At The Surrey Centre, we understand that food can become a source of fear, control, or distress when someone is struggling with an eating disorder. Dietetic support is not simply about eating differently, it’s about healing the relationship with food, body, and self. Our specialist dietitians and nutritionists walk alongside you on this journey, offering grounded, compassionate guidance rooted in both clinical expertise and deep care.
Eating disorders impact both physical and emotional health. Working with a dietitian or nutritionist can help restore nourishment and gently reintroduce a safe, balanced approach to eating. This is often a vital part of recovery.
Our team provides:
- Medical nutrition therapy to address malnourishment and ensure your body receives what it needs to function and heal
- Support to normalise eating behaviours and challenge rigid food rules and rituals
- Psychoeducation to reduce fear and confusion around food and body signals
- Relational support, meeting you with empathy and without judgement
Recovery is not just about what we eat, it’s also about how we feel. Our dietitians and nutritionists understand the psychological complexity of eating disorders and work sensitively with what underpins disordered eating patterns.
No two journeys are the same. That’s why our approach is always tailored to the individual. Whether you’re navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, or another form of disordered eating, we honour your pace, your voice, and your experience.
We offer:
- Personalised Nutritional Planning
Thoughtfully developed meal plans that reflect your unique needs, physical health, and stage of recovery—always created collaboratively and respectfully. - Education and Empowerment
Gentle, informative guidance to help dispel nutritional myths, reduce anxiety around food choices, and support a more trusting connection to your body’s cues. - Behavioural and Emotional Support
Exploration of the protective function of disordered eating behaviours, with compassionate strategies to encourage flexibility, self-understanding, and change.
Dietetic input is most powerful when it is part of a broader web of support. At The Surrey Centre, we believe in holding the whole person—and that often means working as a team.
Our dietitians work closely with:
- Therapists, to ensure that emotional and nutritional healing go hand-in-hand
- Families and carers, where appropriate, to strengthen understanding and confidence around food and recovery
- External professionals such as GPs, consultants, and psychiatrists, when needed, to support continuity of care
Together, we create a shared space of safety, support, and possibility.
Recognising that needs vary, we offer flexible options for accessing our dietetic services:
- Standalone Appointments: You can book sessions with our dietitian or nutritionist independently, without engaging in our therapy services.
- Integrated Care: For those in therapy at The Surrey Centre, dietetic support can be seamlessly incorporated into your treatment plan, fostering a holistic approach to recovery.
We are committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Our dietitians and nutritionists approach their work with empathy and understanding, recognising the courage it takes to seek help and the complexities involved in healing from an eating disorder.
Whether you’re taking the first steps towards recovery or seeking to deepen your healing, our dietetic services are here to support you in reconnecting with your body’s wisdom and embracing nourishment as a form of self-care and self-compassion.
If food, eating, or body image feels like something you’re carrying alone - you don’t have to anymore.
