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.

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.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Difficult relationships with the body rarely start with the body itself, they’re often rooted in early messages about worth, control, or safety. I work with clients to understand where those beliefs originated and to loosen their grip, using Transactional Analysis to explore the underlying script and CBT to shift the day-to-day patterns of thought and behaviour that keep it in place.

Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Negative body image usually results from criticism, often by a parent, during childhood. You may know on a rational level that you are perfectly attractive, but do not feel this on an emotional level. If this is the case for you, we will find out where the bad feelings come from in your past, and help you to heal them.
