Therapies & Support

Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT-e, is the leading evidence-based treatment for those living with an eating disorder.

The treatment is a 1:1 treatment that primarily focuses on what is keeping the eating problem going. It is therefore mainly concerned with the present and future. How the problem originated will be addressed as necessary.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Ten or CBT-T is a 10-session therapy for adults and adolescents with non-underweight eating disorders (including bulimia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and others).

CBT-T (the T stands for ‘ten’) has been under development and testing since 2013.

Caraline's Eating Behaviour Group (EBG) is a 12 session course designed to target those areas known to be commonly associated with binge eating disorder.

Based on the techniques and theories of Professor Christopher G. Fairburn's 'Overcoming Binge Eating' you will attend the thirteen-session course followed by a period of maintenance. We then support you with a series of specialist workshops targeting factors that contribute to and maintain an eating disorder.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for ARFID (Avoidant and Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a 20-30 session treatment for individuals living with ARFID. Treatment focuses on helping individuals to overcome any sensory difficulties they may have with food, to overcome any fears of adverse consequences that may occur when eating certain foods and to increase interest in food and eating, while reducing anxiety around social eating.

We offer a welcoming online support group for service users every month. This safe space allows you to share your experiences, seek advice and guidance, and receive encouragement and support. Whether you choose to actively participate or simply listen, you are always welcome to join. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where everyone feels heard and valued.

Caring for someone with an eating disorder can be challenging, and it’s important to know you’re not alone. Our monthly online support group offers a welcoming and safe space for carers and those living with a loved one affected by an eating disorder. Here, you can share your thoughts, feelings, and helpful tips, or simply listen and gain support from others who understand. Email therapy@caraline.com to secure your space.

If you would like to learn and develop coping skills to help manage difficult emotions and life stressors, this group may be helpful for you. This is a skills-based group, not therapy; therefore, we will not be focusing on eating difficulties. This group is offered alongside treatment for eating difficulties.
