CQC-rated ‘Outstanding’ treatment that works for recovery
Meeting you where you are.
“Orri is a wonderful place filled with some of the loveliest people I have ever met. I believe it has saved my life multiple times, and just as importantly saved my spirit.”
Expert help, with kindness and compassion
You may not know what you need right now, but you probably know that something’s not quite right about your relationship to food and eating. This is a good place to start.
Eating disorders might seem confusing on the outside, but we believe that what underlies them is a ‘function’ or ‘purpose’ that has a unique logic of its own. Essentially, there is a reason you’ve found yourself on this page.
This understanding of eating disorders forms the basis of our approach here at Orri.
Our treatment draws upon a number of therapeutic modalities to understand and overcome the underlying cause of the eating disorder whilst healing the day-to-day, behavioural symptoms in tandem. This approach ensures that recovery is possible and sustainable long-term.
At the core, you’ll find a commitment to delivering treatment with compassion and kindness. This is because to understand why the eating disorder manifested is to understand that you are human and have found a way to keep going despite the challenge you’ve been through.

All programmes follow a ‘stepped approach’, meaning that treatment evolves with each individual client as they progress in recovery. This ensures a gradual and intentional transition to life without treatment, meaning that progress is sustained and sustainable.
I am so grateful for the support, skill and dedication of the staff who truly design a unique programme for each person.
