Meet Kayla

What makes me come alive?

Hi, I’m Kayla Davies. I have always been curious about what shapes us into who we are: the experiences, relationships, and patterns that influence how we see ourselves and connect with others. I love helping clients explore the “why” behind their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours so they can develop greater self-compassion, understanding, and the freedom to create meaningful change.

My experiences as a wife, mom, and Christian have shaped the empathy and perspective I bring to my work. Outside of counselling, I find joy in the everyday moments that create connection and meaning: cooking meals for my family, working on projects around our home, gardening, spending time outdoors, and learning new things. These experiences continually remind me of the importance of growth, patience, connection, and the small moments that shape our lives.

I strive to create a warm, grounded space where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as they navigate their own stories and seasons of life.

MA in Counselling Psychology from McGill University

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.

Kayla is particularly passionate about:

CBT for Anxiety, OCD & Overthinking – including emotional regulation, rumination, intrusive thoughts, panic, and stress management

Self-Worth, Confidence & Perfectionism – helping clients overcome self-criticism, people-pleasing, and feeling “not enough”

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.
