Why refer to ABBI Clinic?

Specialist eating disorder expertise

ABBI Clinic is a specialist eating disorder provider. Every member of our clinical team works exclusively in eating disorder care, bringing a depth of expertise that generalist mental health services cannot replicate. We treat the full spectrum of eating disorders in people aged 13 and above, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, orthorexia, and OSFED.

Full treatment spectrum under one team

ABBI Clinic offers the complete range of eating disorder treatment, from outpatient through to intensive half-day and full-day day care programmes. Patients do not need to be referred to a different service if their clinical needs change. The same specialist team provides continuity of care across every level of the pathway.

Rapid access

We understand that timely intervention matters. From initial referral to the start of treatment, our commitment is to move within 14 days. Referrals are acknowledged promptly and the assessment process is designed to be thorough without being unnecessarily lengthy.

Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and reviewed regularly, with clear communication to referring clinicians throughout.

Patient satisfaction is rated at 10 out of 10. We are committed to transparency about our clinical outcomes and are happy to share further detail on request.
