BEAT Eating Disorders

  • Information, helpline, help-finder directory, online support and resources to support you or someone you care for who may be experiencing an eating disorder. 

What to expect

If you contact the Helpline, you will speak to a trained advisor experienced in providing support, information and signposting to people in a similar situation to you. Their helpline is action focused, giving you a space to explore your concerns and identify next steps.

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to use our Helpline.

Helpline advisors are trained to:

  • Offer a supportive space for you to explore your feelings and thoughts around eating disorders.
  • Provide information about eating disorders. When they do not have the information that someone is looking for, they might be able to give you some ideas about who might be able to help.
  • Explore options for help with eating disorders and to enable you to come to your own decisions about what might be best for you. This might include NHS treatment, private therapy, support from charitable organisations, peer support or self-help.

How to refer into the service

Helplines are open from 3pm – 8pm, Monday to Friday.

Support on the Helpline is available by phone, email, webchat through social media accounts and by letter. Calls to the helpline are free from landlines and mobile phones within the UK and do not appear on itemised bills. 

Sometimes lines are busy. If you can't get through immediately, please do try again or try the  one-to-one web chat or send an email.
