Orri is a private eating disorder treatment clinic in London, providing intensive day treatment and outpatient services in person and online. We are the only specialist eating disorder clinic in the UK to be rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) across all five inspection areas.

Our mission is to provide a ‘stepped approach’ to recovery that offers an alternative to inpatient hospitalisation. We treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, providing specialist eating disorder treatment for young people and adults aged 13+, with flexible weekly support, including more intensive full and part day programmes for those aged 16 and over.

At Orri, we believe that recovery is possible for everyone. We operate as a deeply collaborative, multidisciplinary team where every role, from our specialist clinicians to our operations and support team members, plays a vital part in our clients' journey toward freedom.
