at weekends, you can begin to apply what you’ve learnt to your daily routines, relationships and responsibilities. This helps recovery feel more real, sustainable and connected to the world around you.

As you progress, your programme will evolve with you. We’ll gradually adapt the level of support you receive, helping you build confidence, autonomy and trust in your ability to keep moving forward.

Starting with your story

No one understands your eating disorder better than you. That’s why we take time to get to know you before making any treatment recommendations.

Your intake assessment is an in-depth appointment that explores your experience, current needs and hopes for recovery. It’s also a chance to ask questions, discuss any worries and understand what day treatment at Orri could look like for you.

After your assessment, we’ll arrange a ‘next steps’ meeting to share our recommendations in a collaborative, personalised way. We know this can feel like a lot to take in. We’ll walk alongside you, helping you feel informed, supported and ready for what comes next.

You don’t have to reach a certain weight or level of physical illness before seeking support for an eating disorder.

Eating disorders can affect people at any weight, and the seriousness of an eating disorder isn’t determined by weight alone. If eating, exercise, body image or thoughts about food are having a significant impact on your life, relationships, physical health or emotional wellbeing, it’s worth seeking professional support.

At Orri, we look at the whole person rather than relying on weight alone. An assessment helps us understand your symptoms, physical health, circumstances and current level of support, so we can recommend the most appropriate pathway.
