The power of personalised daily support in eating disorder recovery
Personalised Daily Support — The Key to Consistent and Empowered Eating Disorder Recovery
Bridging Gaps Between Therapy Sessions
Recovery from an eating disorder is an intricate journey—one that requires more than weekly therapy appointments. Often, the toughest moments come in between those sessions, in the quiet hours when self-doubt creeps in or old habits resurface. At Ianthe House, we understand these challenges and offer a solution: personalised daily support. This unique element of our program ensures that recovery isn’t an isolated endeavor but a continuous, supported journey every step of the way.
Why Personalised Support Matters in Recovery
Recovery Isn’t Linear
Relapse risks are highest in the first 9-12 months of recovery, a period when structured daily support can make the difference between sustained progress and slipping back into disordered behaviors. Personalised daily support addresses this gap, offering participants a consistent anchor to guide them through recovery’s ups and downs.
Beyond Traditional Models
Traditional recovery programs often rely solely on intermittent therapy, which can leave participants feeling isolated in their struggles. Personalised daily support provides a bridge, creating a continuous sense of connection and accountability while fostering emotional resilience and practical skill-building.
How Ianthe House Delivers Personalised Daily Support
Daily WhatsApp Check-Ins
Each day, participants receive a tailored message via WhatsApp from their dedicated recovery guide. These messages may include affirmations, reminders of recovery goals, or suggestions for grounding exercises, all personalised to the participant’s current emotional state and progress. This small yet powerful touchpoint helps participants feel supported and seen, even on challenging days.
Actionable Recovery Prompts
Our daily messages often include practical prompts such as journaling exercises, mindfulness techniques, or reflective questions that encourage participants to actively engage with their recovery. These prompts foster self-awareness and help participants integrate recovery practices into their everyday lives.
Tailored for Every Individual
No two recovery journeys are the same, which is why our daily support is customised to meet each participant’s unique needs. Whether someone struggles with body image, food anxiety, or emotional regulation, the support they receive is designed specifically for them, ensuring it resonates and empowers.
the Evidence Behind Daily Support in Recovery
Research-Backed Benefits
Studies show that consistent, personalised support can significantly enhance recovery outcomes. Participants in programs with daily touchpoints report higher levels of accountability, lower levels of relapse risk, and improved emotional regulation. These findings align with the success observed in Ianthe House’s pilot program, where participants highlighted daily support as a cornerstone of their progress.
Results From Our Pilot Program
Our pilot program demonstrated the profound impact of personalised daily support. Participants reported a 20% increase in perceived support and a 15% reduction in anxiety levels after just eight weeks. These results illustrate how consistent communication fosters trust, motivation, and a sense of safety throughout the recovery process.

Stories of Transformation
Connection That Inspires
One participant shared how receiving a daily message helped her overcome moments of doubt: “Knowing someone understood what I was going through and believed in me made all the difference. It reminded me I wasn’t alone.” Another participant described how tailored affirmations became a grounding ritual, helping her start each day with clarity and intention.
Building Confidence Through Consistency
The consistent presence of daily support helps participants feel secure in their progress. As one participant noted, “The daily check-ins made recovery feel doable, even on the hardest days. I felt like I had a safety net, and that gave me the confidence to keep going.”
