“I can’t tell you how much this has impacted my life. And this is after years of therapy and years of trying different things. I’ve never seen so much progress in such a condensed amount of time”
What to expect.
The Heart of Your Recovery
Long-term change—step by step, and side by side.
Recovery isn’t one moment, one method, or one path. It’s a series of turning points—some quiet, some hard-won—held over time with the right kind of care. At Ianthe House, we offer long-term, adaptive support for women ready to move beyond symptom management and into lasting change.
Tailored, Person-Centred Care.
Recovery, on your terms.
Recovery is deeply personal. Whether you’re joining our core Recovery Circle program, also moving into an Ianthe House, or embarking on a tailored 1:1 therapy package, your care is always personalised and responsive.
-
We take time to understand your story, honour your pace, and co-create a pathway that meets you where you are.
Holistic, Whole-Person Healing.
You are more than a diagnosis.
Our evidence-based model draws on somatic, relational and trauma-informed therapy, peer support, lived-experience, and digital tools—woven together to support your mind, body, and nervous system.
-
Whether you need grounding, regulation, or deeper emotional processing, we adapt your plan to reflect the complexity of who you are and what you need to thrive.
Trust & Connection.
Healing through relationship.
From day one, you become part of a close-knit, compassionate community. Our lived-experience team, specialist therapists, and recovery mentors are here not to fix you—but to truly know you.
-
Through gentle assessment, shared reflection, and human connection, we build a space where trust can grow and your recovery becomes one of mutual respect and co-creation.
Long-Term Care, Beyond Recovery.
Because lasting change takes time.
We don’t just help you stabilise—we walk with you into a new way of living. Our support spans the entire arc of your journey, through and beyond the window of highest relapse risk.
-
—from early recovery and relapse prevention to integration and long-term freedom. You’ll be supported not just to recover, but to reclaim a life rooted in meaning, connection, and joy.

“Trust the process and don’t be scared... The step-by-step approach takes you on a journey, and really gives you tools to fall back on when things get hard.”
a phased approach.
A Flexible Pathway
Healing root causes, not just symptoms.
Whether you’re approaching recovery for the first time or finding your way back after many attempts, each of us arrives with a unique story. Some may have only recently begun to name their eating disorder. Others may have spent years in therapy, growth work, or treatment—yet still find themselves caught in familiar patterns.
-
Our phased approach is not a linear program. It’s a flexible constellation of focus areas, designed to meet you where you are and evolve with you.
Each phase holds meaningful, substantive work. Whether you need a steady, supportive space to stabilise and reconnect, or you’re ready to live in full alignment with your deepest values—free from the hold of disordered eating—we’re here to walk beside you.
Phase: Connection & Safety
Establishing the foundations for healing
For many, real recovery begins not with food—but with feeling truly safe in a space where you are deeply seen and not judged.
-
This phase centres around trust, emotional safety, and belonging. We support you to stabilise your daily rhythms, identify unmet needs, and reconnect with your body from a place of compassion. From this grounding, deeper healing becomes possible.
Phase: Trauma & Integration
Meeting and moving through what lies beneath
This phase invites you to safely explore the deeper roots of your struggle—whether that’s relational trauma, self-worth wounds, or intergenerational patterns.
-
Using evidence-based and somatic approaches, you’ll reprocess old pain and integrate new truths. We guide you in creating supportive inner structures so that what you learn doesn’t just make sense intellectually—it lives in your body and choices.
Phase: Agency & Challenge
Reclaiming your power & voice
Challenging patterns and protective behaviours that no longer serve you, from a place of trust and safety.
-
With skilled facilitation, you’ll begin gently confronting the core drivers of disordered eating. We explore boundaries, belief systems, and relational habits—helping you reclaim personal agency and take up space with confidence, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Phase: Purpose & Embodiment
Creating a life that reflects your truth
Real recovery is living a life you love. In this phase, we look ahead to your goals, your values, and the future you want to claim.
-
We support you in stepping into aligned action, setting meaningful goals, and building relationships, routines, and identities that reflect the woman you’re becoming. You’ll begin living from a place of peace, not pressure; desire, not discipline.
Peer Support Groups.
Recovery Circles
You don’t have to do this alone.
Recovery Circles are small, therapist-facilitated groups where 4–6 women meet online weekly, moving through recovery together. These are not drop-in sessions. They're long-term, carefully curated spaces for deep emotional healing, where trust grows naturally, and mutual support becomes a part of your healing.
Over time, Circles become a quiet foundation for recovery: a place where you are truly seen, held, celebrated and supported at every step.
-
Each Circle is carefully curated—considering life stage, ED history, personality dynamics and therapeutic needs—to create a setting where deep, mutual support can grow.
Some Circles are theme-based, like midlife recovery, binge-purge cycles, or post-burnout recovery. Others simply bring together women who are ready to move forward in good company.
If you're living in an Ianthe House, your Circle is part of your weekly rhythm. If you're joining remotely, it becomes a consistent space to return to—one that holds you gently accountable as you grow.
Explore the Circle that feels right for you —or, if you're unsure, we’ll help you find the right fit.
Residential Care.
Ianthe Houses
A home built for recovery.
Ianthe Houses are shared homes for women in recovery—quiet, grounding spaces offering daily connection and compassionate accountability. Designed for those who want to stay rooted in real life while doing the deeper work of healing, they make recovery both possible and sustainable.
Whether you're just beginning your journey, already in therapy, or focused on long-term relapse prevention, our Houses offer a consistent container—held in the quiet presence of community.
-
Residents engage in weekly Recovery Circles, access personalised one-to-one care, and live alongside women who understand what it means to recover through the messy realities of daily life.
The presence of lived experience peers at home offers something rare: gentle accountability and deep understanding, without crowding your autonomy. Because eating disorders thrive in secrecy, the quiet connection of shared recovery can be deeply healing.
Relapse risk is highest in the first 12 months of recovery. While most residential programmes end long before then, Ianthe Houses are built to hold you through this full window—so recovery isn’t just achieved, but becomes truly lived.
Our homes are currently open in London, Cornwall, and Lisbon. If we're not yet in your area, you can request one during your application, or get in touch with us directly.
