Body Image
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Perceptions of one’s physical self is a very personal and individual experience. Sometimes we focus so intently on the image we see when we look in the mirror that we can forget all of the positive qualities we possess. We can start to devalue ourselves and place all of our worth on our physical appearance. When working with clients who are struggling with body image, I will ask them to focus on other qualities, abilities and strengths they possess separate from their physical self. Starting to see ourselves in a more balanced way can increase positive self-image. We will also try to determine where the negative thoughts and messages come from and use CBT to reframe those thoughts in a more self-accepting light. Please book a free consultation if this sounds like it may be helpful for you.

Maribel Ayala
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, EMDR Certified Therapist, Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist
Do you struggle with how you see or feel about your body? You may find yourself frequently criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, avoiding mirrors or photos, feeling uncomfortable in certain clothes, or spending a lot of time worrying about how others perceive you. Body image concerns can affect confidence, relationships, intimacy, and how comfortable you feel in everyday life.
I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with body image, self-esteem, appearance-related anxiety, and a difficult relationship with their body. Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be shaping how you see yourself.
My approach integrates traditional talk therapy with specialized neuroscience-informed and body-based therapies to support a deeper understanding of the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and nervous system. Depending on your needs and goals, therapy may incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Ego State Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and other evidence-based approaches.
Whether you prefer the comfort of virtual sessions or in-person support, I offer therapy in London and Grand Bend, Ontario, as well as secure online therapy across Ontario. Together, we can work toward developing a more compassionate relationship with your body, strengthening self-confidence, and feeling more comfortable being yourself.
If you’re looking for support with your relationship with your body, I invite you to connect and explore whether therapy may be a good fit for you. Book your initial appointment through our secure online booking portal at https://serenitymindbodypsychotherapy.janeapp.com.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you struggle with body image, you may find yourself constantly criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, or feeling that your worth rises and falls with the number on a scale or how you look in the mirror. These thoughts can quietly shape your confidence, your relationships, and even the way you show up in the world.
At Selah Counselling, we approach body image with compassion and depth. We recognize that body dissatisfaction is often rooted in deeper experiences, cultural pressures, attachment wounds, and nervous system stress. Together, we explore the beliefs you have internalized about your body and gently challenge the shame that may have attached to it. Our work focuses on building self-compassion, strengthening identity beyond appearance, and helping you develop a more respectful and regulated relationship with your body. The goal is not perfection. It is freedom, steadiness, and a sense of worth that is not dependent on how you look.
