Welcome to the Next Steps Eating Disorder Clinic
We combine specialist psychological and dietetic support for young people and adults aged 16 and over, who require more than standard outpatient care but do not need inpatient treatment.
Specialist, Enhanced
Eating Disorder Treatment
We are experienced clinicians that deliver evidence-based eating disorder recovery support, compassionate care and treatment for individuals when they need it most.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY
We offer weekly online therapy across the UK with a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist. This provides a safe, supportive space to understand the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that may be contributing to the eating disorder, while developing healthier ways of coping and moving towards recovery.
DIETETIC SESSIONS &
MEAL PLANNING
We offer weekly online sessions across the UK with a Highly Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian. These help individuals rebuild a balanced relationship with food through personalised nutritional guidance, practical support with eating, and education about how nourishment supports both physical and mental health.
ASSESSMENT & FORMULATION
We explore your eating patterns, physical health, thoughts and feelings, current challenges, and personal goals to help us understand your needs and create the most appropriate care plan. We provide you with a specialist assessment report and recommendations.
RELAPSE PREVENTION
We work with you to create a personalised relapse prevention plan towards the end of treatment, including a discharge report with clinical recommendations for your continued recovery. These can be shared with your referrer where appropriate.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
Your psychologist and dietician work together at every step. You will also be invited to Individual Care Review (ICR) meetings with your team halfway through treatment and towards discharge. We can collaborate with existing care providers.
EVIDENCE-BASED
We deliver the highest quality of care based on continuously evolving research, evidence, and national guidance. We skillfully adapt our approach to suit your needs as an individual. We offer trauma-informed and neuro-affirming care.
We work with a range of eating disorders and related difficulties, including:
- Anorexia nervosa
- Bulimia nervosa
- Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
- Orthorexia
- Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)
- Disordered eating
- Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
- Treatment-related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
What recovery can look like:
- Greater freedom around food
- Reduced eating disorder behaviours
- Creating a life worth maintaining recovery for
- Increased confidence
- Better relationships
- Returning to work, education or hobbies
- A stronger sense of identity beyond the eating disorder
Recovery does not happen only during appointments. Many individuals understand recovery but struggle to apply it between sessions.
Our enhanced 12-week pathway offers four clinical contact points each week. This provides regular support, accountability and guidance throughout the week, helping individuals translate recovery goals into daily life.
