About me
Hi, I am Hayley Allaway, an experienced Holistic and integrative therapist, working with adults and couples. I am also a supervisor-in-training and fit to practice (please see the separate section on what I offer as a supervisor).
I will meet with you human to human in a space where you can be you! The deep healing work I have undertaken in my own personal healing journey, allows me to hold all parts of your experiences and vulnerabilities with true compassion. I truly believe that it is possible to heal from our deepest wounds to reclaim our power back to live a more empowered, peaceful, joyful and fulfilled life.
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 childhood attachment, Trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, including abuse (physical, sexual, psychological, religious) affecting both men and woman. Research shows how Trauma and energy can get stuck in the body (Gabor Mate, Peter Levine, Bessel Van der Kolk) and so I draw on Polyvagal Theory, Breathwork and my lived experience to work with somatic and body memories to release Trauma.
It is often said that, “We are wounded in relationship and we are healed in relationship”. I will work with you to help unpack 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.
I welcome you getting in touch.

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.
