BEAT - ADULT BINGE EATING DISORDER PHONE COACHING - MOMENTUM

What is this service?

Service for adults with binge-eating symptoms in a 1-1 guided telephone and self-help reflection format. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends guided self-help as the first treatment for binge eating disorder. If you take part in Momentum, you’ll work through a clinically recommended self-help programme based on cognitive behavioural therapy, while our trained facilitators support you through the programme with regular telephone guidance session.

Weight loss isn’t an aim of guided self-help; instead the programme is designed to help you overcome the urge to binge eat and develop a healthy approach to eating.
