Weight Loss
Interactive Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RPC
Lasting weight loss involves more than just dieting; it's about addressing the emotional and psychological factors that influence eating habits. Counselling for weight management offers a non-judgmental space to explore your relationship with food, identify triggers for emotional eating, and cultivate mindful eating practices. Therapists help you reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms for stress, leading to sustainable and compassionate lifestyle changes. The goal is to build a positive body image and increase your overall well-being, moving beyond a cycle of guilt and restriction toward lasting health.

Weight Loss
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
The struggle to lose weight occurs in males and females across varying cultures. Feeling unable to lose weight can create feelings of helplessness due to trying out numerous diets without seeing satisfying results. In working with somebody who is overweight or who would like to lose weight the most important factor in our work together is looking beyond the weight loss struggle. Rather than exploring the multiple methods you have tried to lose weight, I would like to get to know you better as a whole person. When did you begin recognizing your need to lose weight? What was going on for you at the time? What does weight gain mean to you, and how does it affect your perception of yourself? I would also like to explore the barriers to losing weight, as they are often linked to unhealthy thoughts patterns and past trauma. Although a small portion of our work together can include psychoeducation on nutrition, we predominantly focus on the underlying issues that have triggered the weight gain. Together we can devise a treatment plan to help you attain your goals and aspirations.

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 food and 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.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Weight concerns are often connected to emotional patterns, stress, self-image, and long-standing habits rather than willpower alone. I support individuals who wish to explore the emotional and psychological factors influencing their relationship with food, body image, and motivation.
My approach focuses on building self-awareness, strengthening healthy routines, and developing sustainable coping strategies. Therapy supports emotional regulation, mindful eating practices, and self-compassion, helping clients move toward balanced and healthier lifestyle choices at a pace that feels realistic and supportive.
