Dominique Omeonga, a Trainee Counselling Psychologist at Middlesex University is conducting a study that aims to explore how Black British women make sense of their experiences of living with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and engaging in psychological therapy.
You can take part if:
- Are a Black British cisgender woman aged 18 or over (including African, Caribbean, or mixed Black heritage).
- Experience ongoing or past persistent preoccupation with perceived appearance concerns consistent with BDD (a formal diagnosis is not required).
- Have completed psychological therapy where BDD or appearance-related distress was the primary focus between 6 months and 3 years ago.
- Are not currently receiving therapy specifically for BDD or experiencing acute psychological distress.
- Are able to participate in an interview conducted in English.
Taking part includes:
- A brief 10-15 minute call and one confidential online interview (60-90 mins)
- A brief questionnaire
- An opportunity to reflect on your experiences and contribute to an under-researched topic with the aim of informing future psychological practice
