The treatment of  Body Image disorders, including Body Dysmorphia (BDD) and compulsive disorders such as dermatillomania (otherwise known as excoriation disorder or skin picking disorder) is a topic very close to my heart.
Around 2% of the population suffers with BDD and on average it takes seven years to get a diagnosis by which time it may be entrenched and much harder to treat.
If you or someone you love is suffering with this you'll know just how overwhelming it can be. I would be pleased to talk with you and offer my help and support. 
Because of the high numbers of people contacting me about therapy for BDD and body image issues I have a programme which is live and online that may be an alternative option to you. This therapeutic programme is designed to help you to understand your body image concerns and to kickstart your recovery. This isn't another unsupported course where you have to make sense of it all yourself, rather this is a hands-om intensive and very personal journey. We only run this twice a year and have limited places available. If you would like more information please contact me.
