Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Difficulties with body image can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore what your body image is like, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
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.

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Body image struggles can affect confidence, relationships, self-worth, intimacy, eating habits, and the way you move through everyday life. You may find yourself constantly comparing, criticising, hiding, obsessing, or feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. My approach is less about appearance itself and more about understanding your relationship with yourself, your body, and the meanings you have attached to it over time. Together, we can explore the patterns, beliefs, emotions, and experiences underneath these struggles, helping you build greater self-acceptance, confidence, and compassion towards yourself.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
We are all embodied beings. We often separate body and mind as two distinct entities, but the two are intrinsically linked and part of a whole. One aspect of this 'whole' is our subjective sense of who we are - our identity. How we feel about ourselves often, if not always, is manifested in what we do with and what we allow to happen with our bodies - from the food we take in, to the physical (including sexual) relationships we have with others, and the way we modify our appearance (permanently or in more subtle and temporary ways).
In psychotherapy I offer a confidential and judgement-free space where we can think together about the way you relate to your body, what this means to you and how it affects your experiences in life.

Derby is a major hub for aerospace and advanced engineering — home to Rolls-Royce's civil aerospace headquarters and a substantial precision manufacturing sector — creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular occupational pressures of high-stakes technical industries, including shift work stress, contractor uncertainty, and the psychological weight of safety-critical work. The city's diverse population includes large South Asian and Eastern European communities that drive growing demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists. Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Allestree, Mickleover, and the city centre. The University of Derby's psychology and counselling programmes supply training pipelines into the local clinical community.
