About Us
We are a team of passionate, knowledgeable and experienced professionals who have come together with one goal – to help you recover from your eating disorder.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide compassionate, sustainable care that supports lasting recovery for everyone living with an eating disorder. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses the whole person, ensuring that our clients not only recover but thrive.
Our History
The Eating Disorder Recovery Clinic was founded in 2023 by Richard Palmer, a specialist eating disorder psychotherapist with a deep commitment to helping people recover. Before launching the clinic, Richard worked independently but demand for treatment was so high that he was often fully booked and faced the painful reality of turning people away, knowing how few options were available.
Driven by a passion to make expert, compassionate care more accessible, he established the clinic to offer something different: personalised, specialist support grounded in the belief that full recovery is possible – including for you.
Our Values
Compassion
You’ll be met with warmth, empathy, and understanding from the moment you reach out. We know how hard it can be to ask for help, and you’ll be treated with kindness and respect every step of the way.
Integrity
You can expect honesty, fairness, and clear communication. We’ll always be upfront about what we can offer and we’ll never make promises we can’t keep. You deserve care that is ethical, transparent, and grounded in what’s best for you.
Hope
Even if you’re not sure recovery is possible, we’ll hold that hope for you. We believe things can change — and we’ll walk alongside you, celebrating progress and helping you build a future that feels worth living.
Empowerment
Your voice matters. You’ll be involved in every part of your treatment, from setting goals to shaping how we work together. We’re here to support you in building the confidence, knowledge, and tools you need to take back control.
Professionalism
You’ll be supported by qualified, experienced specialists who take your care seriously. Sessions are delivered with consistency, confidentiality, and care — grounded in best practice and a commitment to doing things properly.
