What is BDD?
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a disabling preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in appearance. It affects both men and women equally. It makes people overly self-conscious causing them to check their appearance repeatedly and try to cover up, camouflage or alter the defects they see. They often seek out and undergoing unnecessary cosmetic treatments. Their friends and family are often unable to understand because they do not see what the person with BDD sees. BDD can lead to extreme distress and can make it very difficult for them to cope with life.
Coronavirus
I am still running sessions at my clinic. This will continue until the advice from government changes. Many of my patients have chosen to have their sessions from home. Research has shown that remote therapy via online video calls like Skype or by phone can be just as effective as face to face sessions. If you wish to carry out your sessions from home please lets us know when booking. If you book online please choose the Home Session option.
Look after yourself and each other.
