All our experts are passionate about supporting the whole person to develop skin confidence and self-esteem. This approach is known as psychodermatology: the study of how our physical bodies, our mental health, and wider wellbeing are all intrinsically linked.<\/p><p>Having a dermatological condition may make your skin look and feel different, it may be painful and time-consuming to manage, it may impact on your relationships and on your ability to focus on your work. It may prevent you from getting active, doing fitness, and generally doing the things you enjoy.<\/p><p>Psychodermatology also reminds us that the link between our skin and our mental health goes both ways. Stress can be an important trigger in some common inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a104512 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a104512\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c611243 elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"c611243\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>.elementor-accordion{text-align:start}.elementor-accordion .elementor-accordion-item{border:1px solid #d5d8dc}.elementor-accordion .elementor-accordion-item+.elementor-accordion-item{border-top:none}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title{margin:0;padding:15px 20px;font-weight:700;line-height:1;cursor:pointer;outline:none}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon{display:inline-block;width:1.5em}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon svg{width:1em;height:1em}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon.elementor-accordion-icon-right{float:right;text-align:right}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon.elementor-accordion-icon-left{float:left;text-align:left}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon .elementor-accordion-icon-closed{display:block}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon .elementor-accordion-icon-opened,.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active .elementor-accordion-icon-closed{display:none}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active .elementor-accordion-icon-opened{display:block}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-content{display:none;padding:15px 20px;border-top:1px solid #d5d8dc}@media (max-width:767px){.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title{padding:12px 15px}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon{width:1.2em}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-content{padding:7px 15px}}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-accordion,.e-con>.elementor-widget-accordion{width:var(--container-widget-width);--flex-grow:var(--container-widget-flex-grow)}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-2071\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2071\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Why would I have a psychodermatology appointment?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2071\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2071\"><p>Your Self London consultant dermatologist may recommend that you see Dr Chatburn for an appointment as part of your medical or cosmetic dermatology assessment or to support your ongoing treatment.

This formulation will then guide the shape of the treatment, which will also be informed by identifying some specific goals that you want to work towards.<\/p><p>CBT is sometimes called a \u201ctalking therapy\u201d but more accurately it should be described as a \u201cdoing therapy\u201d.

It is based on the central idea that our thoughts, our feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected, and that changing one of these can alter all the others.<\\\/p><p>When we are distressed, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can seem like they help in the moment, but in the longer term they can actually keep the problem going. CBT works by helping us to notice when we fall into these traps and to find ways of responding that support us to feel better.<\\\/p><p>Following a comprehensive assessment, your therapist will work with you to develop a shared understanding of how your problem developed and what may be keeping it going (this is also called a psychological \\u201cformulation\\u201d). This formulation will then guide the shape of the treatment, which will also be informed by identifying some specific goals that you want to work towards.<\\\/p><p>CBT is sometimes called a \\u201ctalking therapy\\u201d but more accurately it should be described as a \\u201cdoing therapy\\u201d. It is an active, time-limited, structured approach (Beck, 1979) where you work collaboratively with your therapist to make changes that may ultimately lead to living a richer, more meaningful life.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the evidence base for CBT for people with skin conditions?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>CBT is an evidence-based psychological approach, which means that there are scientific studies that have demonstrated its effectiveness for many different people and problems.
