Psychotherapist in Guelph

Hayley Ratcliffe, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying) is a registered member of CRPO.

 Her  therapeutic philosophy is rooted in meeting clients  exactly where they  are in their life’s journey. This approach has been  instrumental in  guiding numerous individuals towards rediscovering  themselves or  evolving into the person they aspire to be. Hayley’s  educational  background, which includes an undergraduate degree in  Psychology and  Women’s and Gender Studies, profoundly shapes her  perspective. This  education has provided her with an intersectional  feminist lens,  allowing her to appreciate and address the diverse  experiences and  backgrounds of her clients.

Hayley’s  method of  talk therapy is deeply humanistic, emphasizing  trauma-informed and person-  centred care. However, she remains  flexible and adaptive in her  approach, tailoring her methods to best  suit each client’s unique needs  and circumstances. Among the various  therapeutic modalities, she employs  are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy  (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy  (EFT), Gestalt Therapy, Dialectical  Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Somatic  Experiencing (SE). This eclectic  mix ensures a comprehensive and  effective approach to mental wellness.

Outside  of her  professional life, Hayley enjoys spending quality time with her  dog,  indulging in video games, listening to audiobooks, and engaging  in  various crafting activities. Her hobbies reflect her well-rounded   personality and contribute to her empathetic and relatable approach
to therapy.

Hayley  invites anyone who feels drawn to her approach to reach out for a   conversation. Her commitment to providing a safe, genuine, validating,   and open-minded space for exploration and healing is a testament to her   dedication to the field of psychotherapy and her clients’ well-being.
