Dealing with an eating disorder or suspected eating disorder with your loved one can be a confusing and worrying time.

If you are concerned about your child/adolescent or young adult with regards to their eating behaviour, we offer one-off parent consultation sessions.

These sessions are conducted by co-director, Kellie Lavender or another senior NZEDC clincian.

The consultations focus on helping you understand what may be happening with your loved one and offer initial advice on first steps to take.  Aim is to answer any specific questions you may have and provide guidance on what interventions and treatment might be indicated. Psychodeducation on eating disorders will be provided and helpful advice on where to access resources along with specific strategies on how to help your loved one ‘right now’.

These sessions can be offered immediately and can be helpful while waiting for an assessment if a waiting time applies (either at NZEDC or elsewhere). They are of approximately 60 min duration and offered to parents across Aotearoa and can be in-person or online via Zoom.

Please complete the contact form as usual and state your interest for the One-Off Parent Consultation.

Fee: $230 + GST ($264.50)
