Struggling with your body image goes beyond your physical appearance. Your feelings can affect how you feel about yourself and how you experience relationships, food, and daily life.
Everybody is different, but many who experience body image issues struggle with persistent negative thoughts about their weight, shape, or size. Over time, this can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviours, and eating disorders. Some people may feel the need to exercise excessively to lose weight, while others might weight train to extremes to build muscle and achieve their perfect body. In some cases, this can lead to physical injuries and health problems.
You may find that personal life and relationships are impacted, causing you to withdraw from friends and family or constantly compare yourself to others. However, recognising the signs of body image issues is often the first step to getting the help you deserve.
Online therapy for body image problems can help you identify and understand why you feel the way you do, and give you support to get better. Our trained, empathetic online therapists are here to help and may use a range of talking and structured therapies depending on what works best for you.
Approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be effective in identifying unhelpful thinking habits, such as “all-or-nothing” thinking, harsh self-criticism, or comparisons with others. Over time, you can learn to accept and love your body and develop coping strategies to deal with difficult periods in the future.
For some, body image issues can come from trauma, past experiences, low self-esteem or societal pressures, and approaches like talking or person-centred therapy can help you explore and understand your emotions.
Our online body image therapy is a flexible, discreet and effective way to get the help you need, at a time and place that suits you.

Book NowYes, online therapy is very effective at reframing how you see your body and helping you accept yourself. It’s not about forcing you to love yourself, but it can help you address your inner critic, avoid comparisons with others and practice self-compassion.
Many people find that the negative thoughts and behaviours reduce or disappear completely with online body image therapy.
Everybody is different, and we all can be overly critical of ourselves at times. But if you’re having persistent negative thoughts about your body that are affecting your self-esteem, impacting your mental health and causing stress in your daily life, it’s worth exploring how a therapist can help.
Yes. It takes courage to open up about something so personal that’s having an impact on your life. Our trained therapists are here to listen to you and help you get better in a safe, understanding and non-judgmental space.
Therapy is a proven and effective way to explore and work through how you feel about your body. Many people find that just speaking to someone is enough to feel some benefit, but if you find it’s not working for you, that’s absolutely fine. There are no membership fees or minimum session limits, and you can cancel whenever you want.
