Hi, I’m Kayla Davies. As a counsellor, I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, build a stronger sense of who they are, and find greater emotional and spiritual balance. My experiences as a wife, a mom, and a practicing Christian shape the empathy, patience, and values-driven approach I bring to every session, supporting clients in a way that honours their unique beliefs and experiences.
Counselling Specialties:
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from McGill University and take a trauma-informed, person-centred approach to therapy. I believe that healing begins in the context of a safe and trusting relationship, and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.
My work focuses on helping individuals navigate anxiety, emotional regulation, relational challenges, self-esteem, and identity exploration. A key part of my approach is guiding clients in building insight. Understanding the “why” behind their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours by exploring formative experiences, family dynamics, and the many influences that shape who we are. Through reflection and reframing, I help clients view their stories from a new perspective, one that fosters self-compassion, growth, and possibility.
I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gottman Level 1, Positive Psychology, and Strengths-Based methods. I teach clients skills like mindfulness, self-compassion, boundary setting, and values exploration to help build resilience, manage emotions, and strengthen coping strategies. When it fits the client’s preferences, I also integrate a faith-informed perspective to support spiritual growth and meaning making.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, exploring self-worth, or seeking to understand patterns in your life, I offer a calm, grounded, and clinically informed presence to help you move forward with greater self-awareness and personal growth.
Looking for, finding, and connecting with a counsellor can seem overwhelming. We appreciate where you are, we know what that is like, and want to encourage you that you are brave. In our experience, it is so worth it; you are so worth it! You will never regret investing in yourself. Thank you for your time and courage.
