Eating Matters is a registered charity and we rely on client donations to be able to continue to provide our service.
We ask for a voluntary donation of £10 for an Initial Assessment and a minimum of £20 per counselling session, depending on individual circumstances.
We never turn anyone away for financial reasons and if you’re unable to make the minimum donation for counselling this can be discussed with us.
Please be mindful of our criteria when making a referral to our service. We are a counselling service for people with mild to moderate eating disorders.
More information about eating disorders and criteria for our service can be found on our counselling page.
We are looking to engage 2 enthusiastic and passionate facilitators with lived experience as a parent / carer of a young person with an eating disorder or disordered eating to run a parent / carer peer support group. For more information refer to the job advert & links below:
