It’s probably a frustrating response. OP asked for help with one thing, and then commenters were like work on physical and mental health. And OP is like yeah-cool but that’s not the problem I asked for help with. That being said, I 100% agree with _eukj in this context. Mental health very underrated and important.

Glad you get it. Really could not give any less shits about the mental advice. It is a waste of time for everyone involved to be concerned about that here. I only need help with the image.

I can see and understand that. But I and others have also mentioned the more direct approach of getting specialists in various areas (trainer, stylist, interior designer, etc.), which also adjusts the incentives towards the client rather than an image consultant continually, but that was also rejected. They just want an image consultant, whatever such consultants exactly are, but I think others and myself are saying that we can't see that really working, especially with zero context. I guess they are wanting an image consultant to reinvent themselves or construct someone new for them to be or something, but I'm just weary and worried of such a path in the long run for the person. If you go for advice, it's not necessarily bad to hear what you didn't ask for. Also, therapists can basically be actually professional life coaches, because it's not just mental health. It's emotional health and also being able to empower oneself to be who you want to be and help you find that. I feel an image consultant will do the same but more artificially unless you can find one that's very in tune psychologically. If the poster wants that, then fine, but maybe they should give more details and also not be so dismissive of those suspicious of such a path's success. In general, I'm advocating for a more wholistic approach, the same as another commenter who did a better job listing off various services. Image consulting seems rather niche, to say the least, and tailored towards people with a lot of money. The approach of finding various specialists is more realizable and probably affordable, though likely not all that cheap. They should be easier to find and will have very specific, professional, and tailored advice. It probably says something if an image consultant is so hard to find. I don't know much but do care and hope the person finds what they need.
