Registered Psychotherapist, M.A. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, EMDR Certified Therapist, Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist
Do you struggle with how you see or feel about your body? You may find yourself frequently criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, avoiding mirrors or photos, feeling uncomfortable in certain clothes, or spending a lot of time worrying about how others perceive you. Body image concerns can affect confidence, relationships, intimacy, and how comfortable you feel in everyday life.
I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with body image, self-esteem, appearance-related anxiety, and a difficult relationship with their body. Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be shaping how you see yourself.
My approach integrates traditional talk therapy with specialized neuroscience-informed and body-based therapies to support a deeper understanding of the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and nervous system. Depending on your needs and goals, therapy may incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Ego State Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and other evidence-based approaches.
Whether you prefer the comfort of virtual sessions or in-person support, I offer therapy in London and Grand Bend, Ontario, as well as secure online therapy across Ontario. Together, we can work toward developing a more compassionate relationship with your body, strengthening self-confidence, and feeling more comfortable being yourself.
If you’re looking for support with your relationship with your body, I invite you to connect and explore whether therapy may be a good fit for you. Book your initial appointment through our secure online booking portal at https://serenitymindbodypsychotherapy.janeapp.com.

Francisca Carrasco - Compassionate Healing
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC. M.Psych
Difficulties with body image often involve shame, harsh self-judgment, and feeling disconnected from your body. I help clients develop a more compassionate and respectful relationship with their body, moving away from constant comparison or criticism. Therapy focuses on emotional awareness, self-compassion, and rebuilding a sense of safety and trust within yourself.

Rebecca Bonham
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
We live in a world of external and internal messages about our bodies - what they should look like, how they should move, what they should do. We learn as children that our body image is closely connected to our inherent worth, lovability, and belonging. I will companion with you to unpack and interrogate these messages and to explore where they came from, how they took root, and their impact on your life. We will explore truer ways to connect with your self and your body as beautiful, sovereign, and beloved - a process that begins and ends inside.
