Within the therapy space, I strive to cultivate a space where you feel safe and secure in exploring parts of yourself that maybe you have never been allowed to explore or have felt safe enough to acknowledge by yourself or with others. While everyone’s goals are unique, I welcome conversations surrounding what you hope for in therapy, whether that be guidance, problem-solving, or coping skills, I hope to help you create the meaningful change that you are looking for in your daily life.
The methodologies that I often turn to in our sessions are Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative approaches. I also enjoy Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and teaching Vagus Nerve relaxation strategies (let’s reset together!) Regardless of the approaches that I hold value in, I ultimately believe in supporting the needs of each client and creating a plan that is unique and suited to you and your goals.
My hope for working with you is to provide you with an anti-oppressive, non-judgemental, and empathic therapeutic space while working as a collaborative team. I often stress that you are the expert in your own life and experiences, and I am simply the one who helps guide you further along in your journey of self-discovery.
I recognize and admire the vulnerability and strength that it can take to reach out for support. I’m here with you and am privileged to witness and be a part of the meaningful change you can create along the journey.

Hello and welcome! My name is Rebecca Daoust and I am a Registered Psychotherapist. My passion for working with others originated in my volunteer experience in autism services which later led me to a career in autism services with children for five years, where my passion for working with individuals on the spectrum and children grew even stronger.
Being a therapist is one of the favourites of the many hats that I wear, but I also hold value in being a daughter, sister and auntie. I am also a furry auntie to two dogs and a mom to two guinea pigs. You will come to know me as a lover of all animals…so please never hesitate to pull open pictures of your own fur babies in our sessions! When I’m not in sessions, I spend most of my free time reading books (strictly psychological thrillers), camping, and doing yoga with friends. I truly believe in the power of authenticity, and I hope that we both can show up in session, just as we are.
