Hailey Roy

I see the courage it takes to seek counselling and believe that within you is the strength to achieve you goals and live your life to the fullest. I offer an encouraging space for you to begin to explore change, identify desired steps, and take action toward preferred outcomes.

Together, we can work together to help you find your way through difficult life changes and decisions, including new relationships, pregnancy, and education transitions. I can also help with relationship concerns, infidelity, and relationship breakdown. If parent-teen conflict is part of the struggle you're facing, we can work together on that too. I have experience helping clients with mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety, and stress management. I have an extensive background supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I have experience working in a palliative care context and is able to support clients with processing death, dying, grief and loss.

My credential of Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist reflects my training and experience supporting neurodivergent clients. My approach uses neurodiversity-affirming interventions to work with clients' unique needs, individual differences, and passions. My focus is on supporting clients to embrace their strengths and more effectively manage their challenges, allowing them to thrive in their personal and professional lives.

I approach my work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based and solution-focused lens. My counselling style pulls together cognitive behavioural (CBT), emotionally focused (EFT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), and narrative therapy. Each session is designed around your needs, meaning I'll offer a tailored approach that serves you best. 

I brings years of experience as a Registered Social Worker to my practice. I have worked in youth justice, mental health and substance use, crisis management and palliative care environments. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Additional training in supporting first responders complements my education and experience. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), and offer phone and video/virtual counselling services to adults on Vancouver Island and across British Columbia.
