Therapists in Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC

I believe that connecting with and resourcing the body to process stuck emotions leads us to healing and relief. I am highly relational, and my goal is to build an intimate relationship with you where you have the space to process and release what you've been carrying. I value working with intense emotions, insecure attachment, trauma, and unpacking life experiences to relieve symptoms of anxiety, stuckness, and feelings of unworthiness. On my end, I'm a queer and neurodiverse person with a lot of big feelings, and I'm grateful for this work and the opportunity to deeply connect with my clients.

Clients come to me when they feel that something in their life needs to change, but can't quite see the path forward. Some clients aren't quite sure where to start, or even exactly where they want to go. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated or exhausted by the experiences and cycles in their life that seem to repeat themselves despite desperately wanting them to change! Our work together could help you gain clarity about where you want to go, identify and remove obstacles (internal & external), provide you with practical new tools for navigating a complex world, seeing changes, and moving forward with joy and confidence!

I always have been drawn to uncovering the complex ways we are impacted the experiences in our lives. In particular the impact of trauma on our resilience and on our 'stuck' places. Our bodies carry the weight of our histories and the histories we inherit. In reprocessing trauma it is necessary for us to be attuned to these somatic experiences and to foster the wisdom stored within our bodies.

Counselling together can support your journey towards becoming a heart-empowered individual by expressing the unexpressed & by shedding layers covering the truth of who you are. Slowing down + listening to the wisdom of the heart + interpreting our body signals as it speaks to us is vital to bringing balance in our lives. When we align with our heart’s intuitive guidance, we lighten our being and manifest a bridge to infinite possibilities.

I am passionate about supporting youth and adults I specializing in anxiety, mood, relationship, parenting, learning differences, ADHD, executive functioning, navigating schools/ education systems, and clinical counselling supervision. I work in a client centered, solution based approach, with individuals, groups and families. My goal is to help people better understand their challenges, social and emotional needs and how to prosper in their own personal growth. I can assist parents in understanding psychoeducational assessments and how their child's learning difference can impact a variety of aspects of their life.

I specialize in helping individuals and partners navigate the extra something that makes their relationship(s) a unique challenge. The folks I work with are often loving outside of the cisheteronormative & mononormative structure such as non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, and other LGBTQ2S+ relationships. I also work with clients whose experience of the world may be impacting their relationships, such as neurodivergent people, individuals living with disability, or folks for whom trauma is showing up. I help clients design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just need a neutral ear to listen? I am here for you. These are strange times we are living in and you are definitely not alone, although sometimes it can feel that way. You deserve to feel happiness, less anxious, and to feel that you have a purpose. I can help you get back to the best version of YOU.

My name is Tiffany Bayne and I'm a Registered Social Worker, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Mindset Coach. I'm someone who has walked the path of healing and self-discovery and it has led me to passionately explore and harness the incredible power of the subconscious mind. At the heart of my philosophy lies the belief that within each of us lies the power to create the life we desire, and the key to unlocking this lies within our subconscious minds. Through tailored coaching and hypnotherapy sessions, I strive to help my clients tap into this inner reservoir of strength and wisdom, facilitating profound shifts and true transformation.

I believe that every client is innately aware where they need to go (in therapy) to heal themselves. My role is to use my skills to help them along in that process. I meet clients where they are at recognizing that may change from session to session. We start with their goal(s) for counselling and work from there. I don't "need" to know anything in particular before we start. I find that with a trusting relationship, a client will share all that is relevant in order to attain their goal(s).

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), I offer online counselling to individual adults and couples facing issues such as anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. I help people understand how past experiences may have shaped their patterns and beliefs, and support learning new ways of relating to self and others that may increase connection, intimacy, and authenticity. I help clients learn things such as effective communication skills, how to set boundaries, how to manage stress and anxiety, and how to regulate their nervous systems so that they can navigate their daily lives with more ease and joy.

You are asking the big existential questions. Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? Perhaps you keep looking to self-help books and always taking the next seminar or online course - always looking for the answers outside yourself. You want to feel connected to yourself, your loved ones, and the world around you, yet you feel like you don't belong. You feel loss and grief and are searching for purpose but are living with depression and anxiety and questioning your self-worth.

I specialize in empowering people with knowledge, tools, and confidence to successfully "self manage" a health condition, or navigate a life transition, and "get back to better living". My area of expertise is working with clients with concussion/mTBI, COVID, pain, anxiety, mood, and executive functioning symptoms. My skill set is also applicable for persons "feeling stuck" and wanting to create meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives. With all clients, I use a client-centered, mindful, and holistic approach, guiding clients to set goals and use practical strategies and take steps to restore health and well-being.

I believe in your inner resources to heal and step onto a new path, in your own way, and offer my services in confidence, as a compassionate witness on your journey of healing. During our sessions, I will gently encourage you to be true to yourself and your own direction, especially as you explore unsettling or difficult issues. My training and experience includes both psychological and spiritual dimensions of human growth and potential. Psychology and spirit are deeply connected: I have witnessed my own and others' healing coming through the heart, the body and the spirit.

I believe that creating a safe, appreciative, and collaborative atmosphere is paramount in therapy. I am passionate about helping people explore their authentic selves, connect with their inner strengths, and use these strengths to create the changes that they desire. I believe people can use strengths and resources to not only overcome obstacles, but also to continually push themselves to achieve their ambitions. I love helping people embrace a growth mindset, view setbacks as opportunities for growth, and continuously strive towards being their best selves.

I am a Registered Psychologist and see clients at my office in Vancouver (Kitsilano). Through a respectful, non-judgemental, client-centred approach, my clients are empowered to become active participants in the treatment process. They learn the skills necessary to cope with difficult emotions and life experiences. I have extensive experience in the treatment of adolescents and adults through my private practice and my work in the public service. The approaches I use include cognitive-behavioural, systemic, brief and solution-focused therapies. However, I will always tailor my treatment and interventions to the needs of my client.

Sorting out life and all that it entails by yourself can be daunting. Know that you are not alone. I invite you to reach out for help as you address issues with support. You might find that negative mind chatter could be holding you back from finding relief. Maybe a lifetime of unhealthy relationships or other unhealthy habits has held you back. Together we will work to discover what needs to change for you to live better. Understanding how to heal so you can live with an overall feeling of health and sustainable well-being. Creating a life path to reach balance, wholeness, and wellness.

There are times when we just don’t feel like ourselves. For some of us, this means feeling overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions, while for others the disconnect can come from feeling nothing at all. This internal “ickiness” can show up through our emotions, thoughts, or in our body, and is often a scary, confusing, and unsettling experience. This intuitive feeling is typically caused by misalignment; whether it’s having conflict within ourselves, feeling out of step with those close to us, or feeling out of place in the world around us.
