Alexis Banyai
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and patterns rooted in past experiences. Many of my clients struggle with feeling constantly on edge, disconnected from themselves or others, or caught in cycles of self-criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who want to better understand their nervous system responses, build emotional regulation, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Clients work with me because they want therapy to feel safe, warm, and collaborative. I work from a person-centred, trauma-informed approach, integrating mindfulness tools and practical coping skills. Sessions are guided by your needs and comfort level, allowing us to move at a pace that feels supportive and respectful.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Accepting New Clients - 2026 | Free First Session! (Limited Time) | Virtual Therapy
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in unhelpful patterns? Maybe you’re struggling with stress, relationships, self-doubt, or past experiences that still affect you today. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Think of me like your GPS: you set the end spot, and I will guide and redirect you along the way.
Hi, I’m Chelsey, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore what’s holding you back and build the life you want. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs.
I work with adults, teens, couples, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we’ll identify patterns, develop practical coping tools, and strengthen your sense of confidence and resilience.
My background includes experience in educational and community mental health settings, supporting children, adolescents, and adults with diverse emotional and learning needs. This allows me to bring a holistic, strengths-based perspective into my work.
I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions are always adapted to fit your goals, comfort level, and pace. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly understood and supported.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, true crime documentaries, spending time outdoors, and being with my dogs. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and genuine care into every session.
If you're ready to take the first step, let's chat. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we'd be a good fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you!
