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.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in helping you cultivate a kinder, more accepting relationship with your body through an integrative, client-centered approach. We’ll use mindfulness-based techniques to develop non-judgmental awareness, CBT to challenge unhelpful body-image beliefs, and acceptance and commitment approaches to reconnect with values beyond appearance. Parts work helps soothe critical inner voices, emotion-focused methods allow you to process underlying feelings, and spiritual/existential approaches can foster a deep sense of embodiment and self-compassion. Together, we’ll build practical tools and inner resilience so you can embrace your body with confidence and care.

The Okanagan is British Columbia's lake-and-vineyard interior region, anchored by Kelowna and including Vernon, Penticton, and a string of lakeside communities that mix agriculture, wine tourism, and tech growth in one of Canada's most popular retirement destinations. The region's mental health picture includes seasonal tourism economy stress, wildfire and smoke-season anxiety after repeated severe fire years, and the isolation some newcomers and retirees feel after relocating. Therapy access centres on Kelowna's growing practitioner community, with Interior Health providing public services and telehealth extending reach across the valley's smaller communities.
