About me
Welcome to my directory!
People come to counselling and psychotherapy for all sorts of reasons and It takes courage to take the first step, so well done in getting this far! It can feel overwhelming, especially trying to navigate where to begin or even which therapist to choose!
Here’s What I Offer
I help Individuals and Couples who are struggling with their relationships and their mental health. I offer an integrative and holistic approach, using various tools, which can be tailored to help each client.
I regularly help with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss. I also help clients who have experienced trauma and abuse (physical, psychological, religious) including survivors of sexual abuse and rape, affecting both men and women.
At Freedom Counselling you are supported in a way that will help you feel seen, heard and validated. The parts of you that may feel guilt, shame, anger or embarrassment are also 'welcomed' in order to heal. 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
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

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.
