About me
My name is Hayley, and I provide a professional, integrative therapeutic service for individuals navigating some of the most challenging seasons of their lives. Having transitioned from a career in NHS Primary Care to private practice, I bring a disciplined, clinical foundation to my work, underpinned by over 800 hours of clinical experience.
My Experience
My background includes significant work at the Latton Bush mental health site, where I provided low-cost, accessible counselling for individuals presenting with highly complex trauma. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how grief and anxiety can intersect, and how anger often acts as a protective layer over profound pain and loss.
I also have experience supporting individuals affected by:
- domestic abuse
- historical sexual violence
- traumatic bereavement
- imprisonment
- gang violence
- veteran-related experiences, including the Falklands and Northern Ireland conflicts
- infant loss
- involuntary childlessness
- empty nest syndrome
- menopause
My Approach
I draw on multiple psychological frameworks to suit your specific needs, experiences, and goals. My work is always tailored, thoughtful, and grounded in creating a safe and steady therapeutic relationship.
I provide a non-judgmental, confidential space where you can begin to process grief, trauma, anxiety, anger, and other complex emotional experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Alongside deeper therapeutic work, I also offer grounding techniques and practical tools to help regulate immediate distress and support longer-term healing.
