Scott Downey

Scott has been a Registered Psychologist since 1991. He recently retired from the Janeway Child Health Center (August 31, 2022) in St. John’s Newfoundland after 32 years of service.

During the past 32 years he also worked in private practice providing individual counselling (anxiety, depression, chronic pain management, and CBT for PTSD for Workplace NL, paramedics, police officers, veterans and other front line workers).  His goal is to help individuals to take their life in the direction they want to go and be the person they want to be.

He is also an avid runner, running 8 to 10 mile per day. He believes that in order to be mentally tough you first have to be physically tough, and that mental toughness is the key to maximizing your success in sport and in life.
