Peter Hayton

Psychologist

Peter Hayton has been a practising psychologist for over 25 years, working extensively in health and leadership positions across a number of private practices, businesses and organistations.  Including clinical businesses, church, charity, school, and para church organisations.

His personal experience, unassuming and non-judgemental nature places him in a strong position to provide effective treatments to patients from a variety of sexual identity, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

Along with general psychology, Peter has spent recent time working in the addictions and dependency area.  Most significantly the AOD support services Peter was involved in increased when pioneering a charity based program in North Brisbane working with disadvantaged young people and vulnerable adults.

After the 10 years working in the charity sector Peter moved to join the founding team at The Banyans in 2016, a residential program in the Samford Valley, then in 2021 additional outpatient services in Bowen Hills.  Peter worked as a co-founder and Clinical Director of The Banyans for 8 years.

Most recently Peter’s AOD work continues with outpatient services for individual patients as well as consulting with centres providing AOD treatment programs across a variety of patient cohorts. Peter’s current consultancy work is in the area of AOD and Mental Health treatment program design, quality and safety, and associated accreditations.
