Hi, I’m Brittany Hayes, a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, burnout, sleep concerns, and those periods where you just feel stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself.

My style is warm, collaborative, relational, and pretty human. Therapy with me isn’t about saying the “right” thing or having everything figured out before you walk in. You can swear, laugh, cry, change the subject, tell me you didn’t do the homework, or say you have no idea what you want to talk about.

I’m interested in more than helping you cope with what’s happening. We can also get curious about the patterns underneath it. Why does this keep happening? Why is this relationship so hard to let go of? Why do you understand everyone else’s behaviour but struggle to make room for your own feelings? Why do you keep saying “yeah, but…” when something is hurting you?

I’ll support you, but I’ll also challenge you when it feels useful. I don’t see therapy as me sitting across from you with all the answers. It’s something we figure out together.

My work draws from ACT, EMDR, CBT-I, IFS-informed therapy, person-centred therapy, and relational approaches. Sometimes our work is practical and focused on what is happening right now. Sometimes we look at earlier experiences and relationships that still seem to be showing up in your life. Usually, it’s a mix of both.

You don’t need a perfectly defined problem to start therapy. Sometimes “I don’t really know what’s wrong, I just know I don’t want to keep feeling like this” is more than enough.
