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.

Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Has worry about your appearance taken over your thoughts and life? Does it feel hard to have a stable sense of self-worth that does not depend on what you look like? I use evidence-based strategies to help you build awareness of what's keeping you stuck fixating on your appearance, renegotiate your relationship with your body and lead a life that fulfills you in the long-term. I integrate elements from cognitive therapy for eating disorders (CBT-E), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and narrative therapy.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Therapy is often an effective way to address body image concerns. In therapy, a person may explore all the factors that have contributed to a current mode of relating to self. We can work together to develop awareness of how much of our self-perception can come from negative comments by others as well as explore the impacts of societal and systemic expectations and pressures. I would like to help you identify the roots of low self-esteem and begin a healing process that focuses on building greater self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Body image struggles are often about far more than appearance. They can be deeply tied to shame, self-worth, trauma, societal pressure, chronic illness, or the exhausting feeling that your body is something to fight, fix, or disconnect from.
My approach goes beyond simply trying to “feel better” about your body. Together, we explore the deeper patterns beneath body image struggles, reconnect with who you are, reduce shame, and work toward rebuilding your relationship with yourself through greater compassion, meaning, creativity, and joy.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Body image is a deeply personal aspect of our lives, shaping how we perceive and feel about our physical appearance. It involves our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions about our bodies, and it plays a significant role in our self-esteem and mental well-being. When we have a positive body image, we cultivate feelings of confidence and self-acceptance, which are so vital for our happiness. Conversely, struggling with a negative body image can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and sadness.
It’s important to remember that societal standards of beauty can often distort our perceptions of ourselves. This makes it even more essential to nurture an attitude that celebrates the diversity of body shapes and sizes around us. Practicing self-love, showing gratitude for our bodies, and surrounding ourselves with positive and supportive people can truly help foster a healthier body image. By doing so, we can promote a kinder and more loving relationship with ourselves, reminding us that we are all deserving of compassion and acceptance.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
When you’re caught in a cycle of self-criticism and comparison, it can feel impossible to feel at home in your own skin. Body image struggles are about more than appearance—they touch self-worth, identity, and how you move through the world. In therapy, we’ll work on quieting the inner critic, building self-compassion, and shifting focus from appearance to overall well-being. You deserve to feel confident, at peace, and free to live fully as yourself.

The messages we get from society and the pop culture can really make it hard to be self-accepting.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy offers a powerful way to explore and shift your relationship with your body in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. Through creative expression, you can externalize internalized beliefs, process emotions, and reconnect with your body from a place of curiosity rather than criticism. Using symbols, movement, and imagery, we can explore the narratives you hold about your body and gently reshape them toward self-acceptance and appreciation. My approach integrates mindfulness and body-based practices, allowing you to cultivate a deeper sense of connection, trust, and respect for yourself.
