Marino Therapy Centre has 30 years experience successfully helping sufferers of eating disorders to fully recover and live their lives free from the Eating Distress condition.
Marino Therapy Centre was founded by Marie Campion, author of the book Hope, and her husband Gerry. The centre has over 35 years experience successfully teaching people how to live life free from Eating Disorders/Eating Distress.
Marino Therapy Centre’s eating disorders treatment programme provides a comprehensive, supportive, personal and tailored experience for people who require a more structured recovery environment. The centre offers a secure environment full of understanding and empathy. A structured approach using the latest methodology and working with the person’s own model of the world is applied. Each programme is specially tailored for person’s needs.
Marino Therapy Centre supports the recovery from all forms of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and emotional eating.
Education is core to our treatment. Education is from the Latin word ‘educe’ which means ‘draw out, bring out’. We aim to draw the very best out of every person we work with. The work of our MTC team is based on teaching our clients to let go of self-destructive coping mechanisms and learn to experience a Life of Freedom. Our program, based in over 30 years of specialising in Eating Distress / Disorder recovery, provides positive life-changes, cognitive and behavioural changes, emotional guidance and learning to let go of your negative, and pre-conditional thinking.
When you attend Marino Therapy Centre, you become a student of Life.

PHILOSOPHY OF TREATMENT
Marino Therapy Centre treatment is based upon belief that Eating Distress is reaction to environment and affects the whole person, physically, emotionally and spiritually, therefore we need to adopt a holistic view of each person and address all these areas.
The practitioners of Marino Therapy Centre are all highly qualified professionals specialising in the area of Eating Distress. Due to the medical complications of this illness a GP is also attached to the centre.
The client’s family is offered to meet with the practitioner for family education sessions and learn more about the condition, explore its origin and discuss the effect it has on the family. This will help open the lines of communications between the client and the family.
The centre organises group discussions concerning topics associated with Eating Distress, including self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, communication, body awareness and nutrition. Each person is given the opportunity to develop emotionally with increasing responsibility for daily living.
What is recovery?
The first step to a successful journey to help someone recover from ED is to expand one’s knowledge of the condition. Not understanding is dangerous. Many people claim to know a lot about this disease, but often they do not understand the recovery process.
Some people put a lot of energy into finding out the reason why a person has ED. This logical thinking reasons that by rectifying the causes, a person will recover. This is in many cases waste of energy. We need to put all our energy into finding out the reasons for recovery. Recovery means learning how to deal with life’s problems in constructive ways without turning to food or starvation. Recovery involves learning how to get more out of life while learning how to balance life with other things like friendships, work, hobbies and interests. Anything that offers hope has the potential to heal. Hope is more powerful than any other therapeutic technique.
Recovery is about making better choices in life. It is important to learn not to be afraid of recovery. Instead, focus on learning how to enjoy the journey to find the real self. Recovery involves letting go of the desire to be rescued and taking responsibility to find out who we are.
Recovery means something else to every person. But in our experience, we found that nearly everybody’s recovery includes the points listed below.
Recovery is:
- Gaining freedom from food obsession
- Gaining freedom from body obsession
- Learning to know yourself
- Learning to be aware of yourself
- Learning to accept yourself
- Learning to believe in yourself
- Emphasising honesty
- Living in the present
- Taking care of your physical health
- Changing and being open to forming new relationships
- Giving to others and learning to receive
- Being able to talk about your real feelings
- Having clarity of thought
- Increasing spirituality
- Gaining the ability to have real fun in life
- Loving yourself the way you are
