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.

Are you living out someone else's story of your body?
Is your relationship with your body one of judgement, shame, disconnection or control?
Are you tired of being limited by and unhappy with how you look?
We carry around our families old stories or culture's stories of our bodies so we need learn to rewrite those stories and live out different endings. You deserve a loving strong relationship with your body that allows you for more self-acceptance and peace in your life. Through a variety of tools that may include somatic work, art therapy, movement or other modalities begin the path of returning to and making peace with your body

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.

Sunderland is a city in the northeast of England with a proud history in shipbuilding and coal mining, and its post-industrial economic transformation has left significant deprivation in many communities, with mental health need among the highest in the country across a range of indicators. NHS mental health services are provided through Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, one of England's largest mental health trusts, though demand consistently exceeds capacity. The University of Sunderland contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology and counselling programmes, and a private therapy sector exists alongside NHS provision. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship difficulties, and the psychological effects of long-term unemployment and community decline that have affected many Wearside neighbourhoods.
