Assessment

Assessment process

If you are offered an assessment, you will be encouraged to complete a series of questionnaires about the difficulties you are experiencing.

These questionnaires help us understand your clinical needs and determine the most appropriate type of support or treatment.

If ACED treatment is not appropriate

If, after assessment, we feel that ACED’s treatment pathways are not the best option for you, we will signpost you to other sources of support, where available.

If treatment is offered

If you are offered a treatment package through our service, this will be discussed and agreed with you following your assessment.

You may also be invited to a pathway review to ensure that you are happy with your treatment plan.

Treatments we offer

We currently provide the following treatments:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – Ten sessions (CBT-T)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – Enhanced (CBT-E)
• Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA)
• Guided self-help for bulimia and binge eating disorder (GSH)

Physical health monitoring

Monitoring of physical health – such as weight and height – is required as part of your assessment and/or treatment with our service.

Sharing information

We will share relevant and up-to-date information about your care with your GP and any other NHS professionals involved in your treatment.

With your consent, we can also share this information with carers, family members, or other individuals who support you.

Concerns or questions?

If you have any concerns or questions about your assessment or treatment, please contact our administration team. They will help you directly or put you in touch with a duty clinician for further support.
