Tom is absolutely brilliant and I couldn't recommend him more! I can say I feel like a totally different person from when I first saw Tom a few years back and he has been a fantastic support. Thank you Tom 🙂
I reached out to Tom after reading about his profile, but it wasn’t until I actually started treatment with him that I realised he’s the BEST therapist in his field in all of London. His knowledge has helped me in an enormous and deeply meaningful way to move forward in life. Every single one of his sessions leaves you wanting to see the world differently and to challenge the way we perceive our body image. Thanks to Tom, I’m now in a much better mental place than I was before I met him. 🙌🏻
A friend of mine was struggling and I wanted to help but wasn’t sure where to go for expert advice I could trust. I’m very grateful to have been introduced to Tom for he shared some invaluable advice in a very understanding and action orientated way. Would highly recommend!
The Body Image Clinic was very helpful, awnsering all my questions in great detail. I wouldn't hesite to get in touch with The Body Image Clinic again with any questions or needs, and I would reccomed to friends and family.
Tom has been instrumental in our daughter's recovery from an eating disorder, and is helping her navigate life since her ADHD diagnosis. Highly recommend.
Tom is undoubtedly an expert in his field. I am fortunate enough to know Tom professionally and personally. Other reviews clearly describe how well he acts as a clinical expert, but also personally he is one of the nicest guys you could meet. If you are nervous about reaching out for treatment, please don't - you couldn't put yourself in better hands!
It's not an overstatement to say working with Tom has fundamentally changed my life's path. He brings so much knowledge, compassion, creativity and at times humour to the table. He's caring and sometimes tough. Most importantly he stood by me and my family during one of my toughest times. Don't hesitate to work with him.

My experience of working with the team at The Body Image Treatment Clinic has been incredible. They are extremely knowledge, passionate and experienced in supporting clients with body image, eating disorders and other comorbidities. I couldn't recommend the team and their support highly enough.
I worked with Tom during a 15 month period (age 27-28) during which he was endlessly patient and helpful in addressing issues I have developed and struggled with over 20+ years. I would highly recommend to anyone who has struggled to find success dealing with an eating disorder, body image issues or otherwise. Through working with Tom I have made more positive changes than I have ever been able to previously with any other clinician.

I am extremely happy with my experience with this clinic- Tom has taught me techniques and given me knowledge that will stay with me in the long term and I am very grateful for that! I would definitely recommend Tom to a friend struggling with body issues etc
Life changing and eye opening work. Working with Thomas has helped in my recovery immensely, he helped me understand myself and guided me in processing my past traumas. As a result I saw many positive shifts in my relationships and behavioural patterns. I am extremely grateful.
I have suffered with BDD for over 30 years. I had exhausted every form of therapy with no results and this was literally a last resort. Well, the best was most definitely last as the therapist I was put in touch with has worked miracles with me. I'm in a place mentally that I'd never thought I'd be in. This clinic is nothing short of fantastic and I cannot thank them enough. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone.
Thomas is a wonderful Clinician. He has shared his expertise professionally but with a down to earth and personable nature. First class.

I contacted Thomas Midgley to ask if he had time to have a conversation with me about my PhD research which is focused around mid-life women and body image. Thomas was extremely gracious with his time and knowledge, and I was very grateful for this. Thank you and I look forward to chatting again in the future.
Tom is smart, kind, empathetic, and genuinely excellent at what he does. He brings a great mix of insight, humour, and compassion to every session. Even when you're working through tough topics, he knows how to make you feel at ease -and even laugh! He’s incredibly skilled at helping you understand yourself on a deeper level and offers practical, effective tools to navigate whatever challenges you're facing. I couldn’t recommend Tom more highly. I recently returned to see Tom after two years, and it was like no time had passed. He remembered everything from our previous sessions, which made it easy to pick up right where we left off. I'm incredibly grateful for his support and would recommend him without hesitation.

"The mental health inequalities created by our individual experiences mean some of us will at some point lose or never come to know the sense of worth and value that form the backbone of self-esteem and confidence. I set up The Body Image Treatment Clinic to help people overcome the impact of their adverse experiences as well as their own inner demons
to build confidence and feel empowered from the inside, out".
Tom Midgley BSc, RD, PGDip, CBT.
Company Director at The Body Image Treatment Clinic, Harley Street, London.
At The Body Image Treatment Clinic, we offer a variety of different psychological and dietetic services specialising in the treatment of conditions that effect both body and mind.
We understand that eating disorders are distressing and anorexia can look and feel very different from one patient to the next. Anorexia is not simply about food. At The Body Image Treatment Clinic, we personalise your eating disorder treatment to meet your needs, concerns and hopes for recovery.
Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder which causes people to eat a large amount of food uncontrollably (also known as binge eating), in a short period of time usually followed by feels of shame and guilt. For some periods of food restriction follow. However, binge eating disorder is not simply about food and weight.
Bulimia is not simply about food and weight. It may have occurred to navigate challenging life events or cope with difficult emotions and now behaviours have become ritualistic and feel unavoidable. At The Body Image Treatment Clinic, we personalise your bulimia treatment to meet your needs, concerns and hopes for recovery.
