Bognor Regis, Bristol, London, West Sussex body image often comes with low confidence and self esteem. I work in schools and colleges and many young people struggle with body image and if no support is offered this will continue into adulthood. I also offer support with issues related to menopause and body image can be a big part of this

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.

Struggles with body image often run deeper than the reflection in the mirror. They can be connected to perfectionism, comparison, people-pleasing, trauma, or feeling that your value depends on how you look. Therapy provides a space to understand those experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. The goal is not to love your body every moment. It is to move toward greater acceptance, confidence, and self-worth.

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.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city center. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community.
