MEET YOUR TRAINER
Hey, I’m Professor Phillippa Diedrichs, PhD
Welcome, friend. I’m so glad you’re here!
I'm passionate about creating a world where no one is held back by appearance pressures, gender stereotypes, or outdated beauty ideals.
I’ve worked with young people, helping professionals, researchers, policy-makers and brands across academic, community and online settings for 20 years to create and deliver evidence-based programmes that boost body confidence, prevent eating disorders and improve mental health. These tools and campaigns have been tested in dozens of scientific studies and have now reached over 120 million people in 148 countries.
I was trained as a Master Trainer in The Body Project by its original creators, Dr Eric Stice (Stanford University) and Dr Carolyn Becker (Trinity University). I have led dozens of trainings, with clients from a variety of settings, from NHS England to Oxford University to mental health charity Mind and beyond.
I bring science, lived experience, and care to every session — and I’m here to support you to feel confident and prepared to deliver this life-changing programme in your own community.
I can’t wait to work with you!

The live training sessions over Zoom will have a maximum of 12 trainees.
This allows us to give individual, tailored feedback and practical support as we work through the value packed training schedule.

Our train-the-trainer and on-site options are designed for organisations (like NHS Trusts and local authorities) that want to train full teams and/or scale delivery.
This online training is for individuals or organisations who want to deliver The Body Project but don’t need a full team training or train-the-trainer model. It’s a more accessible and flexible way to get started.
