Hayley Leggett

MA, B.Ed. Canadian Certified Counsellor #11260447. (she/her)

Hayley views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process that supports individuals in enhancing their quality of life while deepening their understanding of their experiences. She offers a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their unfiltered thoughts, emotions, and beliefs with curiosity.

Her approach is client-centered and grounded in compassion, empathy, respect, and genuine collaboration. Hayley is committed to meeting each person where they are, creating an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

Hayley works primarily with women and children aged 9 and up. In her work with children, she draws on her background as a teacher to thoughtfully support concerns such as bullying, learning difficulties, ADHD, and autism. With women, her practice focuses on areas including chronic stress, emotional regulation, perfectionism, and life transitions. She has a particular interest in women’s mental health, offering support for infertility, perinatal loss, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and identity changes in motherhood.

Hayley also supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions, and offers care for partners seeking support alongside these experiences.

Using an integrative, person-centered approach, Hayley primarily draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating grief, adjusting to a new chapter, or seeking a deeper sense of balance and clarity, Hayley provides a supportive space to help you move forward with intention and care.

Outside of her clinical work, Hayley often has two books on the go and enjoys journaling as a way to reflect and stay grounded. She also values movement and regularly attends spin and yoga classes, finding these practices both energizing and restorative.

Current hourly rate: $160 / $180 for couples.
