This is a 90 minute appointment for any individuals (adults, children & adolescents) that includes taking a comprehensive social, psychological and medical history in order to gain a full understanding of the development of an Eating Disorder, and to create immediate recommendations and an ongoing treatment plan. This assessment is led by one of our experienced Eating Disorder clinicians. 

Prior to the assessment you will be asked to fill out psychological screening tools and send in any previous relevant assessments to be reviewed. 

A Clinician Led Assessment offers:

• A clear understanding and formulation of your symptoms

• A personalised treatment plan

• Guidance on therapy and next steps 

• A recommendations letter 

Any additional referrals that may need to be made will be discussed in the appointment and where possible actioned by the clinic. 

This may include visiting a GP for blood biochemistry tests or an ECG.

This appointment can be accessed by individuals who are experiencing restrictive or selective eating, compensatory behaviours around eating and binge eating with a low risk profile.

If choosing to book directly via the webpage we will contact you to discuss risk and ensure that this is the right appointment type for you. 

Depending on risk it may be suggested that you will need to see a Consultant Psychiatrist for an assessment to access the service or we may recommend other specialist services that suit your current clinical needs better.

We are unable to support individuals with a BMI below 15kg/m² or 75% Median BMI due to risk. In the event that your body weight goes below this threshold we will need to arrange a discharge to your local NHS team.

These appointments take place at our Ridgway Mews clinic.
Cost: £300
Please note that the Psychiatric Assessment is the only assessment where you will receive a formal diagnosis and can discuss or be prescribed medication. Psychiatrists can also write reports that you may need e.g. for education settings.
