Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am here to support you whether you have an eating disorder or you can see there is some unhelpful patterning going on with your relationship with food. I have worked a great deal with the whole spectrum and have seen real success for people through therapy. This includes processing of one's familial history and messaging around food and weight and the impact this has had, skills around managing difficult thoughts and emotions, addressing fears around weight gain/giving up control and getting clear around what is important to you and how your relationship with your food and body may be getting in the way.

Eating Disorders
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Eating disorders can feel all-consuming, impacting your relationship with food, your body, and how you experience yourself. You may find yourself caught in cycles of restriction, bingeing, or feeling out of control around food, often alongside shame, guilt, or a harsh inner critic. These patterns are often rooted in past experiences, serving as protective ways of coping—even if they no longer feel helpful.
In our work together, we’ll take a trauma-informed approach, exploring your relationship with food and your body with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment. Rather than focusing on control or quick fixes, we’ll gently work with the underlying experiences and nervous system patterns shaping these behaviours, moving at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
I draw from EMDR, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your needs and readiness. When appropriate, EMDR can help process underlying experiences contributing to disordered eating, creating space for new ways of relating to yourself. Together, we’ll build practical tools while supporting deeper healing and a more compassionate, sustainable relationship with food and your body.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
If you’re yearning to shift your relationship with food and feel more in tune and loving towards your body, I’m here to support you. Having gone through my own healing journey, I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out. I approach body image and disordered eating from a holistic perspective– combining therapeutic techniques that involve the mind, body and soul. Eating disorders are a coping strategy, and I help support clients get curious and heal from the underlying pain they are trying to protect themselves from.

Eating Disorders
Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Eating Disorders develop as a way of navigating deep unresolved emotional pain and trauma. All our emotions and trauma are stored in our bodies. Working with eating disorders involves not only navigating the behavioural symptoms of disordered eating but more importantly developing a compassionate relationship to the body by connecting in, to where the emotional pain is stored. Together, with compassion and understanding we work on lifting the shame connected to body image and the external ways that has been created, then facing the deeper internal emotional issues at the root. It is possible to fully heal from disordered eating.

Eating Disorders
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.

Coquitlam is one of Metro Vancouver's Tri-Cities communities, a rapidly growing suburb that has attracted a large and diverse immigrant population—particularly from China, South Korea, and Iran—making it one of the most multicultural communities in the greater Vancouver area and creating significant demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapy. Fraser Health provides public mental health services, and access to Vancouver's much broader private therapy market—either in person or via telehealth—gives Coquitlam residents a wide range of options for culturally matched practitioners. The city's rapid growth and its character as a first landing point for many new Canadians means that acculturation stress, immigration transition, and intergenerational family dynamics are among the most common presenting concerns in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns also include anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and the challenges of navigating Canadian institutions and community life in a new country.
