About DYLC
Founding Story
Thirty years ago I started noticing a pattern
The people who came to me had tried everything. The insight was there. The self-awareness was there. What was missing was a framework for turning that understanding into a different life. The Design Your Life Centre exists because of that gap.
In all my years of practice I have sat with people through chronic pain, serious illness, infertility, loss, the seasons that rearrange a life. The thing I learned to look for first is resilience, the capacity a person has to move past survival and come out more themselves on the other side of what they are carrying. The work has always been about finding that capacity and giving it somewhere to go.
About Us
Our mission
The mission of the Design Your Life Centre is to help people fulfill their life's purpose, which we believe is to be their authentic selves. We help people understand the early life patterns that no longer serve them, so they can consciously create new ones that do.
Practice philosophy
What Sets Us Apart
The Design Your Life Centre is organized around a methodology, so the care you receive is consistent no matter what clinicians you work with. Dr. Stacy’s clinical work is informed by a practice that integrates mind, body and spirit.
The Inside-Out Way is the framework every clinician here works within. I discovered it more than I invented it: thirty years of paying attention to what actually helps people change.
The patterns that limit a life were learned early, and they can be unlearned. That belief is the spine of who everyone here works, and it is bigger than any one clinician. It is why the Centre will keep growing beyond me.
I am a Clinical Health Psychologist with close to thirty years of practice. My clinical work draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, mental skills for high performance, mindfulness and clinical hypnosis, always reaching for the pattern underneath so a person can finally set it down.
