At Held Counselling we support you to make peace with your body. To explore your body story, to un-pack and un-learn years of diet culture and to stop letting your size stop you from living the life you want.

Hi, I’m Bridgette

With my own lived experience of navigating the world in a bigger body, and a Master of Counselling, I understand what it's like to face constant criticism, not feel good enough and to have a body that the world says doesn't belong.

Working together, I will support you to make peace with your body, eat intuitively, find joy in movement, and become self-compassionate. I work from a Health at Every Size® (HAES®) perspective - supporting you to shift the focus off weight and onto health. Part of our work will involve supporting you to understand society’s structures and how they impact your body story – profit and power thrive when you feel bad about yourself.

My style of counselling is kind, curious and authentic. I will be your cheerleader, your confidant and will gently challenge you. Working alongside you is a true privilege.
