At The Surrey Centre for Eating Disorders, we offer a calm, relational space to explore your relationship with food, your body, and yourself – whether you’ve received a diagnosis, or simply know something isn’t quite right.
You might feel caught in cycles of control, restriction, bingeing, shame or secrecy. Or you may not have the words yet, only a quiet knowing that something about food, eating, or your body feels overwhelming or painful.
Whatever brings you here, you are welcome. We will meet you gently, and walk with you at your pace.
The Surrey Centre for Eating Disorders was founded in 2010 by a group of psychotherapists, analysts, and dietitians who shared a vision: to offer therapy that meets eating disorders not with judgement, but with depth, presence, and humanity.
What began as a small, soul-centred practice in the Surrey countryside has since grown into a specialist service trusted by individuals, families, and referring professionals across the UK.
Though our team has grown, our roots remain the same:
- The relationship is the work
- The soul knows the way
- And the person is never the problem
We understand that eating disorders are not just about food. They often serve a purpose, helping you manage pain, silence, fear, control, or numbness. They can feel like a lifeline, and a trap. They are often shaped by what was too much, or not enough.
We don’t meet eating disorders with judgement or pressure.
We meet them with presence, patience, and relational depth.
You do not need to be “sick enough” to be seen. You do not need a diagnosis to begin. You can arrive with your uncertainty and still be met with care.
At The Surrey Centre, we walk with you. We hold the space. We listen with care. And we believe, always, in what is still possible for you.
We are a fully integrated team of psychotherapists, dietitians, nutritionists and Jungian analysts who work collaboratively, always in service of the person in front of us.
We offer therapy that is:
- Relational – because healing begins in connection
- Integrative – combining therapeutic and dietetic support where helpful
- Trauma-informed – holding what the body has learned to protect
- Soul-aware – listening not just to the symptoms, but to what lives beneath them
- Paced – we never rush the work, and we never work ahead of you
Our work supports you to:
- Understand what your eating behaviours may be protecting you from
- Rebuild a freer, more compassionate relationship with food
- Explore the emotional roots of your struggle
- Gently challenge patterns of control, fear, and shame
- Involve family members or loved ones, where helpful, in the process of recovery
This is not about quick change, it’s about meaningful change. About finding your way back to yourself, with support and care.
We offer support to those navigating many forms of struggle, whether named, unnamed, or quietly held including:
- People with diagnosed eating disorders — including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID and OSFED
- Those struggling with food, eating, or body image – even without a formal diagnosis
- People using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, seeking emotional support alongside physical change
- Parents, carers, and loved ones navigating their own worry, helplessness or questions
You don’t need to be in crisis to begin.
You can start from wherever you are and we will meet you there.
We currently offer therapy in:
- Headley, Surrey (our main and original centre)
- Bath
- Chepstow
Each space is calm, private, and welcoming – shaped to support deep listening, relationship, and reflection.
We also offer online therapy across the UK and internationally.
