Our approach
Three principles shape every assessment we carry out.
Consultant-led
Every assessment is carried out by a GMC-registered consultant psychiatrist with a subspecialty interest in body dysmorphic disorder.
Evidence-based
We use DSM-5 criteria and validated instruments such as the BDDQ, Y-BOCS-BDD, PHQ-9 and GAD-7, informed by NICE guidance (CG31).
Collaborative
Reports are written for the referring clinician, with a clear recommendation and practical next steps.
