Welcome to Caraline
We are a long term established charity that provides evidence-based therapeutic support for individuals living with eating disorders. The service has been around since 1994, supporting individuals with eating disorders, their carers/loved ones, and organisations (such as schools, universities and places of work).
IMPORTANT SERVICE UPDATE. Due to the high demand for our services, we have made the difficult decision to close our referrals. We will give an update once we are in the position to re-open. Thank you for your patience.

Due to high service demand, we may not be able to respond to your request for service as quickly as we would usually like to. Therefore, a member of our team will contact you within one month of receiving your referral.
