Eating Disorder Service Plymouth Eating Disorder Service (EDS) is a charity serving Plymouth and the surrounding area.

EDS was founded in 1995 and is largely funded by the Integrated Care System for Devon alongside some charitable donations. EDS was created to fill a gap in NHS provision for individuals with eating disorders in Plymouth and the surrounding area.

Today is World Mental Health Day, a day to highlight the importance of looking after your mental health and creating safe spaces for people to explore how they're feeling.

Here are 6 ways you can help someone important to you feel heard, create a safe environment and take the next steps to seeking support.

Support with eating difficulties doesn't have to look one way. Sometimes what helps most is steady, regular support you can fit around everyday life.

Our Community Support service is for adults (18+) in Plymouth and West Devon who are feeling the impact of eating difficulties and want steady, ongoing help to feel more in control day to day.

What's involved:
🌿 Weekly one-to-one therapy
🌿 Guided self-help modules
🌿 Body image support
🌿 Access to a dietitian

It could be a good fit if you've noticed habits around food starting to take over and want support before things get harder. It's also there if you're in recovery and working towards more stability, or if you already have some support and feel you need a bit more.

You don't need to be at crisis point to reach out. This is about building skills, finding your feet and having people in your corner who understand.

Getting started is simple. You can refer yourself, or a professional can refer you. We'll begin with a short phone call to get to know you, followed by an assessment online or in person, so we can shape a plan that works for you.

Bulimia doesn't discriminate by body size.

One of the most harmful misconceptions about bulimia is that it only affects people in smaller bodies. The truth is, bulimia can affect anyone, regardless of their size or shape.

Bulimia is characterised by cycles of eating large quantities of food followed by compensatory behaviours like vomiting, excessive exercise, or misusing laxatives - not by how someone looks.

Assumptions based on appearance can prevent people from getting the help they need and perpetuate harmful stereotypes about what eating disorders "look like."

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available with EDS Plymouth.

Starting uni can feel lonely, even when you're surrounded by people. If you're struggling with food or your relationship with eating right now, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

If you're struggling and don't know where to start, reach out to us https://www.eatingdisorderserviceplymouth.co.uk/contact/self-referral/

If you’re on a waiting list for NHS weight management support, the wait can feel long and uncertain.

Support doesn’t have to stop while you’re waiting.

At Eating Disorder Service Plymouth, we support people during this in-between time, offering a safe, non-judgemental space through one-to-one support, group sessions and guided eating.

We work alongside NHS services, not instead of them, helping people feel supported and steadier while they wait.

If you’re finding things difficult and feel ready to reach out, we’re here.
