Plus Size Affirming Counselling

What Experiences Do Larger Bodies Face?

Oftentimes people who have grown up in a larger body have faced systemic or social barriers because of their body. Their experiences can vary, and are often vastly different from their thinner peers. 

​

I work with plus clients who have faced any of the following challenges in life:

  • Binge eating 

  • Body shame

  • Family criticism

  • Social anxiety

  • Healthcare bias

  • Low self‑esteem

  • Identity struggles

  • Hurtful comments

  • Systemic pressures

  • Intimacy challenges

  • Relationship concerns

  • Fear of public judgment

  • Thoughts about weight‑loss journeys (GLP‑1, Ozempic, Wegovy) navigating others’ reactions to weight changes

  • Thinking about or navigating Gastric Bypass, pre and post surgery

  • Feeling isolated from thinner peers’ experiences

Size inclusive bodies and representation

What is Plus Size Affirming Counselling?

Justice and solidarity for all sizes

Sometimes referred to as Fat Liberation, Health at Every Size, or Counselling for Anti-Fat Bias. What I offer is an inclusive space, that is accessible for all body types, from someone who understands what it’s like to grow up in a body larger than those around them. 

​​

My work focuses on the injustices plus size individuals have constantly faced for just existing. We will work on showing up for yourself with compassion, how to face the criticisms from those around you, and processing the attacks others have had on your body.
