What Univa offers
Online eating disorder care for individuals, parents & carers and support for healthcare professionals
Univa provides a range of flexible care options that adapt to your unique needs - whether you’re a teenager or adult living with an eating disorder, or a parent or carer seeking support for a loved one.
For You
If you’re experiencing an eating disorder, Univa helps you take the first step toward recovery - at your own pace.
You can have 1-on-1 online therapy with expert eating disorder therapists, involve your family through family-based therapy sessions, or begin with a self-care programme in our dual-app experience that supports both you and your parents or carer together. You choose the path that feels right for you.
For Parents and Carers
Supporting a loved one with an eating disorder can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to face it alone.
Univa gives you your own dedicated carer app with expert guidance through a structured self-care programme, while your loved one has their own app so you can progress together. You can also book 1-on-1 sessions with our specialist carer coaches or take part in family-based therapy to strengthen communication, confidence, and hope for recovery.
For Healthcare Professionals and Eating Disorder Services
Univa’s pioneering digital care platform enhances the delivery of eating disorder care across NHS and private services.
Through its dual-app design and clinician dashboard, Univa empowers teams to extend therapy beyond sessions, strengthen patient and carer engagement, and connect everyone in one secure, data-driven environment - improving outcomes, capacity, and continuity of care

How Univa helps in real life
“I think Univa has so much to offer. It feels like a friendly companion that guides you towards better health and self-understanding in a gentle and structured way. The focus on positivity, reflection, and privacy makes it an amazing tool for anyone wanting to take care of their wellbeing and be able to express it privately with no judgement.”

“This app is a lifechanger. I wish it was around a few years ago when my daughter was first diagnosed as we had no support.”

If you’re currently receiving therapy elsewhere, we recommend focusing on one structured therapy process at a time to maintain consistency. However, Univa Therapy is a powerful alternative to other private therapy options - offering expert clinicians, evidence-based digital integration, and a dual-app experience that supports both the person with the eating disorder and their family.
Univa offers one of the most comprehensive and effective online supports available for parents and carers. It’s the only platform with a dual-app system - one for the parent or carer, and one for the individual with anorexia or restrictive eating - working together through a structured, self-help care programme.
Univa’s approach is built on the gold-standard, evidence-based therapies recommended by NICE: Family Therapy for Anorexia (FT-AN/FBT) and the New Maudsley Carers Model. Together, these approaches empower families to restore healthy eating, rebuild communication, and reduce stress at home.
With digital care plans, personalised carer coaching, and optional therapy sessions led by eating-disorder specialists, Univa gives families real-world skills and support they can access instantly - anytime, anywhere, without a referral.
