Call Us
Treatment is the foundation of everything we do here at ABBI Clinic. We know that deciding to seek help for an eating disorder can be daunting, and it is the tailored treatment programmes delivered by our warm and welcoming team that will provide you with the support, tools, and confidence to make a full recovery.
Both our Day Care and Outpatient programmes can be delivered in three ways. Deciding which is the right option for you will depend on your clinical needs, where you live, and your personal circumstances. These factors can be discussed as part of your initial consultation, where we work together to decide the best route to recovery for you.
The first of these options is in-person treatment, which takes place at our clinics. All of our sites are welcoming, discreet, and accessible spaces. In-person treatment means you get to work with our team face-to-face, meet with other patients, and benefit from the closest level of clinical oversight possible.
If you live further away or find the idea of in-person overwhelming at the start of recovery, you can benefit from online treatment. Our fully virtual programme delivers the same specialist treatment entirely online, meaning you can access expert care from wherever you are.
Alternatively, you can access ABBI Hybrid treatment. This delivery option allows you to combine in-person and online attendance in a way that suits your life. You might attend in-person for supported mealtimes and group sessions, for example, while joining individual therapy appointments online. Whatever works best for you, we will build it into your plan.
At ABBI Clinic, we take real pride in providing eating disorder treatment programmes tailored to your needs and goals. We always look to provide the support and guidance most appropriate for your recovery journey, and we have three guiding principles that help us to do this.

ABBI Clinic were very helpful in my recovery from my eating disorder. They offered meal support as well as group therapy, a dietitian, and weekly individual sessions. They helped me create a meal plan that was suited to my dietary requirements as well as a maintenance plan for continuing recovery after my discharge.
The staff are amazing and supportive. They’ve helped me to see through a variety of techniques regarding wellbeing, nutrition, and dietary advice that being well is possible. I’m now armed with tools and techniques to use when things get tough, and life does throw curve balls, but I can cope with life, being a well me, just as I am.
I never thought I’d ever beat my ED that’s been torturing me for 30 years. Thank you, ABBI Clinic, not only for giving me hope when I thought nobody could help but also for being the first place that’s helped me to actually get well. Not just physically but mentally as well. I’ve finally addressed the root cause of the issue, and that’s been imperative in helping me to see life without my ED and how good it can be.
ABBI Clinic have been nothing short of incredible in supporting me with my recovery journey. The staff at ABBI Clinic make every effort to ensure that your journey is personalised by getting to know each individual person, and it shows in their care and support. A special mention to Kate, whom I cannot thank enough for always giving her undivided attention and showing week in and week out that she genuinely cares to support you in recovery.
Very quick and clear communication throughout.
ABBI Clinic was a very positive experience for me. I felt I was understood & not judged. I was given some very useful tools to help me cope with my eating disorder.
abbi clinic is a great day care service, it's very tailored to your own needs because everyone's eating disorder is so different even if your diagnosis is the same. it helped not only give me the tools to stay out of hospital but also gave me the motivation to be able to believe in myself that i could.
The staff there are brilliant. They make you feel comfortable and welcome. The setting is great, as its private, warm and had all the facilities you need.
I had my initial screening with Dr Shama and she was calm, professional, and non-judgmental, which made it easier to open up. Dr Shama was extremely thoughtful about this and has contacted the NHS provider for my screening notes so I did not have to go through the emotional distress again.
The Clinic have been excellent. They are extremely attentive, very quick to respond to queries and have been really kind and sensitive at all times to help me.
Excellent service. After contacting the clinic about my concerns about having an eating disorder I was seen for an initial consultation within a week.
I recently completed a treatment at the ABBI Clinic for B.E.D., and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the start, the staff were incredibly compassionate, friendly, and supportive, making a daunting process feel safe and manageable. The time spent with the others going through similar experiences was invaluable – helpful, encouraging, and a real source of connection. I felt truly supported every step of the way, and I’m deeply grateful for the care I received.
