Hayley Payne

Hayley is a Registered Social Worker with an MSW degree and over seven years of experience working within the child welfare system. Throughout her career, she has supported individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds and with diverse experiences, bringing a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgmental approach to her work.

Hayley practices from an attachment-informed, strengths-based perspective, recognizing how our early experiences, relationships, and life circumstances shape the way we understand ourselves and connect with others. She holds a certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns while building on their existing strengths.

Hayley has a particular interest in supporting young adults, women, and families as they navigate life’s transitions and challenges. Her areas of focus include the transition to parenthood, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and the personal growth that comes with changing roles and identities.

At the heart of Hayley’s approach is the belief that meaningful change begins with feeling understood, supported, and connected. She strives to create a space where clients feel comfortable showing up as they are, exploring their experiences without judgment, and developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Meaningful change begins with feeling understood, supported, and connected.
