Women freedom from Eating disorders

At Myrtle Oak Clinic, we believe the right support can help you move beyond what’s overwhelming you — whether that’s an eating disorder, persistent worry, low mood, stress or a complex relationship with food and body image.

  • Eat without shame and guilt
  • Build confidence in daily functioning and wellbeing

  • Cultivate a healthier relationship with thoughts, nourishment, body and activity

  • Reconnect with the things that matter most in life

  • Be confident you’re doing all you can to help your child thrive

It’s time to free yourself from the burden this form of illness creates in your life.

If you’re ready to begin your recovery journey and create distance from unhelpful thoughts and behaviours around food, body or wellbeing, we are here to support you every step of the way.

You may be experiencing challenges with food, body image or exercise — or you may be feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, low mood, perfectionism, stress or emotional overwhelm. Whatever has brought you here, we offer structured and compassionate support.

We will support you to:

  • Understand the underlying drivers of thoughts, emotions and behaviours

  • Build confidence in caring for both your mental and physical wellbeing

  • Develop a steadier, more flexible relationship with food, movement and self-care where relevant

  • Implement practical, personalised strategies to strengthen resilience and daily functioning

We work collaboratively with you through individual psychology and dietetic sessions, tailoring care to your unique goals and circumstances.

All of our health professionals hold accredited university qualifications and have undertaken additional specialist training in eating disorders and mental health care. Our team brings extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and related emotional and psychological challenges.

If you, your family or someone close to you is navigating a difficult period, we offer a coordinated multidisciplinary approach to care. Research consistently supports collaborative treatment as an effective pathway for recovery across eating disorders and a range of mental health conditions, helping to achieve safer, more sustainable outcomes.

We work closely with your GP, paediatrician, psychiatrist and other relevant health professionals to ensure treatment is aligned, structured and responsive to your individual needs. Our focus is on clear communication, continuity of care and a shared plan that supports long-term wellbeing.

Everyone’s experience is unique, which is why we tailor treatment to your individual circumstances, goals and needs.

We focus on meaningful, sustainable recovery — whether you are navigating an eating disorder or another mental health challenge. Our care addresses the full picture: psychological, physical, nutritional, behavioural, social and practical factors that influence wellbeing. We place the individual at the centre of every decision, ensuring treatment remains responsive and aligned with your stage of change.

Where relevant, we support the development of a healthier relationship with food, body and movement, alongside strengthening emotional regulation, resilience and daily functioning. We recognise that recovery is a process that unfolds over time and requires consistency, patience and support both during and beyond active treatment.

Given the complexity of eating disorders and many mental health conditions, some individuals benefit from working within a team of experienced practitioners. Others may find focused, individual therapy most appropriate. There is no single pathway that suits everyone — our role is to determine, together with you, the level and type of support that will best facilitate progress and long-term wellbeing.
