At Rise & Shine Counselling, our goal is to help every person feel...
CONFIDENT & EMPOWERED
UNDERSTOOD & RESPECTED
SAFE & GROUNDED
"You don't have to pretend everything is okay."
Body image concerns can affect how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how confident you feel in your daily life. Ongoing self-criticism, comparison, or dissatisfaction with your appearance can contribute to anxiety, low mood, disordered eating patterns, and a persistent sense of not feeling “enough.”
​
With the right support, it’s possible to develop a healthier relationship with your body and with yourself. Body image counselling helps you understand where these beliefs come from, reduce shame and self-judgment, and build self-acceptance, confidence, and emotional well-being.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we're here to walk beside you on your mental health journey.

Embracing Body Neutrality
Our experienced therapists help you reduce self-criticism, challenge negative body beliefs, and build practical strategies for self-acceptance, confidence, and overall well-being.
Body image counselling uses evidence-based approaches to help individuals reduce self-criticism, shift focus away from appearance, and develop a more balanced perception of their bodies. Therapy may include strategies to recognize and challenge negative body thoughts, understand societal and internalized pressures, and cultivate self-respect that is not tied to appearance.
​
Therapists guide you in exploring emotions, developing healthier self-talk, and building practical skills to respond to triggers without judgment. These approaches help decrease anxiety, foster self-acceptance, and support a more neutral and realistic view of your body.

ABOUT US
Why Work With
Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness
"Where healing turns into growth, and growth turns into joy."
So often, we know deep down what we need to feel fulfilled, but something gets in the way. We fall into patterns that no longer serve us, in our relationships, our work, or how we care for ourselves. Over time, those habits quietly shape our days, and our days become our lives.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we believe that change is always possible. With the right support, you can break free from old cycles, reconnect with what truly matters, and start living in alignment with your values and goals.
​
We’re inspired by the idea that growth isn’t about becoming someone new. Rather, it’s about uncovering who you’ve been all along. Together, we’ll help you rediscover your confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose so you can rise into a life that feels grounded, intentional, and full of possibility.
