Body Image and Body Dysmorphia
Support at Evolving Minds Counselling

The Butterfly Foundation estimates over one million Australians are affected by eating disorders or disordered eating. Body image concerns often overlap with conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, making symptoms more severe and recovery more complex. Understanding this connection is crucial for effective, integrated care.

​

At Evolving Minds Counselling, we recognise how deeply body image and self-esteem can affect emotional well-being. We provide compassionate, evidence-based support for children, adolescents and adults.

​

What is Body Dysmorphia?

​

Body dysmorphia goes beyond dissatisfaction with appearance. It involves a preoccupation with perceived flaws that are often unnoticeable to others. This can lead to constant comparisons, intense self-criticism, and a cycle of anxiety, shame, or avoidance that interferes with daily life.
