  • Transforming Body Image and Mental Health with Compassion | Tom Midgley

    In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I sit down with Tom Midgley—CBT and Compassion Focused Psychotherapist, Specialist Eating Disorders Dietitian, and Founding Director of The Body Image Treatment Clinic in London.

    Together, we explore the deeply personal and psychological aspects of body image, and how compassion can play a powerful role in transforming mental health. Tom shares his journey into this unique field, offering insights into how experiences of shame, self-criticism, illness, injury, and societal expectations can shape our relationship with our bodies—and how healing is possible.

    Through evidence-based and compassion-informed approaches, Tom and his team help clients move from inner struggle to empowerment. This conversation covers everything from the founding of his clinic to practical strategies for building self-worth and confidence in both body and mind.

    Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or someone on your own journey toward self-acceptance, this episode offers hope, wisdom, and humanity.
