Welcome to Hayes Online Counselling

A space for reflection, healing, and real change — wherever you are.

Hi and welcome. I’m Brett Hayes, and I want to personally thank you for stopping by.

Hayes Online Counselling was created to offer meaningful support to people who are ready to explore life’s challenges — no matter where they live, or what they’re going through. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with relationships, navigating anger or anxiety, or working through past trauma, you’re not alone. This is a safe and respectful space to talk things through at your own pace.

With over two decades of experience in counselling, mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and men’s behaviour change work, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to each session. My practice is trauma-informed, client-centred, and focused on real-world strategies that work.

At Hayes Online Counselling, you can expect:

• A non-judgmental space where you're met with respect

• Support that is tailored to your needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach

• Help to understand emotions, build better coping strategies, and reconnect with who you want to be

• Convenient online sessions from the comfort and privacy of your home

Whether you’ve worked with a counsellor before or this is your first step, know that change starts by simply reaching out. It’s okay to not have all the answers. Together, we can explore what matters most to you and builds toward the life you want to live — with more clarity, self-understanding, and direction.

If you're ready to begin or just curious about what working together might look like, feel free to get in touch. I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

Take care, Brett HayesDip. Couns | Adv. Dip MH | ACA Registered Counsellor Hayes Online Counselling
