Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I specialize in providing compassionate support and evidence-based therapy for individuals struggling with body image concerns. I understand the significant impact that negative body image can have on mental and emotional well-being, and I am dedicated to helping clients cultivate a healthier relationship with their bodies.
In my therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying factors contributing to their body image issues, such as societal pressures, past experiences, and internalized beliefs. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and self-compassion exercises, I help clients challenge negative thoughts and develop a more positive body image.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, express their concerns, and learn to appreciate their bodies for all they can do. Together, we focus on building self-esteem, fostering body acceptance, and promoting overall self-care and well-being.
If you're struggling with body image concerns, know that you're not alone. Contact me today to learn more about how my specialized therapy services can support you on your journey towards body acceptance and self-love.

Body image refers to an individual's perception, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards their own body. It is influenced by various factors including cultural standards, media messages, and personal experiences. A negative body image can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, and can interfere with daily life activities. On the other hand, a positive body image is associated with better mental health and overall well-being.
Body image concerns are common and can affect people of all ages and genders. Psychotherapy can help individuals develop a healthier relationship with their body by addressing negative thoughts and beliefs, exploring their personal experiences, and promoting self-acceptance and self-compassion. If you or a loved one is struggling with body image concerns, a licensed mental health professional can provide support and guidance towards a more positive and healthy relationship with your body.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with body image can affect how you move through the world — how you eat, dress, connect, and even how you speak to yourself. You may feel caught between wanting to accept your body and the pressure to change it. In therapy, we’ll explore your relationship with your body with gentleness and curiosity, uncovering the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. Grounded in a body-positive and self-compassionate approach, our work focuses on helping you build respect, trust, and appreciation for your body — not as something to fix, but as something to come home to.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Poor body image or "Body dysmorphic disorder" is a mental health disorder that can cause you to unduly focus on perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. This may be something easily overlooked by others but can trigger such negative feelings inside of you that it can present as social anxiety, embarrassment or shame. Hypnosis can help you overcome these feelings and reach a point of self-acceptance that will allow you to move on with living your life unhindered.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
I have borrowed Andrew Seuber's approach to working with a negative body image, that is from the inside out.
He suggests that "The negative image is understood as a dissociated and shame-based “part” of the personality in need of understanding and compassion, achieved via mindful awareness, “parts” dialogue and trauma processing.
The first step is to create healthy separation between the "observing" or aware Self and the part(s) absorbed in the eating disorder via mindful awareness.
Once this separation between the "whole" self and part of self is established, the Gestalt polarity tradition (empty chairs) is utilized to develop understanding of the shame-based part.
Understanding leads to compassion for the eating disordered part from a non-enmeshed state of consciousness, aka the aware self, the experiencing self, the observing self.
Healing of the eating disordered part occurs when that part no longer feels exiled as a "not-I" and is assisted in processing the traumatic roots of the disorder."
