Your treatment journey.
It’s a brave and courageous step to reach out for help
We know just how daunting it can be to seek help for an eating disorder.
There can be a lot of fear associated with the thought of letting go of something that, ultimately, helps to you to feel safe and in control of your day-to-day life.
But seeking help is the right thing to do. We know it’s tough, but we’ll walk alongside you, at your pace, every step of the way.
Step 1: Simply reach out
At Orri, you can refer yourself or be referred by a professional.
To contact us, call or email our friendly admissions specialists. We will organise a convenient time to talk with you about treatment and recovery.
Our process is quick and accessible, ensuring we can help you or your loved one promptly.
Step 2: A conversation
Over the phone our Admissions Team will chat with you to understand how we can best support you.
They will also gather important information about your life – and the impact of your eating disorder on your life – to see how we might be able to help.

Step 3: Your assessment
If it sounds like our programme could help you, we will organise a virtual or in-person intake appointment.
During this appointment you will meet a member of our clinical team so that we can determine the right level of support for you at this time.
We understand that this may feel daunting right now, but we are with you every step of the way.
Step 4: Start your recovery
Following your intake assessment, we will agree your treatment programme, an initial start date, treatment review periods and arrange a meeting with those supporting you in recovery.
We know this is often a time of high anxiety, and as such, the team are on hand to support you ahead of your arrival at Orri.
We know it’s a hard decision
We recognise that there can be a lot of unknowns and anxieties surrounding the assessment process.
Having a very “real” understanding of what it feels like to live with an eating disorder is woven into the fabric of Orri and into how we approach our assessments with clients.
And that motivation can come and go
Many people who reach out for eating disorder treatment have often thought a lot about the decision.
In fact, a whole lot of recovery work takes place before even entering treatment as it takes a lot of courage to admit that there’s a problem and then to take steps towards reaching out.
A way to understand this contemplative process is through the Stages of Change (or Transtheoretical Model of Change) developed by James Prochaska and Carlo Di Clemente.
Deep down, there’s a part of you that knows you deserve better.
Hold onto that part of you with the knowledge that it’ll guide you through this process of change.
