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.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Shelley brings a rare combination of expertise as a former registered dietitian turned hypnotherapist. Many people who seek hypnotherapy with her have already been harmed by dieting and restriction. Shelley's approach supports: reducing shame around eating, rebuilding trust in body cues, softening critical self-talk, and improving body image. When the body feels safer, behaviour and thoughts becomes more consistent, creating a sense of peace and healing.

Struggles with body image often carry deeper layers of self-criticism, shame, or comparison. I offer a compassionate space to explore your relationship with yourself and build greater self-acceptance and self-trust.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising a significant majority of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
