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.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Struggles with body image are rarely about how you look; they are about how safe and connected you feel while living inside a body that is constantly subjected to societal scrutiny, ableism, and conditioning. Serving clients online throughout British Columbia, I integrate creative art therapy and somatic exploration to help you transition from critical external self-judgment to a compassionate internal experience. We will work slowly to foster an embodied self-acceptance that feels real, safe, and entirely your own.

Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
Struggling with body image can affect so much more than how we feel about our appearance. It can influence our confidence, relationships, and sense of self-worth. You may find yourself caught in cycles of comparison, self-criticism, or feeling uncomfortable in your own body. Drawing on my background in eating disorder recovery coaching, I offer a compassionate space to explore your relationship with your body, understand the beliefs and experiences that shape how you feel about yourself, and work toward greater self-acceptance. My hope is to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and at peace with yourself, wherever you are in your journey.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
We have been told to look a certain way since the day we were born - hence our never ending fight with our bodies. Working through our conditioning and shame around our bodies can lead to a life more fulfilled and free

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Body image issues may involve a distorted perception of one’s body, which can lead to severe dissatisfaction and maladaptive behaviours. This can manifest in various ways, including obsessive comparisons with others, avoidance of social situations, and extreme measures to change one’s appearance. 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 from a holistic perspective– combining therapeutic techniques that involve the mind, body and soul. You can expect compassion, gentle curiosity, and understanding from me in our sessions. I'm here to hold space, and solace so that you can return back home to yourself. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.
