Meet Hayley Irving Law

Born and raised in Yorkshire, I bring a work style that's honest and straightforward. You can expect warmth, acceptance, and genuine care as a fundamental part of my approach.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma happens to everyone to some extent. It is a very personal experience, and not everyone reacts to it in the same way. Many people do not realise they have had a traumatic experience because most believe “a trauma” can only be called a trauma if it is BIG.

EMDR Trauma Therapy

EMDR is a psychological treatment that uses eye movements (and other bilateral stimulation) to process disturbing memories that cause distorted and distressing thinking or feelings of anxiety.

Support for Survivors of
Sexual Trauma

Sexual violence is defined as any sexual act that is perpetrated against someone’s will. This includes any act in which a person is coerced and manipulated into any unwanted sexual activity, including when they are unable to consent due to age, illness, disability, or the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

I have over 37 years of supporting clients through a range of physical and psychological difficulties. I have experience and expertise in working with clients who have experienced trauma and who also have PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). I have previously, and continue, to work extensively with adults who have experienced any kind of sexual abuse. This includes childhood sexual abuse, incest, intimate partner sexual violence, rape, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and sexual assault of men and boys.

I work holistically, considering the whole person, not just their mental health needs. This means factors contributing to how you feel, including physical illness, social issues, and spirituality. I offer a wide range of styles and techniques because I firmly believe that therapy should mould around you, the client, and not vice versa.

I will provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore the next steps in your life and how we can undertake them together. Whatever your difficulty, I will offer you a safe and open space to work through it together.
