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.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in supporting sustainable weight loss through a holistic, integrative approach: we use acceptance and commitment therapy to align your goals with your core values, mindfulness practices to foster intuitive eating and body awareness, and parts work to address internal barriers to change. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help reshape unhelpful thoughts around food and self-image, while emotion-focused techniques allow you to process emotional eating triggers. When meaningful, I draw on spiritual/existential approaches to connect you with deeper motivation and self-compassion. Together, we’ll create practical tools, healthy habits, and an empowering mindset to guide you toward lasting wellness.

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.

Challenges around weight are often deeply connected to emotions, self-criticism, and stress rather than willpower alone. I support clients in exploring their relationship with food, body, and self-compassion.

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.

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.
