Exclusive: inadequately qualified coaches charging thousands claiming to offer support to people with eating disorders
Vulnerable mental health patients are being put at risk by unregulated “eating disorder coaches” who do not have the necessary qualifications, experts have said.
Coaches offer video calls, nutrition and exercise guidance, text support and help with shopping and meal planning. The cost for help can range from hundreds to thousands of pounds, with many clients expected to sign up for a minimum two-month period. Agnes Ayton, chair of the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ eating disorders faculty, said she was “amazed” to see people “advertising themselves as experts after going on one course”.
