Bailey Counselling Therapy

As a registered nurse and clinical counsellor, my mission is to support transformation and facilitate deep understanding of the issues that clients bring to the table. I have a passion for making a difference in the world and have always been drawn to contributing to healing and health.

I offer a unique blend of nursing and psychological expertise, which enables me to take a holistic body-centred approach to counselling. This approach recognizes the interconnected nature of the mind, body, and spirit, and believes that all of these domains contribute to overall health and wellness. By acknowledging and honouring the body's wisdom, individuals can identify and address the underlying causes of their struggles and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

My desire is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe that every person has the ability to heal and grow, and that the process of counselling can be a powerful tool in facilitating this growth. Through a collaborative relationship, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and challenges, and develop new ways of being in the world that are meaningful to them.

I offer counselling services in a range of areas, including:

My areas of specialization include working with individuals who have experienced trauma, are navigating transitions, or are seeking support with reproductive health issues.

What's New

My approach to counselling is influenced by the latest research in neurobiology and the importance of safety and healing. I believe that safety is an essential part of the healing process, and that by creating a safe and nurturing environment, individuals can begin to heal and grow. I also value the importance of mindfulness and have incorporated mindfulness practices into my work with clients.

Mind-Body Therapies

I have a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and believe that the mind and body are essentially inseparable. By incorporating mind-body therapies into my practice, I have seen clients experience significant improvements in their physical and emotional well-being. These therapies enhance the mind's positive impact on the body and can lead to greater overall health and wellness.

Advocacy Work

In addition to my work as a counsellor, I am passionate about making a positive difference in the world. I am involved in advocacy work with other professionals to help improve service provision in the transgender community and to create wider positive change. I believe that every individual deserves access to high-quality care and services that are tailored to their unique needs and experiences.
