Private and Discreet Anorexia Nervosa Treatment
Treating the Whole Person
Anorexia Nervosa is not just any ordinary eating disorder; it’s a dangerous disease that has plagued millions worldwide. It’s a disorder that makes you fear food, and not just any food, but even the slightest possibility of gaining weight. It’s like being stuck in a horror movie, trapped in a never-ending cycle of self-loathing and deprivation.
The disorder is not just limited to physical symptoms but also affects mental and emotional well-being. It distorts your body perception, making you feel overweight, even when you’re not. It’s like living in a house of mirrors, where the image reflected is never accurate.
The worst part is that the disorder can have serious health consequences that can be life-threatening. Anorexia can cause severe malnutrition, leading to organ damage, hormonal imbalances, and even death if left untreated. It’s like playing Russian roulette with your health.
At Addcounsel, we have an excellent understanding not only of the complete range of eating disorders, but also of how these compulsions can interact with other illnesses. We understand how sensitive and delicate these issues may be, therefore we provide discreet residential eating disorder treatment in a safe, private setting.
Our goal is to treat not only the symptoms of your eating disorder, but also to identify the underlying causes. World-class experts in a variety of professions – including psychotherapy, hepatology, nutrition, and a variety of other disciplines – will take a holistic, 360-degree approach, laying the groundwork for long-term recovery.
In the comfort and privacy of our discrete, luxury premises in Mayfair, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Notting Hill, London, our experienced team will assist and guide you through the entire procedure from start to finish.
Symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa
The symptoms of anorexia nervosa can be physical, behavioural, and emotional. Physical symptoms include extreme weight loss, low blood pressure, slowed heart rate, constipation, and dehydration.
Behavioural symptoms may include obsessive-compulsive behaviours, such as a preoccupation with food, calories, and dieting, as well as avoidance of social situations that involve food. Emotional symptoms may include depression, anxiety, and a distorted self-image. People with anorexia often have a deep sense of shame and guilt around food and eating and may deny that they have a problem.
Causes of Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is a complex disorder with various contributing factors. Genetics can play a role, as research has shown that the condition tends to run in families. Environmental factors such as societal pressure to be thin and media images of idealized bodies can also contribute.
Traumatic life events such as abuse or bullying can lead to low self-esteem and a desire to control one’s body. Psychological factors such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and perfectionism can also contribute to the disorder. Individuals with anorexia nervosa often have a distorted self-image and an intense fear of gaining weight.
The pursuit of thinness may provide a sense of achievement or validation. Understanding these factors is essential to effectively treating and preventing anorexia nervosa.

Luxury Anorexia Treatment
Anorexia nervosa is a severe condition that requires professional treatment. Treatment goals are to restore the individual to a healthy weight, address any underlying psychological issues, and prevent relapse. Anorexia treatment typically involves a combination of medical, psychological, and nutritional interventions.
Addcounsel provides inpatient care to individuals battling Anorexia at one of our luxury residential properties in Mayfair, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and Notting Hill, London. Our highly individualised program of care is developed specifically for each individual depending on your requirements and may include the following therapies and treatments:
Medical Treatment
Medical treatment for anorexia nervosa involves addressing any physical complications resulting from the disorder, which may include hospitalization to stabilise your weight, restore fluids and electrolytes, and address any medical complications, such as heart or kidney problems.
Psychological Treatment
Psychological treatment for anorexia nervosa typically involves a combination of individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a commonly used treatment approach that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviours around food and eating. Other psychotherapeutic approaches, such as interpersonal therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy, may also be helpful for individuals with anorexia nervosa.
Nutritional Treatment
Nutritional treatment for anorexia involves working with a registered dietitian to develop a meal plan that meets the individual’s dietary needs and supports weight gain. The meal plan may involve gradually increasing the individual’s calorie intake, focusing on nutrient-dense foods.
Eating Disorder Treatment
Anorexia nervosa is one type of eating disorder, but there are other types. Bulimia Nervosa, Binge-eating Disorder, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder are other examples of eating disorders. Treatment for eating disorders generally involves a similar combination of medical, psychological, and nutritional interventions tailored to the specific needs of the individual.

We pride ourselves on focussing on clinical excellence, meaning that we are client focussed but results driven. We understand what it is to work with wealthy clients; we know that it is not always easy and we know how to treat the complex and unique challenges it can entail.
We carry out a thorough diagnosis with our team of expert medical and psychiatric practitioners; this enables us to not only know what the client’s immediate problem is but the underlying factors which may be affecting it.

We are well equipped to match both our clients therapeutic and lifestyle needs, and we provide ongoing care plans with the goal of enabling our clients to have long lasting and consistent recovery.
Our treatment programs are delivered on a case-by-case basis. Humans are all individuals, and at Addcounsel we recognise that. This is why our program is always tailored to the needs of the client as a person, rather than trying to apply a “one-size-fits-all” treatment model. However, some of the therapies our clients can expect to receive are:
- Psychotherapy
- EMDR
- Family Systems Therapy
- Spiritual counselling
- Mindfulness
- RTMS
- Somantic Experiencing
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – CBT
- Positive psychology
- Hypnotherapy
In short, no. Our staff are very experienced in dealing with high-profile individuals and as such we understand the value of complete privacy. The only way that someone will find out that you attended Addcounsel is if you choose to tell them.
Our treatment programs are bespoke, and as such they do not have to have a set finish date. If you decide that you need to extend your stay with us, then we will extend your stay as long as you want.
If you decide that you need additional help upon leaving treatment, we offer tailored aftercare plans which can be carried out all over the world. This means that at any point you can have a member of our team with you, wherever you decide to go.
Absolutely. At Addcounsel, we pride ourselves on minimal disruption to the lifestyles of our clients. We want them to feel at home and comfortable during their time with us, so your staff can either stay with you or we can accommodate them in one of our exclusive Central London properties. We do provide a chef, but you are of course welcome to bring your own.
Addcounsel is also able to provide house staff, butlers, and private security if our clients require it.
