Selective Eating

Anthony has completely changed my life!For about 15 years or so I have been very restricted on what I could eat due to ARFID. After just 1 session with Anthony he has cured my disorder and I am able to try anything that is put in front of me. I have found so many new things that I love already and cannot thank him enough.

Although it's only been a week or so since we visited Anthony with our 12 y/o son, we've already seen a big improvement. He is now willing to try all sorts of food without any persuasion, which was unheard of before. It's clearly going to take time to incorporate loads of new things into his regular meals, but after no progress from the age of about 3, with a very limited diet, this is a really big achievement for him. We are more relaxed as parents, and he's happy now we actually understand what he feels about food. I can't thank Anthony enough, his approach makes sense in a way most other practitioners don't, from what I can see. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The fact that this is the first online review I have written about anything, ever, hopefully says something.

We went to see Anthony for my 11 year old son who has struggled to eat different variety of foods since he was five months old. I am so glad that we have seen Anthony as my son started trying different foods that I wouldn't even dream of. Thanks for helping us Anthony and I hope that so many people struggling out there can reach out to you

After only a 2 hour Skype session with Anthony my life changed so much for the better! After 20 years of only eating bread, plain pasta and chips, I’m now trying new things everyday and finding things I both love and don’t like, but being able to try them without a mental block has been a blessing thanks to Anthony!Anthony made the whole process comfortable every step of the way, I highly recommend his services as with every day that passes my world of eating gets better thanks to his work!

My son (20 years old) had struggled with a limited diet and more recently a reduced appetite leading to weight loss. He had a Skype session 4 weeks ago with Anthony and now says he wants to eat food and enjoys food, words we thought we would never hear.Thank you so much Anthony for your help with Arfid/Sed, we now have a young man who is looking forward to a positive relationship with food.

Since seeing Anthony, I’ve eaten things that I didn’t ever think I’d eat & without the stress of trying something new.Anthony made me feel comfortable when I arrived, even though I was very nervous. It was the first time I’d spoken to someone who seemed to truly understand ARFID & the enormous impact it has on every aspect of your life.My recovery will be baby steps, having lived with this condition for 35 years, but progress is progress and I won’t give up!

My son has had problems with eating for a long time. He is now 15 and it was effecting his social life. He could no longer go out with friends and enjoy things a teenager should. I discovered he was suffering from ARFID and found someone who knew all about this. Anthony Tait has given him a glimmer of hope. After one session, just one, my son has tried at least ten new things in so many days. He does not struggle to put them in his mouth. He is comfortable around new foods and is willing to try something other than his safe foods. I had almost given up on ever finding help, thank goodness we found Anthony Tait. I am so happy with the results and feel my son will now have the prospect of a fuller life. I have asked, begged and pleaded for someone to help and the difference Anthony Tait has made in mine and my son’s life is incredible. He is not in excruciating pain whenever he tries new things, he is just willing and open to new tastes. It is small amounts, but I can see hope in the future and I have to say a huge thank you.

I have suffered with ARFID my entire life (24yo) and had accepted the fact I was always going to be a ‘fussy eater’. I would eat a small range of plain foods, no sauces and had a real phobia of cheese. The majority of food I didn’t even know what it tasted like, but I physically couldn’t try it.When I came across Anthony’s website after watching Extreme Food Phobics, I decided to book a session with him. I was quite sceptical as to whether this would work for me as it was so hard to imagine eating any new foods. However, after just one 2 hour session, my life really has changed.Anthony explained during the session the causes of ARFID and the effect this has on the brain. It was great to speak to someone who understands that this was a real fear of food and not a choice.I took a range of food with me to the session that I found disgusting and wouldn’t dream of trying. I was in total shock at the end of the session when I actually tried the food without fear! There was no pressure to try but I found myself actually wanting to for the first time in my life.It has been a few weeks since the session and I have continued to try new foods each day. I tried curry for the first time in my life and it is amazing! I can’t believe I’ve missed out on so many good meals for so long due to a fear I’ve had. This has had such a positive experience on my life to the point I’ve been able to order off the menu in a restaurant (without requesting this plain).I am so grateful for Anthony’s help, thank you so much for offering this to people suffering with ARFID when there’s limited treatment available. If you are thinking about booking a session, I would definitely recommend going for it! I’m so glad that I did.

Anthony was a great help, I was very sceptical that even just a couple of hours could really change my life and my relationship/fear with food, which I’ve had since I was 4 (now 25).Two hours later I was trying new foods I hadn’t ate in decades or even dreamt of, and since my session have been able to try even more. Before seeing Anthony doing so would have been extremely challenging, to the point of impossible.To anyone struggling I highly recommend and just know you’re not as alone as you think!Here’s to a healthier future.

Our 15 year old son could only eat basic dry food. After 1 session with Anthony he is exploring a variety of foods with great success. The amazing part to us is how he actually has no hesitation in putting any food in to his mouth where previously he would have gagged and given up! We had basically stopped trying and had become accustomed to what we decided was very “picky” eating. To have this treated as a phobia and to see the results so quickly is beyond all of our expectations.
