The Imani eating disorder treatment programme is tailored to the individual needs of each client, and takes into consideration the way the disorder manifests itself in a person's lifestyle. Treatment can take 4 weeks to 6 months depending on what is required.

The counselling team guides the individual in learning assertiveness skills, positive body image, self-esteem, feeling management and relapse prevention.

We aim to restore the individual to a place of self-acceptance and self-worth, where he or she can pursue a rich and rewarding life, free of fear and despair.

Activities include:

* One-on-one counselling
* Daily therapeutic community groups
* Psychodynamic groups dealing exclusively with feelings
* Fellowship groups
* Family work
* Meal planning
* Food shopping
* Meal outings
* Theme evenings
* Monitored exercise
* Movement therapy
* Artistic expression
