Welcome to VitHelp

Because living with vitiligo is about more than your skin.

Vitiligo can affect how you see yourself, how you feel around others, and how confidently you move through the world.

At VitHelp, we focus on the psychological side of vitiligo, offering practical, psychology-based tools to support your confidence, body image, and mental wellbeing.

The goal isn't perfect acceptance. The goal is freedom.

about

Hi; I’m Jess!


I'm a registered psychologist and the founder of VitHelp. I've lived with vitiligo since I was 13, so I know firsthand that living with vitiligo can be about so much more than changes to your skin.

I created VitHelp to bring together my personal experience and knowledge of psychology, making practical tools and reliable information more accessible to others navigating life with vitiligo.

Whether you're living with vitiligo yourself or supporting a child or loved one, I hope you'll find something here that helps you feel more informed, confident and empowered to live life on your own terms.

We’re here to support children, teens, and adults affected by vitiligo through evidence-based, compassionate mental health care.

What we offer:

  • Psychology-Based Education — Understand the emotional and psychological experiences of living with vitiligo, including body image, confidence, anxiety and self-esteem.

  • Free Resources & Practical Tools — Explore downloadable guides, workbooks and exercises designed to encourage reflection, build awareness and develop everyday coping skills.

  • Self-Paced Online Courses & Workshops — Learn practical, psychology-informed strategies through structured educational programs focused on body image resilience, confidence and emotional wellbeing.

  • Brighter Than Skin Podcast — Explore the emotional side of living with vitiligo through honest conversations, personal experiences and psychology-based insights on body image, confidence, self-esteem and navigating everyday challenges.
