Looking for a body image expert for your event, podcast, article or social media?

I speak at events for businesses, non-profit and community organisations, academic institutions and professional associations, both in-person and online.

I’ve delivered scientific and cultural insights and commentary at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, Comic Con, Oxford and Harvard Universities, and dozens more events. Wherever I go, my presentations and workshops are grounded in academic evidence and I leave the audience with practical, actionable strategies.

I also provide expert commentary for media and podcasts, and have worked with leading brands and platforms on content creation for social media.

As a body image expert and Professor of Psychology, I speak about:

Body image and self confidence
Mental health and eating disorders
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Appearance stereotypes and beauty bias
The impact of social media on body image
Technology and mental health
Scaling up evidence-based interventions
Corporate social responsibility and community impact
Representation and diversity
Industry and academic partnerships

“We thought your contribution was really outstanding and made the session a success. It’s so valuable for us to have someone who can speak with real authority on this topic.. I am sure many in the audience must have thought that we rehearsed the questions, because you answered so comprehensively to everything I asked. That’s a real gift.”

“The take home message from Professor Diedrichs seemed to be that fundamentally, we as members of society need to unpack messages and assumptions surrounding appearance, health and self-worth. Her lecture offered an accessible, insightful and engaging window into the growing body of research surrounding body image, and certainly will have influenced everybody in the audience to continue to vitally challenge societal norms.”
