Our Story
EDS Plymouth has been supporting adults with eating disorders since 1995.
We started because too many people were struggling without suitable help or didn’t know where to turn. By offering specialist care closer to home, we’ve helped people access support earlier, more comfortably, and without the barriers that often come with traditional services.
Over the years, we’ve grown. We now have a Day Service, a dedicated team of therapists, dietitians, and practitioners, and we’ve expanded our support for families and carers.
But our purpose has stayed the same: to help people recover, prevent crisis, and rebuild their lives.
Who We Help
We support adults aged 18 and over in Plymouth and parts of West Devon who are experiencing eating difficulties or living with a diagnosed eating disorder.
You can reach us through:
- A self referral (contact us directly)
- Professional referral (via your GP or a healthcare professional)
You don’t need to fit a particular picture or have a formal diagnosis to reach out – if you’re struggling with eating or body image, we’re here to listen.
Meet the Team
Our team includes therapists, dietitians, and practitioners who share a commitment to helping adults manage eating difficulties within a safe, understanding environment.
