Eating disorder coaching is revolutionising recovery and improving treatment outcomes.

Rather than purely in-session support or clinical sessions, an eating disorder coach offers you support every step of the way, when you need it most.

Eating disorders can take a great deal from the whole family, whatever the age of the sufferer.
