Binge eating guided self-help (formerly Momentum)

Looking for support for binge eating disorder?

Binge eating guided self-help (formerly Momentum) is our clinically recommended support programme for adults (aged 18+) with binge eating disorder or regular binge eating episodes.

• The aim of this guided self-help is to help you overcome the urge to binge eat and develop a healthy approach to eating.

How does it work?

• You’ll be offered eight support sessions, over 8 weeks. During these sessions you'll follow the self-help programme from the evidence-based book Overcoming Binge Eating, as recommended by NICE guidelines (we’ll send you this book before you get started).
• You’ll work through a clinically recommended self-help programme based on cognitive behavioural therapy and our trained support programme officers support you through the programme with regular guidance sessions.

How do I know that Binge eating guided self-help is right for me?

• Are you 18 years or above?
• Would you consent to your GP being informed of your participation and information being shared with your ED team/GP if needed?
• Are you medically stable (as indicated by factors such as stable blood results and ECG for the last 3 months)?
• Have you experienced disordered eating - such as binge eating episodes or losing control of your eating?
• Are you in Essex, Scotland, Wales or York?

If you have answered yes to the above questions, please complete the self-referral form and one of our team will be in touch with our sign-up questionnaire within 5 working days. Please be aware that referral and completion of the sign-up survey doesn’t guarantee a place on our programme as there are some other questions taking into consideration.

Please note that Binge eating guided self-help is currently only available in Essex, Scotland, Wales and York.
