We provide support in a confidential and non-judgmental environment.

Talking Eating Disorders (TEDS) is a Merseyside community based eating disorder service, founded by Leigh Best in 2000, and is open to anyone who is affected by an eating disorder.

Monthly Support Groups – Facilitated by Leigh Best

Our monthly support groups offer opportunities to talk, share experiences and support each other. We also offer a closed group for anyone trying to overcome an eating disorder.

Our groups provide support from other people with similar experiences in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. Our support group provides the opportunity to meet people in similar situations, and gain information and encouragement.

We offer support to:

You are not in treatment yet and need support towards taking that first step towards recovery
Are in treatment and need additional support in a non-judgemental safe environment
Are in recovery and would like some additional support

NB Please note no groups are running in August

In our groups you can:

Discuss and share your experiences
Express your feelings
Learn or share coping strategies towards recovery

You do not have to share if you don’t want to; we will offer you
a cuppa, encouragement, ongoing support, information, and most importantly hope for recovery.
