Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM)

Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) at Mind Body Well

Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) is an approach used by Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well to support people with eating disorders in a flexible and client-centred way. SSCM combines psychoeducation, emotional support and practical strategies to improve eating behaviours and overall well-being.

SSCM helps people explore the underlying factors contributing to their eating difficulties while fostering motivation for change. This approach is particularly useful for those who prefer a structured yet adaptable treatment that aligns with their personal goals.

If you’re looking for supportive, evidence-based care for eating concerns, our Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well are here to help. Therapeutic approaches are determined in consultation between the Psychologist and client, after a thorough assessment has been conducted.
