Eating Distress North East (EDNE)
Are you a qualified counsellor or psychotherapist looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people affected by eating distress? Would you like to work within a supportive, specialist charity where your skills and experience can have a real impact?
Eating Distress North East (EDNE) is recruiting counsellors / psychotherapists to join our service, supporting individuals living in Northumberland and North Tyneside who are experiencing mild to moderate eating distress.
EDNE is the only eating distress charity in the region, with a 36-year track record of providing specialist support to people affected by eating distress, as well as their families and loved ones.
This is an exciting opportunity to become part of an established and dedicated service, delivering specialist eating distress counselling and psychotherapy to individuals who need support.
You will provide a combination of online and face-to-face specialist eating distress counselling and psychotherapy, working on a hybrid basis from our Newcastle office and outreach bases within the community.
Our approach is flexible, responsive and person-centred, taking a holistic view of each individual’s experiences. You will provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to help people better understand their eating distress, explore unhelpful behaviours, consider alternative coping mechanisms and address feelings of isolation.
Deadline for applications: 5pm on Monday 30th November 2026
Interviews: Tuesday 8th December at EDNE offices, Newcastle
