We’re pleased to invite you to a special hybrid event on Tuesday 8th July 2025, marking the launch of the SPEAKS Therapy Guidebook. Rooted in Emotion Focused Therapy and Schema Therapy, and developed using insights from client lived experience, SPEAKS is an approach developed to support people with longstanding anorexia or those who have additional complexity or neurodivergence.

 📆 Date: 8th July 2025

🕛 Time: 12:00–1:30 PM (UK)
📍 Location: The Amelia Scott, Tunbridge Wells

💻  Alternative location: Online via Zoom

This event will introduce the SPEAKS approach, but most importantly, it centres the voices and experiences of those who have lived through and continue to navigate eating disorders.

We are honoured to be joined by:

• Hope Virgo – Author, international campaigner, and Secretariat of the APPG for Eating Disorders. Hope will share insights from recent policy work, findings from the APPG’s latest report, and her personal recovery journey.
• Hannah Hickinbotham – Founder of the Full of Beans podcast and mental health digital marketing expert. Hannah will speak about her experience of atypical anorexia, her inspiring podcast, and how the SPEAKS approach supported her in recovery.
   

This is an opportunity to reflect, learn, and consider how we can contribute to improving care for individuals with enduring eating disorders.

We’d be delighted to see you there!
