People should be stable before being accepted for care by us - we will offer consultation and advice during acute phases of medical or psychiatric disturbance, but will not be actively involved in treatment until the person is stable.
We are not a service for people who are obese and want to lose weight. If a person is referred to us for help with over-eating, we are likely to recommend they are referred to a local weight management service to support them with healthy weight loss.
People with binge eating disorder may be offered an evidence-based group recovery programme based on CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). This is an eight-week Managing Binge Eating course which is run by our psychologists and has no upper BMI threshold.
We are happy to discuss any potential referrals on the telephone.
