Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we provide specialized care for individuals navigating body image challenges, particularly in the context of gender dysphoria and the struggle for alignment between one’s internal identity and external appearance. Our therapeutic focus centers on somatic and relational approaches, tailored to address the complexities of body congruency and self-acceptance in the face of gender identity struggles.
Through somatic therapy techniques, we guide clients in exploring the ways in which their body-related distress manifests physically and emotionally. By fostering a deep connection between mind and body, our therapists help individuals process and integrate their experiences, promoting a sense of unity and empowerment within themselves.
Our relational approach emphasizes building a secure and empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports individuals through their journey of self-discovery and body acceptance. We create a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences related to body image, gender identity, and self-expression without fear of judgment.
By integrating somatic and relational modalities, we aim to assist clients in cultivating a more harmonious relationship with their bodies and gender identity. Through this holistic and affirming approach, individuals can work towards embracing their authentic selves, fostering self-compassion, and nurturing a positive body image that aligns with their true identity. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can embark on a transformative journey towards self-acceptance, authenticity, and inner peace.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Body image runs wild through our society. It has no malice or bias, it clings to a variety of us in each our own experiences. So what is it? How to overcome it? Is it about overcoming it? What is it trying to tell us?
I have run many workshops in this area as well as studied extensively with clients as to what is underneath it all for them. I'm also a fellow body image impacted person. I'm here, I'm with you, I see the path and light. Let's find yours.

Bethany Rooker
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
I specialize in working with the eating disorders and body image community. I have been supporting this community for nearly 10 years, with 2.5 years of direct counselling experience. Developing body confidence and self-care can be challenging in our society that condemns body diversity or changing. I offer my clients the space to explore what their body image means to them and how to develop a sense of empowerment and self-love.
