Highly specialised treatment for anorexia


Anorexia nervosa is a serious and complex eating disorder that requires a multifaceted approach to treatment. At Schoen Clinic, we understand the challenges of overcoming this illness and are dedicated to providing a range of effective treatment options tailored to each individual's needs.


Helping patients regain weight and control eating behaviours


A critical component of anorexia nervosa treatment involves helping patients gain weight and manage their eating and weight-control behaviours. Our therapy strategy includes thorough medical assessments and the treatment of any co-existing physical or mental health issues. Patients are guided to overcome their fear of food and encouraged to eat a variety of foods with different calorie densities at regularly spaced meals as part of their nutritional strategy.


Family support and body image


Therapies that involve family members play a vital role in supporting and supervising mealtimes. Addressing body dissatisfaction is equally important and often takes time to achieve significant changes. At Schoen Clinic, we work together with patients to manage anorexia in a way that keeps them engaged and motivated to recover.


We set goals collaboratively and create personalised treatment plans to guide patients towards recovery. Recognising the stress that comes with changing perspectives on food and diet, we provide the necessary support to make this transition as smooth as possible.


Respecting individual recovery journeys


We understand that the journey to recovery can be difficult and unique for each person. At Schoen Clinic, we respect each individual's situation and work diligently to identify and meet their specific needs.


Outpatient anorexia treatment


Outpatient anorexia treatment at Schoen Clinic offers a comprehensive approach to supporting individuals on their path to recovery. Our outpatient services provide flexible and personalised care designed to address the unique needs of each patient. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies, nutritional counselling, and medical monitoring, we empower individuals to overcome their eating disorders and promote long-term health and wellbeing.


Our holistic approach to outpatient treatment includes therapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and family-based treatment (FBT). These therapies help patients develop healthier attitudes towards food, body image, and self-esteem. Nutritional counselling equips individuals with practical skills to establish balanced eating habits and restore nutritional health. With compassionate guidance, we support individuals in reclaiming control over their lives and embracing a future free from anorexia nervosa. Outpatient treatment is available at Schoen Clinic Chelsea.

Inpatient anorexia treatment


For individuals needing more intensive care, Schoen Clinic offers inpatient anorexia treatment. Our residential programs provide a structured and supportive environment for those battling severe forms of anorexia nervosa. These programs are designed for children, teens, and adults who require round-the-clock care to address the physical, psychological, and nutritional aspects of their illness.


Our inpatient treatment integrates evidence-based therapies, medical monitoring, and nutritional rehabilitation. Led by a multidisciplinary team of experts, including psychiatrists, psychologists, dietitians, nurses, and medical doctors, we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our therapeutic community fosters compassion, understanding, and respect, creating a supportive environment for addressing the underlying issues of eating disorders and embarking on a path towards healing.

Daycare anorexia treatment


Schoen Clinic offers daycare anorexia treatment as a flexible and supportive option for individuals who are well enough to return home each evening while still benefiting from structured therapeutic interventions during the day. Our daycare programmes provide comprehensive treatment and support for individuals navigating the challenges of anorexia nervosa while allowing them to maintain their daily routines and connections with their support networks outside of treatment hours.


Ideal for individuals who may not require round-the-clock care or intensive inpatient/residential treatment, daycare anorexia treatment at one of our Schoen Clinic hospitals offers a balance of therapeutic support and independence.


Throughout the day, patients participate in a variety of evidence-based therapies, group sessions, and skill-building activities designed to address the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of their illness. Under the guidance of our expert team of clinicians, including psychiatrists, psychologists, dietitians, and therapists, individuals receive personalised care tailored to their unique needs and treatment goals.

Private short-stay anorexia support


Schoen Clinic provides private short-stay anorexia support tailored to individuals seeking focused care during critical junctures of their recovery journey. Our short-stay programmes offer a range of key benefits designed to address specific needs, including respite, extra support, early intervention, and assistance for those beginning to relapse.


Whether individuals require a brief period of intensive treatment to stabilise their condition or seek additional support to navigate challenges in their recovery process, our short-stay programmes offer personalised care in a supportive and nurturing environment.


One of the primary reasons individuals may opt for short-stay anorexia support at Schoen Clinic is to take a respite from the demands of daily life and focus on their recovery. Our short-stay anorexia support provides individuals with the opportunity to step away from stressors and triggers in their environment, allowing them to immerse themselves fully in therapeutic interventions and self-care activities.


During their short-stay at one of our specialised hospitals, patients receive expert support and guidance from our experienced team of clinicians, empowering them to recharge, reflect, and refocus on their path towards wellness.
