Kaitlyn Franklin Verified Listing

My education journey began in Nova Scotia where I completed my undergraduate degree and post-graduate internship with Acadia University. After completing this degree, I decided that it was time to move back to B.C. and begin my career as a Registered Dietitian.

My area of expertise fall within eating disorders, disordered eating, sports nutrition, HAES, intuitive eating, body image and meal planning. On top of my private practice I also hold a position within Island Health as an outpatient eating disorder dietitian.

Kaitlyn's experience as a Registered Dietitian provided her with valuable insight into the intricate relationship between mental and physical health. Driven by this understanding, she completed a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology with Honours through Yorkville University in 2024.

Over the past year, Kaitlyn's clinical counselling practice has centered on cultivating a safe space for clients to explore their relationship with food and body image. Grounded in the belief that eating should foster joy and satisfaction rather than guilt or anxiety, Kaitlyn employs a person-centered approach to meet individuals where they are, providing dedicated support throughout their wellness journey.

Although Kaitlyn specializes in concerns related to body image and an individual's relationship with food, her practice encompasses a wider spectrum of support. She also assists clients with anxiety disorders, navigating life transitions, grief & loss, enhancing self-esteem, establishing boundaries, and various other presenting concerns.
