Psychiatry for Eating Disorders at our London clinic.

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

During the assessment, our Child & Adolescent Consultant Psychiatrist will conduct a detailed medical, social, and psychological evaluation. This includes dedicated time to speak with both young people and parents/guardians separately, ensuring all perspectives are considered.

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.

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

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.

This assessment is designed for individuals under 18 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.

This appointment will take place at our Church Road clinic. The cost is £1250.
