Meet Hayden Johnston!
A Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with G&G.
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to explore my bio. You might be wondering, “Can this counsellor truly help me?” It’s a valid question, and I’m here to help you decide. If you’re navigating challenges like addiction, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or trauma, and you’re seeking compassionate, non-judgmental support from someone with both personal and professional insight, I may be the right fit for you.
Although counselling has typically set out to be a one way sharing street, I acknowledge the importance of understanding the human behind your care. I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, have lived abroad, and bring a welcoming and inclusive perspective to my work. The significant healing I have done in my own life brings professional value to our relationship as well as the lived experience you can relate to. I strongly believe in, and am dedicated to, ongoing learning to stay on top of the ever-evolving counselling industry as well as evidence-based clinical treatments. Outside of work, I’m a husband and father who enjoys traveling, sports, and self-care practices like sauna and cold plunges.
After almost a decade of clinical experience, I have developed an eclectic approach which pulls from modalities such as CBT, DBT, client-centered therapy, psychedelic therapy, and meaning-centered therapy to offer results driven care. I work best with people who are ready to break free from unhealthy patterns and create lasting change. If you recognize your potential, are struggling to see your worth, and are looking for a supportive guide to help you tap into it I would love to show you the way. I can help you better understand yourself while creating a safe space to explore and identify your deeper rooted emotions that are contributing to the ‘why’s’ in your life.
Ultimately, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you in a collaborative journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to create meaningful change. If this resonates with you, it would be an honor to connect and discuss how we can work together.
