I don't think there really is any such thing as an ideal client... my preference is someone who wants a combination of 'offloading' to a skilled listener and provision of psychological skills/strategies to help make their situation better.

Change is a universal, life constant - and yet it so often resisted. It seems to happen without our consent, against our will - and too often without active measures to make the most of it. Working compassionately with people in all the throes of change, in a counselling, educational and facilitative capacity, I see the vast difference in process and outcome between those who lean into and own the experience, as opposed to those who resist or dread change and see themselves as victims of something beyond their influence or control - It's no mystery which type adapts better. So why not choose to thrive amid change?

Obesity Counsellors
Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?
Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.
When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?
When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.
Are there specific medications for weight loss?
There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.
What is body positivity?
Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
