About Our Approach
High Quality Care
All clinicians at NZEDC are highly trained in evidence based eating disorder treatments and have a good understanding of the complexities of eating disorder presentations. We attend regular expert supervision and seek out regular professional development opportunities. Our clinicians are dedicated to expert care with several of them certified or undergoing certification in FBT.
Backed by scientific evidence
We consider it our responsibility to provide you (and your family) with information about the illness and available treatment options based on latest research and evidence. Treatments offered at NZEDC are all evidence based and delivered to fidelity while also recognising individual needs.
We encourage you to give us a call to talk about your needs or, if you are ready, make an appointment for an assessment.
A Comprehensive treatment team
We recognise the importance of having a comprehensive treatment team around you and having the ease of your treating team working closely together under one roof.
As well as specialist therapeutic treatment we offer specialist medical/psychiatric and nutritional consultations as part of treatment as required.
Provision of supervision and training
We offer specialist training, consultation and supervision to individuals/teams and groups across New Zealand and globally in our effort to disseminate evidence based treatment and quality care.
Please note that we are unable to provide treatment for those requiring management of acute psychiatric or medical risk. e.g. acute suicidality or severe medical instability.
What to Expect
- Once contact has been made we will call you to discuss what kind of help you are looking for.
- We will then arrange a time for an initial assessment to take place.
- Following this we will be able to discuss treatment options with you and arrange appropriate follow-up appointments which may include specialist medical/psychiatric or nutritional consultations.
- We will liaise with your GP to link in treatment with regular medical monitoring.
- It may also be agreed that inclusion of other family members or partners is indicated which we will discuss with you at the time.
