Our ARFID Service & Treatment Support
Individualised support for people experiencing ARFID.
Our dedicated ARFID pathway includes specialist assessment, structured group support, 1:1 therapy, and support for carers.
One-to-One Psychological Therapy for ARFID
Individual support, centred around you.
ARFID can present differently from person to person. At Lilac Tree Clinic our one-to-one psychological therapy provides space to explore your individual experiences, identify the difficulties you would like help with, and work towards meaningful goals.
Psychological approaches tailored to the individual.
Depending on your assessment and clinical needs, psychological therapy may draw on approaches such as:
1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT can help people explore the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and work towards changes that are relevant to their individual difficulties.
2. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT-based approaches can support the development of skills relating to emotional regulation, managing distress, and responding to difficult experiences.
Is one-to-one therapy right for me?
We welcome enquiries from people who would like to understand their options, including those considering self-referral.
A Specialised Pathway for ARFID
Support for ARFID should reflect the needs of the individual, rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our dedicated ARFID pathway brings together different options for assessment, psychological support and guidance for those supporting someone with ARFID.
Specialist Assessment
Structured Group Support
Individual Therapy
Support for Carers
Finding the Right Support Starts with Assessment
There is no single approach that suits everyone experiencing ARFID. Understanding your individual circumstances helps inform decisions about the type of support that may be appropriate.

Supporting Sustainable Progress
Support should be about more than the immediate difficulties someone is experiencing. It should also consider their individual goals, changing needs, and the role that eating-related difficulties play in everyday life.
At Lilac Tree Clinic, we aim to help people understand the factors maintaining their eating difficulties, develop healthier coping strategies, reduce problematic eating-related behaviours, improve emotional wellbeing and support meaningful progress towards individual recovery goals.
The focus of treatment will depend on the person’s individual needs and clinical circumstances.
