Hal Hughes does not do surface level therapy. He is here for people looking to create real change in their lives. Change requires action – and Hal is an expert in leveraging people’s values, emotions, and goals, in a way that helps his clients do different in their lives. The only way we heal and grow, is by doing different.

A Registered Psychotherapist and leader in resiliency training, Hal brings real life experience into each session with the client. He has faced his own serious adversities in his previous roles as a correctional officer and police constable, and believes that growth and healing is best offered by someone who has done their own inner work as well.

He believes that truth is the foundation for change, and he will not shy away from helping his clients get to some of those truths that are hidden in the dark. His therapeutic approach centers around progress and solution focused strategies to create movement forward for the client.

Hal has become a leader in the field of overcoming trauma and adversity, and has presented in workshops and as a speaker to large audiences at conferences, on podcasts, and with workshops for government agencies and the private sector

He practices what he encourages others to do. No fluff. Beyond theory. Real change.

Expect:

• To be supported, but also challenged to move forward.

• Solution-focused work that measures change by progress, not talk.

• Humour and playfulness – because like life, therapy can be both tears and laughter.

• That anything difficult Hal encourages you to do, he is already doing himself.

Things she believes in:

• Self-acceptance and self-compassion are the foundation of lasting change.

• Peace isn’t the absence of conflict — it’s the ability to thrive despite it.

• Every person has the inner strength to turn life’s challenges into personal growth.

• Motivation often follows action — sometimes doing the hard things first helps inspiration catch up.

• Gratitude isn’t the result of being happy — it’s the practice that creates joy.

He understands the weight carried by those who serve, the quiet burdens tucked behind professionalism, and the resilience required to keep showing up when the world feels heavy. After a long career in public service, Greg brings a lived awareness of the pressures, moral injuries, and unspoken expectations faced by frontline and public‑sector personnel. He knows the culture, the demands, and the toll, and he offers a non‑judgmental, confidential space where you don’t have to explain the basics before you can begin to heal.

Greg’s approach is grounded, steady, and deeply human. Drawing on his background, he weaves together insight, context, and compassion. He helps clients make sense of their stories, understand the patterns that shape them, and reconnect with the inner strength that adversity often obscures.

Guided by trauma‑informed and strength‑based principles, Greg supports individuals navigating stress, burnout, identity shifts, grief, and the complex emotional landscapes that accompany service‑oriented careers. His work is especially attuned to first responders, public servants, and those who carry responsibility quietly and continuously.

At the heart of Greg’s practice is a simple belief:

We can’t always control what life brings, but we can learn to meet it with clarity, courage, and compassion.

He helps clients cultivate that inner steadiness, not through pressure or perfectionism, but through small, sustainable, holistic practices that honour the mind, body, and spirit and restore a sense of agency.

Expect:

• Honest, grounded conversations where you feel respected, understood, and never judged

• Practical strategies for managing stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm

• Support in reclaiming your strengths, values, and sense of meaning and purpose

• Mind–body grounding practices that help you reconnect with calm and clarity

• A pace that honours your nervous system, no urgency, no pressure, just steady progress

This is where his work is rooted:

• In the idea that healing grows from quiet attention

• In the understanding that real recovery begins when we stop carrying everything alone and allow ourselves to be supported

• In the recognition that healing becomes possible when we stop measuring ourselves by how much we can endure and start honouring what we feel
