Shelley Sayle-Udall

Hi! I’m Shelley - a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario who support parents, children, teens, couples and families navigating life’s most difficult emotional challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with parenting stress, feeling stuck in old patterns, or seeking deeper connection within your relationships, you deserve a safe, compassionate space where you can feel truly seen, understood and supported. Many of my clients come to therapy because they: • feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by everyday life • are struggling in relationships or parenting roles • want relief from trauma, grief, loss, or depression • feel like they’ve hit a plateau in personal growth • want to strengthen family bonds and improve communication • want support for kids’ mental health and behavioural challenges Your goals might include feeling more resilient, reducing stress, improving your emotional awareness, or building the relationships you long for - and that’s where I can help most. I blend evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, family systems work, solution-focused strategies, and psychoeducation to help you understand not just what you’re feeling, but why - including the role your nervous system, stress responses, and mind–body connection play in your mental health. My approach is rooted in warmth, curiosity, and collaboration. I meet you where you are, honoring your experience, your pace, and your unique journey. Together, we’ll identify practical tools and insights that support lasting change - not just quick fixes - so you can build confidence, calm your nervous system, and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and your loved ones. Therapy with me is more than talking - it’s a journey toward resilience, understanding, and deeper connection. You’re not alone in this. When you’re ready, I’ll walk with you — with empathy, clarity, and real-world support so you can live a more peaceful, empowered life. Let’s take the first step together.
