groups as often or as little as you wish. SUN groups offer peer support.
Members both offer and receive support at different times. Two health
professionals facilitate the group. All of the support provided by
Lewisham SUN Project happens within the groups themselves, in a
confidential and safe space. New members are helped to complete a Crisis

stress and any challenges in life, so that the group knows how best to

children and adolescents with eating and feeding disorders.
Our team combines a highly specialist knowledge in eating disorders
with expertise in evidence-based treatments which support families to

Our services:
The Eating Disorders Clinic
The Eating Disorders Clinic serves children and teens who live
locally, and are registered to a GP in Bexley, Bromley, Croydon,
Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham or Southwark. It offers treatment for all
eating disorders except ARFID and feeding disorders, which are treated
in our other clinics.
Our outpatient service is accessible and responsive. If you think you
need help you can simply make a self-referral
, or if you are a family member you can refer
a loved one
. If you are a professional (e.g. school nurse or GP) please refer here
. You can also call us during our office hours (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) on
020 3228 2545.
We aim to see all routine referrals within 28 days, urgent referrals
within 7 days, and emergency referrals within 24 hours. If in doubt,
please do not hesitate to refer.
Intensive Treatment Programme:
The Intensive Treatment Programme (ITP) is a day programme for young
people who are already in treatment for an eating disorder, but need a
bit of extra support.
At ITP, we see under 18s living in England who have an eating disorder
and feel like their treatment is not progressing despite everyone's best
efforts. ITP is a day programme so young people and family members need
to be able to commute daily to ITP.
If you have not been treated for an eating disorder before, we always
suggest contacting your local specialist service before even thinking
about ITP. For most people, this is more than enough.
If you are already in treatment and still feel that you need more
support, ITP might be for you. Just ask your practitioner to get in
touch with us.
The ARFID Clinic
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, or ARFID, is very different
from anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders. The ARFID and Related
Disorders Clinic offers targeted treatment for ARFID and other feeding
disorders. We provide detailed assessments and specialised therapy for
children and teens with various avoidant or restrictive eating behaviours.
We know that different people struggle with their food intake for
different reasons. At the ARFID clinic, we pay close attention to your
individual situation, so that we can carefully select the treatments
that will be most effective for you.
