About me
Hello! I am a Registered member of the BACP and an Accredited member of the NCPS (Acc.)
As humans we have complex needs and we all face difficult challenges in life, which can feel overwhelming at times. I work with people from all walks of life, various ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations, as well as people with religious/spiritual faith and those with none.
I have a special interest and experience in helping clients with Trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, including abuse (physical, sexual, psychological, religious) affecting both men and woman.
I offer a Holistic and integrative approach to help unpick the various threads that are causing you distress. This may include exploring the conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche and any barriers to healing.
At Freedom Counselling you are supported with compassion in a way that will help you feel seen, heard and validated. You can give yourself 'permission' to share whatever is on your mind in a confidential space, free from judgement from friends, family and society.
Please get in touch with Hayley at Freedom Counselling, to start your healing journey today.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Further information
I regularly attend courses to increase my counselling knowledge and skills. Having continuing professional development (CPD), is a requirement from the ethical bodies (BACP / NCPS) whom I am registered with. This means I am able to offer clients up to date information and a professional service.
