Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Struggling with body image can quietly shape so much of daily life — what you wear, what you eat, how you show up in the world, how much space you feel allowed to take. If you're tired of being at war with your own reflection, let's work together to help you find a more peaceful relationship with yourself.
The first step in working with body image is understanding that there is nothing wrong with your body — the struggle usually has much deeper roots than appearance alone. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where these beliefs came from and gently unlearn the patterns keeping you stuck. My approach centers self-compassion, body awareness, and rebuilding trust with yourself.
You don't have to face this alone. Let's take the first step toward a kinder, more grounded relationship with your body.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
Being a woman myself and by listening to many, many other peoples stories of body image issues, I feel I have a good understanding of body image issues and how they can impact the person experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your body to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I aim to do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Jade at We Tackle Trauma
Counsellor/Therapist, MAASW, MSW, QTS, BSc (Hons)
I combine lived experience with trauma-informed practice and an intersectional lens, to unpick how trauma may impact body image but also how embodied trauma may be internalised. Work with me if you believe that body image is not just in your head. Consults are free and instantly bookable on the We Tackle Trauma website, I look forward to meeting you- Jade Evelyn Gayle
