Specialist clinic unveils new ‘state-of-the-art’ Central London day treatment facility

Orri, a specialist clinic in London’s Harley Street Medical Area, has opened a new ‘state-of-the-art’ day treatment facility on Wimpole Street in Central London for patients seeking support for eating disorders.

The new clinic will provide both in-person and online treatment for patients. The new six storey, purpose-built and trauma informed space houses the clinic’s intensive day treatment programme, facilitating individual and group therapy sessions, as well as meals and dietetic support.

The original centre on Hallam Street in London has since become the home of its new in-person outpatient services, offering one-to-one sessions with eating disorder specialists.

All programmes follow a ‘stepped approach’, meaning that treatment evolves with each individual client as they progress in recovery. The treatment blends evidence-based and ‘innovative’ approaches together, incorporating the latest research and the clinic’s own Research & Development, to ensure clients are offered ‘best-in-class’ treatment for recovery.

The programmes draw upon a number of therapeutic modalities to understand and overcome the underlying cause of the eating disorder whilst healing the day-to-day, behavioural symptoms in tandem, ensuring a holistic and sustainable recovery process.

Kerrie Jones, founder and CEO of Orri, commented: “Orri was founded to offer a new choice of outstanding and innovative treatment for eating disorder recovery.

“It is for this reason that we were drawn to the Harley Street Medical Area and Howard de Walden for their long-standing community of pioneering healthcare professionals who hold one another accountable to providing expert care.”

Eating disorders continue to represent the highest mortality risk of any psychiatric condition. It is believed that over 1.25 million people in the UK are struggling with one, and rates are continually rising.

Early and effective treatment is vital if the risk of lives being lost or impaired is to be reduced. However, access to specialist treatment varies markedly across England and waiting times can delay the provision of appropriate intervention.

The clinic was founded by Kerrie Jones, a leading Psychotherapist in the treatment of eating disorders, and previous lecturer on an MSc in Attachment Studies at Roehampton University.

Kerrie has delivered training throughout the UK on Eating Disorders and Attachment and is a former Eating Disorder Lead at a leading eating disorder service where she worked with clients in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
