Registration

We accept self referrals and referrals from third parties with the person's consent and we can work with people who are 16 and over with mild to moderate eating distress.

The first step is to complete this registration form. You will receive email acknowledgement that we've received your referral, usually within one week.

You will then be contacted via email with further information about our service, and how to book an initial assessment appointment. You will generally receive this within 1-3 weeks.

You will then attend an initial assessment with one of our experienced counsellors.

Our counsellor will take some more information from you; tell you about our services and answer any questions you might have; and discuss practical considerations like when you're available for counselling and whether you'd like to see someone face to face or online.

If you have any difficulties completing the online registration form please call us on 0191 221 0233.

Please note that we may not be the right service for you if:

• You have a severely low weight (a BMI of below 17.5). We would encourage you to visit your GP for a referral to NHS Eating Disorders Service who would be the more appropriate service for you.
• Are purging (self-induced vomiting/laxative use/excessive exercise) on a daily basis.  We would encourage you to visit your GP for a referral to NHS Eating Disorders Service who would be the more appropriate service for you.
• Have a condition or diagnosis which may impair your ability to engage with the counselling process, however we can and will make reasonable adjustments wherever possible so you can access our services.
• If you are receiving counselling or psychological therapy with other services, we will not usually be able to start your counselling sessions at EDNE until this work has ended.
• You are experiencing a mental health crisis. We are not a crisis service and we would encourage you to contact the relevant crisis service.
