Acknowledging that things are not ok is a brave first-step. First and foremost, I want you to know that you are not alone. Now let’s see if together we are a good fit to navigate these difficult thoughts, feelings, and events you’re experiencing. Many of my clients are men seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and trauma. In addition, with lived experience in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, I take pride in offering support for any related concerns.

I feel strongly that treatment is not a ‘one size fits all’ which is why I take an integrated framework, drawing upon various modalities of practice to individualize our work together to meet your needs.

Jessie Baynham

Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Years in practice: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy

My basic belief is hopeful and positive: that ultimately people are “good” and are striving for wellness with the internal and external resources they have.  I am committed to helping you unpack and leave behind stories and ways of coping that no longer serve your needs, while building resilience and moving towards new ways of relating to self and others, stepping authentically into life and relationships.

As a queer-identified woman, I am particularly interested but not exclusively focused on supporting clients within the LGBTQ2S+ community.  I intentionally support overall mental wellness for all men, women and adolescents as we work to resolve, understand and reflect on barriers that exist in attaining psychological well-being.

For 5+ years I have worked as a registered Social Worker in the field of mental health. I have been fortunate enough to work with clients in various settings, including community mental health and private practice. It is a privilege to learn about and share in the journeys of others. I am passionate about providing hope and helping clients to reexamine limiting beliefs in a way that helps them achieve their goals. I have extensive experience in supporting individuals with a wide range of mental wellness concerns using a client-centred and recovery-oriented approach, both in-person in Guelph and virtually (online). I use the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and emotion-focused therapy as my guiding framework for couples counselling.

I hear you. I believe in you. I care. I believe therapy is beneficial because it allows people to share their stories in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored). My approach draws from the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred techniques amongst others. I aim to help people better understand emotions, process difficult experiences, address unhelpful behaviours and work towards the life they want.

Do you find yourself tired of facing feelings of anxiety, “being stuck,” sadness, low motivation, or a lack of self-love? Are you interested in creating a stronger sense of self, understanding your choices, and digging into the roots of why you feel the way you do? Are you interested in looking at your past, taking power back over your story, and learning about new ways to take a look at things? Do you want to learn more about how our physical health can influence our emotional well-being? Together, we can look at your past, present, and future goals, and provide you with an understanding of what this means to you. My therapy approach uses CBT, ACT, Narrative, and more, but our work would be unique to your goals and needs.
