treatment programme

family therapy & counselling

Families have regular sessions with Dr Dawson or the nurses which coincide with visits to the unit.

We do not accept patients whose family do not agree to attend for family meetings.

In family therapy we try to explore the reason for a child’s wish to starve him/herself. We look at worries and problems there might be for the child and discuss relationships.

In family counselling we deal with parenting issues around feeding a child with an eating disorder as well as issues about exercise.
