The BDD Programme

Join our unique group programme: a journey of inspiration, creativity, recovery and hope.

The programme is written and delivered by psychotherapists who between them have more than 40 years lived experience of BDD and a combined clinical experience of working with clients who have BDD of more than ten years. We take the recovery of our group very seriously and we aim to embody the values of authenticity, integrity and compassion in our approach.

We believe that this programme offers a unique opportunity to people and families who suffer with BDD to take steps toward wellness and returning to a full life.

Specifically for people who have body image concerns or BDD The BDD Programme includes:

  • A comprehensive assessment process
  • Twenty five weeks of more than 60 'lessons' and weekly live sessions which include psychoeducation, autobiographical insights (we'll share our stories with you), journalling prompts and opportunities to feedback, live online groupwork with mindfulness, meditation and Q&A sessions
  • Four one-to-one sessions with one of our therapists during the programme
  • Live sessions supporting family members and loved ones
  • A private online members group

Our therapists have had a lot of personal therapy and experienced many models of treatment. We've got to the point where BDD and appearance concerns are so much less of a problem.

It wouldn't be true to say that BDD will go away entirely, but we are confident that it is possible to live a much freer life. And we want this for you.

Have you tried self-help, books, perhaps tried some CBT therapy? Getting unstuck on your own is likely almost impossible. We don't want you to lose another year of your life to the dominating influence of BDD.
We believe that you will need support and a strong personal commitment to the process. The journey may be challenging but the reward is potentially life changing.

Workshops and Retreats: We host occasional one-off experiental days, live or online workshops and residential retreats for people who have BDD. We also have links to providers who offer specialist treatment retreats for people who have BDD. Contact us for more information about this.

If you would like to know more and when and where these are happening, please use the 'Contact Us' button below and send us an email marked 'email list'.

We also email information relevant to recovery from BDD to people on this list.
