This May Sound Familiar
You do not need every one of these to benefit from therapy. One is enough.
- Comparing your appearance with other people
- Avoiding photographs, clothes, or social situations
- Feeling your worth depends on how your body looks
How Emma works
What therapy looks like here
Questioning the Story
Narrative Therapy can help you examine where ideas about appearance and worth came from. You can explore how those messages fit, or do not fit, the life you want.
Responding to Difficult Feelings
DBT skills can support attention to emotions and distress around comparison or self-criticism. Emma works with your goals and pace rather than prescribing how you should feel about your body.
If eating concerns or medical needs are part of your experience, discuss them with a qualified health professional. You can ask the intake team whether Emma is the right fit for your needs.
Concerns about appearance may sit alongside self-criticism or low mood. You can also explore Low Self-Worth / Self-Esteem, and Anxiety & Depression.

Questions about Body Image
- Is this about eating or weight?
- Not necessarily. Sessions can be about comparison, appearance pressure, or the way you speak to yourself. If eating concerns or medical needs are part of your experience, those should be discussed with a qualified health professional, and Emma can talk with you about whether she is the right fit.
- Will I be told to think positively about my body?
- No. Emma does not ask you to replace harsh thoughts with slogans. Sessions look at where the standards you measure yourself against came from and whether they fit the life you want.
