Maudsley - Family Based Therapy (FBT)
Maudsley Family-Based Therapy (FBT) is a leading, evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents living with eating disorders. It is most commonly used to treat Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and other restrictive eating behaviours in young people.
FBT empowers parents and carers to play an active role in their child’s recovery. Rather than placing responsibility solely on the young person, this approach brings the whole family together to support nourishment, interrupt disordered behaviours, and create a safe environment for healing.
FBT has three phases:
-
Restoring weight and physical health with parental support
-
Gradually returning control of eating back to the young person
-
Addressing developmental and family dynamics that support long-term recovery
At Evolving Minds Counselling, we understand the emotional toll eating disorders can take on the entire family. Our FBT-trained clinicians provide compassionate, practical guidance to help families work together toward lasting change.
