Who/where to get help from

[PurpleBerryDancer]

My GP and local NHS talking therapies department have agreed that I do have an eating disorder - binge eating (without purging). But, I don't qualify for help from them for it despite the fact it's making me depressed.

Who would I approach for help if I sought help privately? A psychologist, psychiatrist, dietician, another professional?

In case it's relevant here's a bit about me - I'm 32, 5ft 2, 13 stone and have been binging for 10 years. I don't recognise myself, I'm fed up of feeling crap. Emotionally and physically. Before I even get into the emotional side I'm fed up of how bad the junk food makes you feel. I don't want thoughts about food to consume me everyday. I want to be healthy, emotionally and physically. Fit for my daughter and fit for the sports I love.

There is a link on here if you scroll down to ‘search for therapists’, it also has a bit about the nice guidelines, I can’t believe they are saying you can’t have help. So sorry. I hope you can get the help you need

Thank you. I'll check that link out.

I did contact some one before but they were a nutritionist and a counselor and was wanting me to have the "perfect" diet. I just wanted to stop binging. We weren't a good fit but I really want to find someone who is
