Family or Group Based Therapy
Tidal Health specialises in Maudsley Therapy, with our therapists having years of experience supporting families and their children.
Tidal Health is passionate about family approaches to treatment, given its effectiveness and ability to strengthen family relationships and improve the family dynamic.
Our Process
The Maudsley Approach was originally developed as a therapeutic intervention for anorexia nervosa but has evolved to encompass treatment for a range of eating disorders, including bulimia nervosa and binge eating. Demonstrating significant effectiveness, particularly among adolescents grappling with an eating disorder for less than three years, this method serves as a cornerstone in recovery for adolescents. Active participation and involvement of parents or family members is pivotal for its success, highlighting the importance of their willingness and involvement in treatment.
Maudsley FBT is a highly structured and attentive outpatient treatment that typically involves the family working together for approximately 6-12 months to help their child recover from this life-threatening illness.
Maudsley FBT is comprised of three stages:
Weight restoration
Returning control of eating back to the young person
Establishing a healthy adolescent identity
We appreciate that each family and support network has different dynamics and strengths. We will take time to understand this and recommend a therapy or informed approach to best support your unwell loved one and the family unit.
"My journey with Steph has been lifechanging
For the first time in my life, I was not told to take pills or drink potions. We actually looked at things I did not realise were the actual issues until they were unlocked and healed. When I was ready, Steph guided me to get my eating on track to create a healthy mind, heart, and body. I tell everyone my story because it’s the first time I ever felt in control of my own destiny and health.”
