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.

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.
