Rita Chand

I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and certified shame-informed treatment specialist dedicated to helping people heal their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. I, too, have walked the path of struggling with my body, and I bring both personal understanding and professional expertise to my work.

I support individuals and groups who have faced lifelong weight challenges, emotional eating, or changes connected to GLP1 medications and bariatric surgery. Together, we explore the underlying emotions that shape these experiences such as grief, shame, or unmet needs while creating healthier, more compassionate ways of caring for yourself.

My approach also extends to those seeking support beyond food and body challenges, including trauma, identity, relationships, and life transitions. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to uncover what lies beneath the surface and to build tools that bring relief, resilience, and renewed self-trust.

Whether you are seeking healing around weight-related challenges or navigating other areas of emotional pain, I will walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and respect as you move toward meaningful change.

My clients describe me using words like compassionate, non-judgmental, warm, passionate, understanding and a great-listener.
