Naomi Haggarty
Student Therapist
Hi, I’m Naomi, a student therapist completing my practicum at Rebound Total Health. For over a decade, I have dedicated my career to putting the human in Human Resources, supporting frontline responders, nurses, educators, and other helping professionals. Along the way, I realized the most meaningful part of my work was never the policies or processes, it was the people. I have always valued genuine connection and being someone others can turn to. Wanting to offer more than my role allowed ultimately led me to counselling. It feels like a natural evolution of the work I have always loved, and a profession that more deeply aligns with my values, my purpose, and the difference I hope to make.
My goal is to help you explore yourself with curiosity and self-compassion while deepening your connection to your emotions and body!
We can connect virtually or in person
Whether you’re near or far, I can help you bounce back. We can meet in-person in a calming, quiet environment in our newly renovated office space in Dundas, Ontario. We can also meet conveniently online or via telephone, giving you more flexibility to choose a time and place that works for you and your busy schedule.
If you’re ready to start, book a free consultation with me below.

Working with me
Life will inevitably come with challenges, moments of growth, and plenty of ups and downs. Learning to navigate it all is arguably one of the most beautiful parts of being human. I believe meaningful counselling begins with genuine connection, and my goal is to approach our work with kindness, curiosity, intention, and grace. I hope you leave our sessions feeling heard, understood, supported, and a little more equipped for whatever comes next.
Worth mentioning
As clients decide who they want to work with for counselling, there’s lots to take into consideration! Here are some additional perks you should know of!
You can show up exactly as you are. There is no expectation to have the right words or all the answers. This is a space for mistakes, messy feelings, bad days, learning as you go, and simply being a work in progress. Wherever you are in the process, you’ll always be met with kindness and grace.
Your time matters, and I want our time together to matter too. I approach our sessions with purpose and intention, while remaining attuned to what you need in the moment. Whether we are processing, exploring, learning, or working toward change, our time together will always be centred around what feels most meaningful to you.
Life can be challenging, and therapy can be that space to set down some of the weight you’ve been carrying. While the heavy stuff deserves to be acknowledged, it doesn’t have to take up all the room. I believe there is just as much value in recognizing moments of hope, progress, and joy along the way, ensuring there is always room for laughter, lightness, and simply being human.
What does a session with me look like?
You can expect our sessions to feel conversational, collaborative, and attuned to what you need that day. Together, we may explore your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns, while identifying what is working, what may be getting in your way, and where you would like to see change. I recognize that one size does not fit all, so you won’t have to shrink yourself to fit within a particular therapeutic approach. Instead, we will work together to find the approaches, tools, and strategies that best support you in moving toward what matters most and towards a version of yourself that feels most like you.

My Approach
My approach to counselling is integrative, collaborative, and grounded in genuine human connection. Your experiences, needs, and story are uniquely yours, and I believe your experience in counselling should be too. I draw from different therapeutic approaches, allowing us to explore what resonates with you and what may be most helpful as our work evolves. Together, we can explore what has shaped you, deepen your understanding of where you are today, and identify meaningful ways forward that help you reconnect with who you are, rebound from what you’ve been through, and move toward the life you want to create.
Person-Centred Therapy
Sometimes what we need most is the opportunity to fully be ourselves and feel genuinely understood. Person-Centred Therapy helps create the foundation for that connection, where you can explore what you are carrying at your own pace and know that you will be met with empathy, kindness, and grace.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT can help you make room for difficult thoughts and feelings without allowing them to decide what comes next. We can explore what truly matters to you and find meaningful ways to keep moving toward the life you want, even when things feel uncomfortable or uncertain.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Sometimes the way we think, feel, and respond can keep us caught in patterns that are no longer working for us. With CBT, we can get curious about those patterns, understand how they may be affecting you, and develop practical tools to help you respond in ways that feel more helpful and aligned with where you want to go.
Narrative Therapy
We all carry stories about who we are, but sometimes those stories become shaped by difficult experiences, expectations, or messages we have picked up along the way. Narrative Therapy gives us an opportunity to explore those stories, recognize that you are so much more than the challenges you have faced, and make room for a story that feels more reflective of who you are today.
