Which of these feels closest to your experience?

Eating less and less.

Anorexia

Mood & Related Conditions

Alongside our specialized eating disorder care, Teule House treats the full range of mood and related conditions affecting girls and women. Each is addressed through our multidisciplinary, whole-person approach,  integrating therapy, medical and nutritional care, social support, and creative and somatic recovery practices.

Mood & Related Conditions

Depression
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, hopelessness, and changes in sleep or appetite that interfere with daily life. Treatment combines evidence-based therapy (such as CBT), medical and psychiatric support where needed, creative and movement-based work, and attention to the social circumstances that sustain low mood.


Anxiety Disorders
Excessive worry, fear, restlessness, and physical tension — including generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety, that disrupt functioning at home, school, or work. Care focuses on understanding triggers, building coping and regulation skills, and gradually restoring confidence and calm.


Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Distressing, unwanted intrusive thoughts (obsessions) paired with repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to relieve anxiety — such as checking, washing, counting, or seeking reassurance. OCD frequently overlaps with eating difficulties, where rigid rules, rituals around food, and an intense need for control mirror or feed disordered eating. Treatment centres on evidence-based approaches such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) and CBT, alongside psychiatric support where needed, helping clients loosen the grip of obsession and compulsion.


Trauma & Post-Traumatic Stress
The lasting effects of abuse, loss, violence, or other overwhelming experiences — including flashbacks, hypervigilance, nightmares, and emotional numbness. Treatment includes trauma-focused therapy (such as EMDR), body-based and somatic processing, and a safe, contained environment in which healing can unfold at the client's pace.


Self-Harm & Suicidal Ideation
Thoughts of suicide and behaviours of self-injury, which often accompany underlying mood, trauma, or eating difficulties. Care prioritises safety, stabilisation, and skills for managing distress, alongside the deeper therapeutic work of addressing the pain beneath the behaviour.


Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders
Depression, anxiety, and related difficulties arising during pregnancy or in the first year after birth — including tearfulness, persistent low mood, overwhelming worry about the baby or one's adequacy as a mother, intrusive fears, and difficulty bonding. Because pregnancy and the postpartum period are high-risk windows for eating difficulties to emerge or return, Teule House is especially attentive to the overlap of mood and eating during this season. Care combines therapy, psychiatric and medical support where needed, nutritional guidance, and gentle, body-honouring recovery work, with referral for acute stabilisation in the rare event of severe symptoms.


Co-occurring Mood & Eating Difficulties
Many clients experience mood and eating struggles together, each feeding the other. Teule House is designed to treat both at once — addressing the emotional roots of disordered eating and the way restriction, bingeing, or purging in turn shape mood, rather than treating either condition in isolation.

Our Levels of Care(Mood & Eating Disorders)

Teule House offers a continuum of care that meets each client where they are. Clients can step up to a more intensive level or step down to a lighter one as their needs change, ensuring care that is neither too little nor more than required.

Outpatient (OP)
The lightest level of support, for clients who are medically and psychologically stable and able to function in daily life. Care is delivered through regular scheduled sessions — typically weekly therapy, occasional assessment reviews, and medication or nutrition check-ins — while the client continues to live at home, work, or attend school. The focus is on maintaining recovery, building skills, and preventing relapse.


Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
A step up from standard outpatient care, for clients who need more structure than weekly sessions but do not require daily supervision. Clients attend the centre several times a week for a few hours at a time, taking part in individual therapy, group work, and meal or mood support, while still living at home. It suits those stepping down from a higher level or those whose symptoms are escalating and need closer monitoring.


Partial Hospitalisation / Day Programme (PHP)
A structured, full-day programme (without overnight stay) for clients who need intensive, daily clinical support but are medically stable enough to return home in the evenings. Days are built around therapy, supervised meals, group sessions, psychoeducation, and movement or somatic work. PHP serves as a bridge — either stepping down from residential care or stepping up to prevent the need for it.


Residential
A live-in level of care for clients who need round-the-clock therapeutic support in a safe, contained environment, but who are not in acute medical crisis. Residents follow a full daily structure of individual and group therapy, supervised meals, skills work, and faith-integrated and somatic recovery practices, with 24-hour staffing. It is designed for those whose home environment cannot yet support recovery or whose symptoms require sustained, immersive intervention.


Acute / Medical Stabilisation (by referral)
For clients in medical or psychiatric crisis — for example, severe physical complications of an eating disorder or acute risk to life — who require hospital-based, 24-hour medical care. Teule House coordinates referral to an appropriate inpatient facility, then receives the client back into residential or day care once they are stabilised.

A Theme We Hold Throughout: Grief & Loss
Grief runs quietly beneath many of the conditions we treat. The loss of a loved one, a relationship, a pregnancy, health, safety, or the life one imagined can disrupt eating and deepen low mood , sometimes becoming the very thing that triggers or sustains an eating disorder, as controlling food becomes a way to manage what cannot be changed. Recovery itself can surface grief, too, for the years and relationships an illness has taken. Rather than treating grief as a separate diagnosis, our therapists attend to it as a thread woven through trauma, mood, and eating work , giving each client room to mourn, at her own pace, as part of true healing.
