Helpline
We have a confidential Help Line which is available at any time and staffed by volunteers. All of our volunteers are trained in telephone counseling skills and some have personal experience of eating disorders

Callers can feel safe and may talk freely. They can expect to be listened to and not judged.

Telephone 01494 793223 at any time, on any day.

If there is no one available to speak to you when you telephone, someone will call you back within 24 hours, unless you leave a message asking us not to contact you.

If you are not comfortable talking to someone, we also offer a help and support via email: support@eatingdisorderssupport.co.uk
