Imagine having confidence in yourself and belief in your worth as a person. Imagine looking in the mirror and being satisfied with the person looking back at you. One of the things I love doing most is helping people to rediscover their beautiful, amazing, perfectly imperfect selves.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you cultivate a kinder, more accepting relationship with your body through an integrative, client-centered approach. We’ll use mindfulness-based techniques to develop non-judgmental awareness, CBT to challenge unhelpful body-image beliefs, and acceptance and commitment approaches to reconnect with values beyond appearance. Parts work helps soothe critical inner voices, emotion-focused methods allow you to process underlying feelings, and spiritual/existential approaches can foster a deep sense of embodiment and self-compassion. Together, we’ll build practical tools and inner resilience so you can embrace your body with confidence and care.

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.

Kimberly Davidson | Katalyst Integrated Trauma Treatment
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.

GRIS ALVES
Counsellor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I support clients struggling with body image through a trauma-informed, compassionate approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Body image concerns often reflect deeper emotional and relational experiences, including early conditioning, trauma, or shame. In therapy, we gently explore these patterns while building greater body awareness, self-compassion, and a more respectful, connected relationship with the body.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
Body image is still a massively understated issue in our society, for both women and men. Our culture privileges certain body types over others everywhere we look, to the point where body shame is ingrained in us from every direction. Hollywood, social media, and Photoshop have created unattainable ideals and told us we are doing something wrong by not attaining them. Our therapy will explore what "ideal" body image means to you, the implicit beliefs about appearance you may hold, as well as your relationship to your own body and health, all in a non-judgmental environment.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
We have been told to look a certain way since the day we were born - hence our never ending fight with our bodies. Working through our conditioning and shame around our bodies can lead to a life more fulfilled and free

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.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
