Finding a treatment provider
You can find a credentialed mental health professional, dietitian or GP under Find Eating Disorder Help. Clinicians listed have the qualifications, experience and training provided to provide safe and effective eating disorder care, and could work in early identification, initial response, treatment or recovery.
Treatment for someone experiencing an eating disorder is usually delivered by a multidisciplinary team. This usually includes a medical practitioner (such as your GP), a mental health professional, and a dietitian. Mental health professionals can include counsellors, mental health nurses, nurse practitioners occupational therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists and social workers. Your GP may also be able to provide mental health treatment if they have completed training in this area.
Further information about the roles of different professions providing eating disorder treatment can be found here, and details of specific evidence-based treatments can be found here.
When searching for a treatment provider, understanding the setting in which they work can be helpful so you know the type of service that you will be attending, and who else from their team may be supporting you in your recovery journey.
