Oliver Fallon (body image issues)

I offer specialist therapy for Body Image Issues (including BDD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder) so you can live a healthier, happier life. 

Together we can work to change your relationship with your body by changing the way you think about it, by changing the kind of attention you give to it, and by changing how you see yourself as a person. If this is what you want, then I will work with you with the greatest care to show you how and to help it happen.

The same applies to compulsive and destructive behaviours such as chemsex.

I’m here to help you live your best life according to your values. In therapy we collaboratively cultivate a new vision for a physically, emotionally, culturally, creatively and spiritually rich life. I see creativity as essential to recovery: it helps us unblock, grow and explore. I invite you to bring your whole self to therapy and fearlessly explore what it is to be human in this strange world of ours.

We all need a space in our lives where we can be supported and think and reflect. Perhaps you’d like to explore how your experiences have shaped how you are now and how you relate to those around you. Or you might want help with major life transitions, self esteem, harsh self-talk, fear, shame and guilt. Perhaps you have a sense of something undefineable being off, and you would like to dig a little deeper, or maybe a lot deeper. You may have a poor relationship with your body, particularly with how you look. You can change that by changing the way you think about your body, by changing the kind of attention you give it and by changing the way you see yourself as a person. If that is what you want, I promise to work with you with the greatest care to make that happen. Whatever you bring, I’m committed to making sure you feel respected, seen and heard. No matter what comes up, I will be beside you in full acceptance, bearing witness and providing support.

I also believe there is a place within the  therapeutic process for the arts, such as the use of imagery and metaphor, or bringing your favourite literature, film or art as points from which to start exploring how you see the world. I’m here to help you celebrate life in all its glory and its tragedy. When we’re in session together I hope I bring a rich warmth and curiosity to your story. I strive to hold your experience as precious and to treat it with sensitivity and nuance, and I hope you will feel safe to be your whole self in all its complexity. Let’s see what we can do to walk lighter through the world.

If you’d like to do this, please reach out to arrange a (free) 20-30 minute call so we can each find out a bit more about each other and how we might best work together. It’s an honour and a privelige for me to walk with you on your journey to a healthier, happier life.
