A Group Therapy Program for Teenage Girls

Beyond the Mirror

Learn to Love Your Body for What it Does – Not How it Looks

Negative body image and low self-esteem are significant challenges for many adolescent girls today. With social media and unrealistic beauty standards everywhere, it’s easy to feel like you don’t measure up. Negative body image is linked to higher levels of anxiety and depression, as well as lower self-esteem (Grogan, 2016). This can impact everyday life, leading to social withdrawal, avoidance of activities like going to the beach, and even obsessive behaviours such as excessive gym time or appearance-checking.

What if you could see yourself differently—not through filters or expectations, but with confidence and self-acceptance? Beyond the Mirror is a group program designed for girls aged 14–17 years. It offers a space to explore body image in a real, honest way and learn how to embrace who you are, right now.

What You'll Gain Through Our Group Program:

  • Understand where body image beliefs come from and how they shape your choices.

  • Move beyond body love versus body hate — discover the freedom of body neutrality.

  • Practice mindfulness to help you stop overanalysing and start truly living in your body.

  • Learn how to challenge negative self-talk and build a healthier mindset.

  • Set boundaries and self-care habits that boost confidence and self-worth.

This group isn’t about “fixing” yourself — it’s about empowering yourself.
