Private Eating Disorder Assessment Package in Birmingham
Home > Private Mental Health Clinics in Birmingham and London >Eating disorders are a growing issue in our culture and affect thousands of people. Anyone can suffer, no matter their age, gender or background.
As these disorders can become life-threatening, careful assessment and treatment are urgent necessities. With our private eating disorder assessment package, you can quickly see our specialist eating disorder GPs, dietitians and therapists to evaluate your condition and plan the first steps towards recovery.
Spotting Eating Disorders
Within care, diagnosing eating disorders can be complex, as symptoms often display themselves slowly, and patients may be sensitive and embarrassed about revealing them to those around them or medical professionals. Offering people affected by eating disorders a safe, non-judgmental environment to discuss their condition is vital.
Another obstacle when diagnosing an eating disorder is that patients may be unaware that they have a disorder. Due to misinformation and poor awareness, many people do not realise that their habits constitute a disorder and that their health may suddenly deteriorate.
The Signs Of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders show themselves in many different ways. There are physical symptoms like weight fluctuations, but also mental symptoms that are often more telling and can signal the condition earlier. It is important to note that eating disorders are often accompanied by other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression or trauma. Our expert professionals can diagnose and treat the following eating disorders:
Our All-Under-One-Roof Approach
Care can come in all different shapes and sizes, but we offer our patients a treatment service that is all in one place. We do everything to limit stress and improve your health and life, and we have collated the best dietitians and therapists available to provide the highest quality in-house care. As part of our assessment package, every step of your treatment plan will take place at our Edgbaston clinic, so there’s no need to trek miles between hospitals and clinics for scans and assessments.
Our Eating Disorder Assessment & Treatment Package
When you come to us for a private eating disorder assessment, we go through multiple stages of medical evaluations to create a bespoke treatment plan that helps you overcome the disorder.
Step 2.
We schedule a 1-hour dietitian assessment with our expert eating disorder dietitian, Arti Dhokia. She will evaluate your eating habits.

We create and agree on a refeeding pathway to counter the effects of the disorder. This pathway includes the number of follow-up appointments required within your tailored treatment package.
Step 4.
We conduct a therapy screening with either Hema Patel or Raj Bassi, depending on your age. Eating disorders are mental health conditions, so our recovery plans always include therapy and physical treatments.
Step 5.
We take blood tests and personal measurements to identify underlying conditions that could impact your habits and health.
Step 6.
Our multidisciplinary team uses all this analysis to agree on a bespoke package for you
Step 7.
We offer you a bespoke package specifying the number of required appointments with our therapists, dietitians and GPs
Step 8.
Once you are happy with the plan, we initiate the bespoke package and start your road to a freer, healthier lifestyle
Meet Our Expert Dietitians and Therapists
We are proud to offer experienced therapists and dietitians to our patients. Their expertise has helped hundreds recover from conditions holding back their health and lives.
Arti Dhokia
Dietitian
Arti is our registered eating disorder dietitian with over fifteen years of experience working in the NHS and some of Birmingham’s distinguished private hospitals. She has shared her knowledge through numerous publications and media outlets like The Guardian, Men’s Health, BBC 1 Newsbeat and the Asian Network.
She specialises in helping patients build healthy relationships with food. Her expertise covers diabetes, cardiovascular health, weight management and gut problems, such as IBS. What's more, she extends her care to patients’ families to create effective support networks.
As an advanced dietitian, Arti also has the expertise to diagnose and treat Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Characterised by patterns of restrictive and avoidant eating, this is a fairly new diagnosis that requires the attention of a specialist. Discover more about our private ARFID treatments.
Hema Patel
Integrative Therapist
Hema specialises in therapy techniques for children and adolescents and provides them with the skills to overcome issues hindering their lives. That could be low self-esteem, negative body image, eating disorders, health anxiety or many other conditions.
Talking therapy is a crucial element of her care. She has seen provable success by discussing complicated emotions with an independent individual rather than a parent or guardian. In some cases, Hema may invite the patient’s parents or guardians to join their sessions. This involvement helps them learn more about the difficulties their child is experiencing and integrate a more manageable treatment plan.
Raj Bassi
CBT Therapist
Raj prides herself on helping patients identify and improve their current skills. She teaches them to use new problem-solving strategies and raise their existing coping skills so they can counter life’s challenges. Like her patients, she is constantly looking for ways to improve herself and her techniques to deliver the best care possible.
Having trained in Birmingham, London and Liverpool, Raj works with children and adults to help them through eating disorders such as bulimia, and lack of self-esteem, amongst many other mental health conditions.
