Beat Eating Disorders Helpline

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

Support on the Helpline is available by phone, email, webchat through our 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.

To help us support as many people as possible, calls are limited to 30 minutes and webchats to 40 minutes. The advisor will let you know 5 minutes before the end so they can summarise your action plan. Sometimes our lines are busy. If you can’t get through immediately, please do try again or try our one-to-one web chat or send us an email.

If you are in need of urgent help or medical advice for yourself or someone else please contact 999 or the Samaritans on 116 123 if you or someone else is in immediate danger. If you are looking for medical advice contact your GP or 111.

Beat provides Helplines for people of all ages, offering support and information about eating disorders no matter where you are in your journey. These Helplines are free to call from all phones.
