Weight management continues to be a struggle for most people, even though now we are equipped with more knowledge and understanding of fitness and nutrition than ever before. For many people weight loss does not simply involve balancing physical activity, and food intake. For those who use food to cope with stress and distress, having the capacity to handle distressing emotions effectively is vital to weight management. Counselling and coaching can help you address and understand your relationship with mood and food, enabling you to be in control of your body and mind.

Weight Loss

Shannon Loewen

Psychologist, M.Sc. Counselling Psychology
There is a sense of strength, groundedness, and well-being that comes from truly accepting and believing in yourself. Often, how we see ourselves and our sense of worth stands in the way to our weight loss goals. I can support you to build self-acceptance and to identify and avoid self-sabotaging behaviours.

Weight Loss

The struggle to lose weight occurs in males and females across varying cultures. Feeling unable to lose weight can create feelings of helplessness due to trying out numerous diets without seeing satisfying results. In working with somebody who is overweight or who would like to lose weight the most important factor in our work together is looking beyond the weight loss struggle. Rather than exploring the multiple methods you have tried to lose weight, I would like to get to know you better as a whole person. When did you begin recognizing your need to lose weight? What was going on for you at the time? What does weight gain mean to you, and how does it affect your perception of yourself? I would also like to explore the barriers to losing weight, as they are often linked to unhealthy thoughts patterns and past trauma. Although a small portion of our work together can include psychoeducation on nutrition, we predominantly focus on the underlying issues that have triggered the weight gain. Together we can devise a treatment plan to help you attain your goals and aspirations.

Toronto, Ontario therapist: Brian Baumal, registered psychotherapist
Weight Loss

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help! I find people who want to lose weight keep saying "how will this time be different", or "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" or "Why am I deliberately ruining my health." Those struggling with obesity have these thoughts going through their head constantly, and even obsessively. My goal in therapy is to use my own experience of successful weight loss, the latest medical theories of obesity and a good solid approach to therapy to address these issues.
