Hello! I’m Andrea Giraldez-Hayes, PhD, chartered psychologist, registered psychotherapist, and coach with a decade of experience helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate their personal and emotional challenges. I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust and mutual respect, where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours without fear of judgment.
My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and direct. I’m here to listen and gently challenge you in ways that promote growth and self-awareness. I primarily use Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychotherapy, blending these approaches to help you develop practical skills for managing life transitions, stress, anxiety and depression, empowering you to take control of your life. I am deeply committed to inclusivity and social justice, working with clients of all identities and backgrounds.
Whether you’re struggling with identity, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you in a way that honours your unique experiences, making you feel respected and valued. My therapy journey began from a place of curiosity and compassion, driven by a desire to understand the human experience and help others find their path to healing.
