The teenage years bring rapid change. Bodies grow. Emotions intensify. Social comparison increases. Appetite can shift. Independence develops.

It can be difficult to know what is typical teenage behaviour and what may be a sign of something more concerning.

If you have been wondering whether something feels different with your teenager’s eating, that instinct is important. Early changes are often subtle.

Let’s walk through what to look for in a clear and supportive way.

Learn the early signs of disordered eating in teens, including changes in eating habits, behaviour and mood. A practical guide for parents

A practical guide for families, partners and friends

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re worried about someone you care about.

You may have noticed changes in their eating.

Maybe food has become stressful.

Maybe meals feel tense.

Maybe there’s secrecy, restriction, bingeing, rigid rules, or constant body criticism.

It can feel confusing and confronting.

The question many people type into Google is:

“How do I help someone with disordered eating?”

The fact that you’re asking means you care deeply, and that matters.

When someone begins eating disorder recovery, it’s completely understandable to want quick answers.

Questions like:

Should I be taking supplements?
Do I need to target specific nutrients?
What’s the “right” plan for my body?
These questions often come from a place of wanting relief, certainty, or reassurance and that makes sense.

At Myrtle Oak Clinic, we take a different approach.

Not because those questions aren’t important — but because recovery works best when the foundations are in place first.

Trust, safety & lived experience
At Myrtle Oak Clinic, we know that feeling safe and welcomed is the foundation of meaningful recovery.

Our clients often share that they feel supported from the very first interaction — from a warm welcome at reception, to care that feels respectful, calm, and non-judgemental.

Recovery can involve being gently challenged, having difficult conversations, and sitting with discomfort and it’s essential that this happens in a space where you feel held and supported.

We’re grateful to the people who trust us with their care, and we’re committed to providing support that is compassionate, evidence-informed, and offered at your pace.

💫 Who we help & how care works 🌈

Myrtle Oak Clinic supports people experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, and complex relationships with food — across different life stages and lived experiences.

We work with adolescents, adults, families, and individuals with co-occurring mental health needs, including neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ clients.

Care at Myrtle Oak is collaborative and individualised. Our dietitians and psychologists work together to provide evidence-informed, trauma-aware support that adapts as recovery evolves.

There’s no “right time” or “right way” to seek help. If you’re unsure where you fit, we’re here to help you take the next gentle step.

Who we are at Myrtle Oak Clinic

Myrtle Oak Clinic is a multidisciplinary eating disorder clinic supporting people with eating disorders, disordered eating, and complex relationships with food.

We believe recovery is not linear and care should be compassionate, individualised, and evidence-informed.

Our team works collaboratively to support the whole person, not just the symptoms, creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported at your pace.

You don’t need to be “sick enough” to deserve help.

If you’re unsure where to start, that’s okay — we’re here to help you find the right support.

Recovery isn’t rushed.

It’s built — gently, steadily, and with care.

In eating disorder recovery, the most powerful work often happens at the foundation level:
regular nourishment, consistency, and safety.

It can feel slow.
It can feel uncomfortable.

But this is where real healing begins.
You don’t have to leap ahead or “fix everything” to move forward.

Strong foundations are enough for now.

Support makes all the difference.

If you’re navigating recovery and want compassionate, evidence-informed support, our team is here.
