Mary Rose Dias
Therapist, MSc, BA, EMCC Senior Practitioner, Certified iRest Meditation Teacher
Our bodies are beautiful gifts; vehicles for us to enjoy and experience and love in our lives. A common (and false!) message received in our society today is that we are defined by our body, that our worth is dependant on our body and that some bodies are more worthy than others. My work with clients is to un-do these false and destructive beliefs and to support clients to love, appreciate and enjoy their beautiful bodies just as they are.

Jade at We Tackle Trauma
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, QTS, BSc (Hons), MAASW
Hi there, I combine lived experience, with trauma-informed practice, and an intersectional lens. My approach is non-directive, and I work with you to explore your experiences and how these have shaped your body image. I offer a holistic and joy-centred approach; therefore, we can work together utilising creative, somatic, and talking therapies to support you in supporting your body image (as you wish) moving forwards.
My knowledge base includes understandings of how trauma may impact body image, and also how embodied trauma may be internalised; and therefore addressed. I work with people of all body types and sizes, including those navigating disability, and those experiencing societal interactions that may seek to shape or limit their body. I also work appropriately with members of marginalised communities, and those seeking support connected to racialized, sexualised, or gendered societal body expectations. This includes those seeking to affirm or change their bodily presentations. Consults are free and instantly bookable on the We Tackle Trauma website, I look forward to meeting you- Jade Evelyn Gayle

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.
