Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Shelley brings a rare combination of expertise as a former registered dietitian turned hypnotherapist. Most people who struggle with their weight already know what foods support health, what habits they “should” be doing and what hasn’t worked before. And yet, emotions trigger overeating, motivation fades, all-or-nothing thinking takes over and shame leads to giving up. This isn’t failure; it’s how the subconscious mind works. Patterns like emotional eating, cravings, and self-sabotage operate below conscious awareness. That’s why insight alone often isn’t enough. Hypnotherapy works by shifting the subconscious patterns that drive behaviour. Rather than forcing change through discipline, Shelley's non-diet approach with hypnotherapy helps your system feel safe enough to respond differently by calming the nervous system, interrupting automatic habit loops, strengthening internal cues of trust and regulation, and reducing the emotional charge around food and weight. So change becomes less effortful, and more sustainable.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in exploring the emotional, psychological, and behavioural aspects of their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Obesity is often influenced by complex factors such as trauma, stress, anxiety, and societal pressure, and my approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and rooted in understanding each person's unique story. I help clients identify underlying emotional triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a more positive and sustainable relationship with their bodies and overall well-being. My goal is to empower individuals to make meaningful changes while fostering self-acceptance and resilience.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Weight isn't just about food—it's about pain, protection, trauma, and survival. Once we've built trust and safety, we'll gently explore what lies beneath: the emotional reasons your body holds onto weight, the ways food became comfort or control, the trauma that taught you to make yourself bigger or smaller. This isn't about dieting or shame. Our focus is your physical health and overall wellbeing, not achieving some ideal number. You'll learn to regulate emotions without using food, understand your body's signals, and address the root causes rather than just symptoms. Healing your relationship with your body means healing what's underneath.

Online in Burnaby, BC British Columbia (Online Only)
Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada, Telus, and other major technology companies — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
