TAILORED TREATMENT
We whole-heartedly believe that each individual is unique, and therefore treatment needs to be highly personalised to meet you where you are. And, we also think it's helpful for you to have an idea of what you can expect from treatment.
01
Booking & Initial Assessment
You can book your initial assessment through our online booking system or via phone or email, with or without a referral. In this appointment, we'll cover a broad range of things as its important that we get a holistic picture of whats happening for you.
02
Collaborative Treatment Planning
Once your assessment is complete, we'll work together to design a tailored treatment plan with clear treatment goals. This will include discussing what you need, your goals & the frequency and types of available treatment.
03
Therapy & Intervention
Once we've got a comprehensive treatment plan, we'll start to focus on understanding what has happened and what's keeping you stuck. Through treatment, its important that we monitor and track progress to ensure you're benefiting and so we can make adjustments if need be.
04
Maintenance & Relapse Prevention
As you keep progressing, our sessions will become less frequent and we'll start to shift our focus to maintaining the positive changes you've made. We'll work towards ensuring you've got a strong support network and a good plan if things ever start to slip. Our aim is to help you achieve sustainable recovery, long-term.
ABOUT THE CLINIC
_edited_edited.jpg)
The Balanced Self Clinic was established to provide comprehensive and personalised treatment for eating disorders and co-occuring mental health issues, deigned to meet you wherever you are. Our aim is to work with you to identify the patterns that may be holding you back or keeping you stuck. We know that the same things don't work for everyone, which is why we're focused on working with you to figure out what's going to work for you.
At The Balanced Self Clinic, we are dedicated to creating a space where you feel comfortable in sharing openly about the challenges you’re facing and feel safe to engage courageously in therapy. By developing individualised treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, we’ll work together to foster self-confidence, build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and support you in achieving your personal goals.
We offer a range of evidence-based treatments for eating disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns. Modalities offered include Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Family Based Treatment (FBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and self-compassion and mindfulness approaches.
