We know that body image issues are more than just superficial concerns. Your body image affects everything from your self-esteem to your ability to have healthy romantic relationships. No one deserves to suffer from body image issues alone, and we’ll help you put the pieces of your self-esteem back together.
Body image is a combination of the thoughts and feelings that you have about your body. Body image may range between positive and negative experiences, and one person may feel at different times positive or negative or a combination of both. As body image is influenced by internal (e.g. personality) and external (e.g. social environment) factors we work with the client to develop a balanced view of body image and it's impact.

It is so hard to feel okay about our bodies in this day and age. Some of our psychologists have studied techniques that are now known to be effetcive in helping people to change their relationship with their body and to be self-accepting. Imagine a life where you could walk through the shops and not feel like everyone must be judging you; or a life when you could wear what you want to not hate yourself. There are techniques that work for others and we can adapt them to your needs and your unique history that got you thinking and feeling about your body the way you do.
