Counsellor/Therapist, RCS, MTC, RTC, SEP, CCTP, CCISM, CFRC, CATP, NARM
Quite often disordered body image is a result of trauma. Changing our relationship to our bodies and ourselves through understanding, while leaving the protection it offers in place, goes a long way to healing the whole person.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Body image challenges often live not only in our thoughts, but in how we experience our bodies. They can show up as tension, disconnection, self-criticism, or a sense of not feeling at home in one’s body. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, supporting reconnection with physical sensations, cultivating self-compassion, and fostering a more grounded, accepting, and respectful relationship with the body.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with body image, you may find yourself constantly criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, or feeling that your worth rises and falls with the number on a scale or how you look in the mirror. These thoughts can quietly shape your confidence, your relationships, and even the way you show up in the world.
At Selah Counselling, we approach body image with compassion and depth. We recognize that body dissatisfaction is often rooted in deeper experiences, cultural pressures, attachment wounds, and nervous system stress. Together, we explore the beliefs you have internalized about your body and gently challenge the shame that may have attached to it. Our work focuses on building self-compassion, strengthening identity beyond appearance, and helping you develop a more respectful and regulated relationship with your body. The goal is not perfection. It is freedom, steadiness, and a sense of worth that is not dependent on how you look.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Body image is a deeply personal aspect of our lives, shaping how we perceive and feel about our physical appearance. It involves our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions about our bodies, and it plays a significant role in our self-esteem and mental well-being. When we have a positive body image, we cultivate feelings of confidence and self-acceptance, which are so vital for our happiness. Conversely, struggling with a negative body image can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and sadness.
It’s important to remember that societal standards of beauty can often distort our perceptions of ourselves. This makes it even more essential to nurture an attitude that celebrates the diversity of body shapes and sizes around us. Practicing self-love, showing gratitude for our bodies, and surrounding ourselves with positive and supportive people can truly help foster a healthier body image. By doing so, we can promote a kinder and more loving relationship with ourselves, reminding us that we are all deserving of compassion and acceptance.

Anna MacGillivray
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC
I believe that embodiment allows for true health. So many of us spend time disconnected from, hating on, and uncomfortable in our bodies. Focusing on healing the wounds that separated you from your body can help build a stronger sense of self esteem and bring back safety to the body.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Struggles with body image are rarely about how you look; they are about how safe and connected you feel while living inside a body that is constantly subjected to societal scrutiny, ableism, and conditioning. Serving clients online throughout British Columbia, I integrate creative art therapy and somatic exploration to help you transition from critical external self-judgment to a compassionate internal experience. We will work slowly to foster an embodied self-acceptance that feels real, safe, and entirely your own.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Issues around body image are largely linked to harsh self-judgments, which often interfere with the ability to live a rich and fulfilling life. In therapy, I help you gain insight into some of the thoughts and emotions that prevent the establishment of self-worth and self-love. Through various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive restructuring and a focus on values-oriented work, we work collaboratively to help move away from self-defeating thoughts and closer toward experiences that promote healing.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Body image work isn't about learning to love what you see in the mirror. It's about understanding the relationship between your body, your history, and the world you've had to navigate. I work with clients untangling shame, disconnection, and the ways they've learned to manage how they take up space. We go slow, and we don't treat your body as a problem to be fixed.
