When You Don’t Feel at Home in Your Body
You might spend hours thinking about food, weight, or how your body looks — yet still feel disconnected or never “enough.” Maybe you compare yourself to others, replay comments you’ve heard about your appearance, or struggle to enjoy things you love because you’re too aware of how you look doing them.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many people — especially women — carry an invisible burden of shame, guilt, and self-criticism around their bodies. What starts as “wanting to be healthier” can turn into a constant inner battle. In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you quiet those harsh inner voices and reconnect with your body in a kinder, more trusting way. You’ll learn tools to:
Challenge the perfectionistic thoughts that feed self-criticism
Understand what drives body-focused fears and anxiety
Build new habits of self-acceptance and calm
Experience genuine comfort and confidence in your skin
Our sessions blend science, mindfulness, and compassion. You’ll have weekly check-ins to track progress and brief daily exercises to practice new patterns — because real change happens between sessions.
I BELIEVE:
Your body is not a problem to fix — it’s your home, your history, and your ally.
Confidence grows when we practice kindness toward ourselves, not punishment.
Comparison steals joy, but connection restores it.
You deserve to live fully — wear the clothes you love, eat without guilt, and show up in your life as you are.
Healing becomes easier when we add a little humor and humanity along the way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who struggle with body image and the ways it can shape self-worth, relationships, and how people move through the world. Difficulties with body image are often bound up with long-standing beliefs, protective strategies, and patterns of self-criticism that develop over time.
My approach draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what purpose they may serve. Rather than focusing on appearance or symptom reduction, the work centres on understanding the relationship you have with your body and the meanings attached to it. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Body image concerns rarely develop in isolation. They are often shaped by family messages, culture, trauma, racism, sexism, ableism, neurodivergence, chronic illness, disability, gender expectations, religious experiences, social media, and the countless ways we are taught which bodies are considered worthy, acceptable, attractive, productive, healthy, or "normal." For many people, body image is deeply connected to belonging, safety, identity, visibility, self-worth, and the ways our bodies have been perceived, treated, regulated, or judged throughout our lives.
This work is grounded in an understanding that our relationships with our bodies are shaped not only by personal experiences, but also by larger cultural, historical, and systemic forces. Exploration may include the impacts of racism, colonialism, anti-fat bias, ableism, sexism, cisheteronormativity, beauty standards, diet culture, healthism, medical trauma, and other systems that communicate which bodies are valued and which are marginalized. Particular attention is given to the ways intersecting identities such as race, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, spirituality, and socioeconomic experiences influence embodiment and body image.
My approach moves beyond surface-level body image concerns and into a deeper exploration of embodiment, nervous system experiences, identity, self-worth, intimacy, sexuality, sensory experiences, and belonging. Attention is given to the ways internalized messages, shame, comparison, perfectionism, masking, trauma, and cultural expectations may shape your relationship with your body. Exploration may also include the impacts of chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, hormonal changes, body changes across the lifespan, and experiences of living in a body that may not align with societal expectations or dominant cultural norms.
My work is informed by Health at Every Size (HAES), body liberation, neurodiversity-affirming, disability-affirming, and liberation-oriented frameworks. Rather than focusing on weight, appearance, or changing your body to fit external standards, therapy supports developing a more compassionate, curious, and trusting relationship with yourself. Particular attention is given to reconnecting with bodily wisdom, interoception, sensory experiences, pleasure, rest, nourishment, movement, and the body's capacity to communicate needs, limits, emotions, and desires.
My intention is to support you in gently untangling inherited and internalized narratives while cultivating greater self-trust, self-compassion, embodied authenticity, safety, respect, choice, and freedom within your relationship with yourself and your body. Often, this work involves reclaiming embodiment on your own terms and creating space for your body to be experienced as a home rather than a problem to solve or vessel to abandon.
