Vincent Square Eating Disorder Service

Cruel and awful place would recommend going almost anywhere else to find staff that actually care

I have been waiting ages now for an appointment. I am screaming out for help suffering from an eating disorder. Still nothing. This is why I have never bothered to get help.

My therapist German has been an absolute superstar throughout this whole time! It seemed like he genuinely cared for me to get better, he always listened carefully, never judged anything I said, gave me plenty of opportunities to use my own judgment what I thought would be best to do in certain situations. He was firm when he had to be but also has a really warm, caring, but professional demeanor at the same time. He deserves a promotion. We need more therapists like him who actually enjoy their job! He made me feel comfortable at all times and took away the fear from me of weekly weighing sessions. Whenever I felt hopeless and like a failure, my therapist was not too hard on me and was actually really understanding. I could always be myself and never had to lie about anything, regardless of how embarrassing it might have felt to me, which in return made the therapy even more successful because all my written recordings and emotions were fully accurate. The content, modules, and exercises seemed really tailored to me and my struggles and despite there being a lot of homework every week, I found it really useful. The time was utilised in the best possible way, with me having to practice all the learnings from each session, throughout the week before the next session. So lots of progress has been made during this time. My therapist always made sure to reliably send me the resources we discussed at the end of each session and also made sure to answer all my questions in a satisfactory manner. If I compare myself to how I struggled before the CBT vs the end, I noticed that so many things have changed and improved drastically. All the exercises we did kinda led to me having to dig much deeper and I learned about so many things and reasons why I actually started struggling with eating disorders and how I can prevent those going forward. I am really grateful that this service has been provided for free to me through the NHS despite the long (1 year waiting list) and would definitely recommend to anyone. The scary offputting reviews here were absolutely not accurate in my case.

I'm shocked to see bad reviews as I've had nothing but an amazing experience I will keep with me for a lifetime. 9 months spent with an incredibly professional lady who name starts with Cam. I have for the first time in my life by the NHS been listened to with my eating disorder by the Vincent clinic and I'm so grateful to have had such an incredible person working with me. She listened, helped me gain some weight, gave me great techniques and strategies to deal with some of my own personal issues, dealt with my tears and emotional issues, was kind, very down to Earth, and was so professional to the extent she was able to tell me things about myself I hadn't realised but were all true. The psychological things she managed to notice from me only an highly qualified professional would pick up on and I wasn't expecting this. Cam is an absolute asset to the clinic and the NHS, maybe I got lucky to have been given such a great woman to work with I guess I'll never know. I have had an incredible experience and I'm very grateful.
