What is Brief BEeT?

Binge eating can get in the way of all aspects of life. Thinking about food and our bodies can take up 
a lot of time and make us feel worried about things that used to make us happy. 


Brief BEeT (Binge Eating eTherapy) is a free and confidential online program for young people aged 
16 – 25 who are living with binge eating. Researchers and people with their own lived experience of 
eating difficulties have contributed to this program, which is offered in partnership with InsideOut 
Institute for Eating Disorders.


Brief BEeT can help you regain your life and get back into the things you enjoy. You will learn new
tools, skills and support along the way.


Brief BEeT (Self help online) can be done by yourself, or as Guided Brief BEeT (In Person) with the 
support of a trained clinician at headspace Grafton. Learn more about Brief BEeT.

 

What will I be doing in Guided Brief BEeT (In person)?

Guided Brief BEeT involves completing Brief BEeT modules online and attending weekly sessions 
with a mental health clinician at headspace Grafton. This program runs for approximately four 
weeks and involves:

• Completing weekly online eTherapy 1-hour modules.
• Self-monitoring and goal setting through a Digital Toolbox.
• Weekly in-person 30-minute sessions with one of our mental health clinicians. 


During your sessions, your headspace clinician is there to answer questions, discuss challenges, and 
work with you to set goals for the next week. They will also review your questionnaires and Digital 
Toolbox entries to monitor how you are going implementing the new skills you have learnt.


Due to the risk of physical health complications, it’s important to see a GP regularly. Let your 
headspace clinician know if you don’t have a regular GP, or if you feel uncomfortable talking to your 
current GP about what’s going on.


How do I get started with Guided Brief BEeT (In Person)? 

To register for Guided Brief BEeT, get in touch and we will guide you through the process.
