Consultancy
We may offer consultancy in partnership with the relevant individual funding body. We can meet with the psychiatric team and help put together a Person-Centered Care Plan tailored to their requirements and that of the patient in question.
Raising Awareness about BDD
Prevention strategies are an essential part of our work, we speak to organisations, businesses and professionals including GPs, dentists, aestheticians, cosmetic surgeons, lawyers, beauticians and hairdressers, to raise awareness of body image and appearance concerns and Body Dysmorphia and its impact for individuals in the work and education environment. Leaders who are aware of the challenges faced by their staff members are able to offer an informed and compassionate approach.
We also speak to, and run bespoke workshops for groups of individuals: mens groups, women's groups and parents groups on topics such as, 'Overcoming fear of being seen on camera', 'Managing intrusive thoughts about the way I look', 'Supporting my child to feel good about their appearance','Coping with anxiety about the holidays', 'Why do I hate the way I look'. 'Help, I think my child may have body dysmorphia, what can I do?''Calming my inner critic'. We're happy to travel to your location to deliver live sessions.
