I'm very insecure about my body and would feel more comfortable with a female therapist. Do I need to explain this when making the appointment?

Answer 1

You don't have to explain anything when you are making an appointment. When you call tell them you prefer a female therapist, ask for the therapists full name, then you can see what their specialities are. Our goal as therapists is make sure you feel safe and comfortable.

Answer 2

Most places will ask you if you have a preference. If they do not ask just let them know at the time of your booking to ensure you get the gender perference you want.
