The pressures on young people to conform to a certain body image, through social media and beyond, have never been higher and can lead young people in particular to have a negative body image and low self- esteem. This talk, delivered by Dr Julia Coakes, will centre around eating disorders and body positivity.

Dr Julia Coakes is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with significant experience of working with outpatients and inpatients who are struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood difficulties, PTSD, personality disorder and childhood trauma. Julia is experienced in CBT but is integrative in her treatment approach and will be guided very much by the individuals understanding of what their difficulties are rather than their diagnosis.
