Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
When working with body image, I don't focus only on the present struggle. I become curious about where it began.
Body image issues rarely appear out of nowhere. They often have roots in early life experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the ways we learned to see ourselves through the eyes of others. Together we bring awareness to these patterns and identify the triggers that continue to affect life today.

Registered Psychotherapist, M Phil - Counselling & Psychotherapy; M A Psychology
Having a body image of oneself is not necessarily a mental health problem by itself. However research demonstrates that an extreme sense of disatisfaction with the body can be caused by psychological distress and lead to further distress by poor eating behaviours and ultimately an eating disorder.

Difficulties with body image can affect far more than appearance alone. They can influence confidence, relationships, self-worth, and the way we move through everyday life. Together, we can explore the emotional experiences, beliefs, expectations, and messages that may have shaped your relationship with your body, while developing a more compassionate and sustainable way of relating to yourself beyond appearance.

Headline: Healing Your Relationship with Your Body in a Culture That Isn’t on Your Side
The Reality of Living in Diet Culture
We live in a world that makes it feel nearly impossible to exist without a constant, critical inner monologue about your body or your plate. No one comes out of our weight-obsessed culture unscathed, and for many, the "baggage" of these stories becomes a heavy, daily burden. If you feel like you are constantly at war with your reflection or your appetite, you are not alone—and it isn’t your fault.
A Sanctuary of Body Liberation
My practice is rooted in Body Liberation. I believe that every body—including yours—is inherently worthy of acceptance, compassion, and uncompromising care. I specialize in helping individuals who have never felt "safe" accepting themselves in a world that demands they change.
My Specialized Framework
In a private-pay setting, you deserve a therapist who understands the high-stakes complexity of recovery. My approach is defined by:
Health at Every Size (HAES®): I provide weight-neutral care that honors the rich diversity of human shapes and sizes. We focus on health behaviors and psychological well-being, not the number on the scale.
Nuanced Advocacy: We will engage in the sophisticated, often difficult conversations required to navigate a medical system and a culture preoccupied with size.
A Roadmap to Peace: We move beyond "body positivity" toward body neutrality and liberation—helping you reclaim the mental energy currently spent on body-checking and food-tracking so you can reinvest it in your actual life.
Why Choose This Approach?
You are investing in more than just "talk therapy." You are investing in a specialized partnership that challenges the status quo of your suffering. Together, we will untangle your worth from your weight and build a foundation of self-trust that diet culture can no longer shake.

Middlesbrough is a Teesside city with a proud but challenging post-industrial history in steel and chemical manufacturing, and its mental health landscape is shaped by persistent economic deprivation, high unemployment in some communities, and the compounding health inequalities that make it one of England's most disadvantaged major towns. NHS mental health services are provided through Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, and demand for both community and acute mental health care consistently exceeds available resources. Teesside University contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology and counselling programmes and provides a student counselling service for enrolled students. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and the long-term psychological impact of economic hardship and community disinvestment on residents across all age groups.
