Our Services

Having eating distress or an eating disorder, or supporting someone who has, is quite often a distressing and confusing experience.

EDNE offers a range of services for people across North-East England. We are here to help and listen to you, and try to work with people as early as possible into the illness to help stop the eating disorder from becoming more severe.

Getting in touch is the first step – we know it is often also the hardest – we’re here to listen, without judgement, and provide the support you need.

EDNE offers a range of support and help: Counselling Services, a monthly Families & Friends Support Group, Mindfulness courses, Health and Wellbeing workshops throughout the year, Maudsley training courses for families and friends, and we deliver training and education sessions and courses in schools, colleges, workplaces to professionals and the wider community. 

Do email us, call or link to us via social media to find out more.


We offer

Counselling

We offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and understanding space to give you the time and freedom to talk and explore what is affecting you.

Support for Friends & Family

We know that it can be extremely distressing and bewildering watching a loved one struggling with eating distress/disorder so we offer this support group for friends and families.  

Student Counselling Service

Universities and some colleges have their own counselling service which is free and confidential and is available to all students.

Evening counselling

We also have limited availability for evening sessions, currently on Wednesday evenings (5.00 – 8.00 pm) If you cannot make a daytime session.


Health & Wellbeing workshops

Our health and wellbeing sessions are psychoeducation workshops designed to help you to develop and strengthen your own resources to contribute to your wellbeing.

Learning community

We are bringing together VCSE organisations across the region who wish to learn more about eating distress, access training and peer support, share experiences, and influence pathways and service commissioning. 

Training & Education

Eating Distress Talks, Workshops and Awareness Training for schools, professionals and organisations
