The Eating Disorder Specialists (TEDS)

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Clare Steedman and Rachael Alder-Byrne, the clinical directors of TEDS – the eating disorder specialists. Clare is a specialist occupational therapist and systemic psychotherapy practitioner, and Rachael is a specialist art therapist and EMDR therapist.

Clare and Rachael provide eating disorder treatment for individuals 16 years and over which is highly specialised and based on an integrative therapy approach, considering you as a whole person with past, present, and future challenges that may be preventing your recovery that they support their clients to work through.

In this weeks episode, we discuss the service provided by Clare and Rachel at TEDS, and how their clinical experience has shaped the values they hold at TEDS. We discuss how their treatment differs from a more typical eating disorder treatment pathway, holding the past, present, and future within your treatment process.

We also discuss Clare and Rachael's specialties, including family therapy, EMDR, arts psychotherapy, and how they provide an integrative approach to their clients. Ultimately, TEDS see their clients as a whole, and not just their eating disorder, which shines through in this conversation.
