Evonie Johnson, EJ Counselling and Coaching
Registered Social Worker, BA (Psychology), BSW, MSW, RSW
Weight management continues to be a struggle for most people, even though now we are equipped with more knowledge and understanding of fitness and nutrition than ever before. For many people, weight loss does not simply involve balancing physical activity, and food intake. For those who use food to cope with stress and distress, having the capacity to handle distressing emotions effectively is vital to weight management. Counselling and coaching can help you address and understand your relationship with mood and food, enabling you to be in control of your body and mind.

Weight Loss
Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients with weight loss focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where they can explore the physical, emotional, and behavioral factors influencing their health. I work collaboratively to identify patterns related to eating, activity, stress, and self-image, while helping clients develop practical, sustainable strategies to achieve their goals. Using evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive-behavioural techniques and motivational support, I guide clients in building confidence, fostering healthy habits, and improving overall well-being. My goal is to empower clients to make lasting lifestyle changes while cultivating a positive relationship with their body and health.

Aaron Chin
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MA, RCC
When working with weight loss, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

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.
