Psychiatry for Eating Disorders at our London clinic.

At our mental health clinic in London we provide diagnosis, treatment, and prescribing for adults, adolescents, and children who are struggling with eating disorders.

We offer comprehensive psychiatric assessments and ongoing treatment for both adults and young people struggling with eating disorders.

Our Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant Psychiatrists assesses and manage medical risk, whilst working collaboratively with our multidisciplinary team to ensure you or your child meet their recovery goals.

Psychiatry-Led Eating Disorder Initial Assessments:

  • Pre-Assessment Preparation

    Prior to your appointment, you will be asked to complete psychological screening tools and provide any relevant previous assessments. This allows our psychiatrists to review clinical and social history and gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation before your visit.

  • Comprehensive Evaluation

    During the assessment, our Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant Psychiatrist will conduct a detailed medical, social, and psychological evaluation.

    Where appropriate this includes dedicated time to speak with both young people and parents/guardians separately, ensuring all perspectives are considered.

  • Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

    Based on the assessment, our psychiatrist will formulate a diagnosis and develop a personalised treatment plan. We will explain the diagnosis clearly and discuss the most effective evidence-based treatment options. You will also receive support to help you understand your condition and learn practical strategies for managing it.

  • Collaboration and Referrals

    We will work closely with your GP and other healthcare providers. We will write to your registered GP requesting any necessary additional referrals or, when possible, make referrals directly.

  • Medication Discussion

    Depending on the available time, we may be able to discuss medication options during the initial assessment. However, in some cases, a follow-up appointment may be required. Please let us know in advance if you wish to discuss medication so we can assess if this is possible during the initial appointment.

  • Eligibility and Suitability

    This assessment is designed for individuals experiencing restrictive eating, compensatory behaviours, or binge eating. After booking, we will contact you to discuss risk and ensure this is the appropriate appointment type for your needs. Depending on the level of risk, we may recommend alternative specialist services that are better suited to your current clinical needs.

    We are unable to support individuals with a BMI below 15kg/m² or a percentage of median BMI below 75% due to physical health risk. In the event that your BMI goes below this threshold, we will have to arrange a discharge to the your NHS team local to your registered GP. Please ensure that your reported weight prior to the assessment is as accurate and up to date as possible.

  • Location and Cost

    This appointment will take place at our Ridgeway Mews clinic. The cost is £1250 for Child and Adolescent Assessments and £1000 for Adult Assesments.
