Our approach.
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.

I am so grateful for the support, skill and dedication of the staff who truly design a unique programme for each person.

Yes, support is available for parents and carers through therapy and guidance.
Teenagers can access Outpatient, Online, or Day Treatment services.
Online Day Care may be suitable for young people aged 13–17 who need more structured and intensive support for an eating disorder than can be provided through standard outpatient care, but who can be safely supported within their home and community. Every young person is assessed individually to understand their needs, risks and circumstances before we recommend the most appropriate level of support.
During the most intensive stage of Online Day Care, a young person may need to step away from school or college for a short period to focus on stabilisation and recovery. During this time, Orri can liaise with teachers and other relevant professionals, with appropriate consent, as part of a coordinated multidisciplinary approach. As recovery progresses, the intensity of treatment can be gradually reduced. This allows education and other aspects of everyday life to be reintroduced at a pace that reflects the young person’s clinical needs and capacity. We work collaboratively with families, schools and other professionals to help treatment fit around a young person’s existing circumstances, which may include flexible timetables or a phased return to school. Our aim is to support recovery while helping young people maintain the routines, relationships and activities that are important to them.
Our clients follow a structured programme of therapeutic groups, supported meals and individual sessions, with regular breaks throughout the day. Full-day sessions run from 10:15am to 4pm, while part-day options are available depending on each person’s needs, circumstances and clinical assessment. Individual psychological therapy, dietetics and occupational therapy are woven into the timetable where needed.
A young person’s voice and circumstances are important parts of our approach. We recognise that engaging with eating disorder treatment can feel difficult, particularly when part of them may not yet feel ready to recover. Our assessment process helps us understand their individual needs, risks and capacity to engage, so we can consider what is the right level of support and how best to work alongside them and their family.
