Psychotherapy and Breathwork in Essex

I loved working with Hayley. I felt very understood by and safe with her, including feeling able to share spiritually as part of my breathwork sessions. She stayed with my process all the way through, with deep care and sensitivity.

The breathwork benefited me by understanding much more of what had been hindering me, the nuances of my experience, and seeing into new ways of being, right into soul level as well as human experience.

Thank you.

This is by no means the full story, but I think it gives a reasonable account of my feelings about breathwork:

Following a period of one-to-one counselling with Hayley, she thought that breathwork might be beneficial to me, and she was correct.

Through the course of these sessions, I have made significant progress in the improvement of my overall well-being. Twenty years of counselling and therapy had brought me much insight into my own motivations and an understanding of how I had got to my state of mind, and yet nothing I had attempted seemed to escape the general mood of self-sabotage which accompanied my condition.

The beauty of breathwork is that it comes into play before thought, putting me a step ahead of the negative feelings that have haunted my life. Hayley has gently nudged me into an exploration of feelings that I had been oblivious to, always giving me the sense that I was in control and able to steer myself where I feel I need to go. I am beginning to feel that I am no longer a victim of my emotions and am in fact motivated to make positive changes in my life.

A concrete example: I have addressed my bad eating habits and curtailed my abuse of alcohol; since beginning the sessions I have lost over a stone in weight.

I leave the sessions full of energy, with the feeling that I am floating on a cloud.

I just wanted to say thank you for Sunday.

I came along not really knowing what to expect, or what I hoped from the session, but I was pretty open to explore.

I wasn’t expecting the emotional vomit! But that’s exactly what it was. Love the expression you used!

I said wow! afterwards and that’s the best way to describe how I felt, I walked away feeling so much lighter and I hadn’t even realised that I’d been heavy.

I felt amazing and free. Definitely want to come again. Haven’t stopped thinking and taking about it.

Thank you so much.

It has been very helpful to have someone to talk through some very difficult and complex issues I’ve been going through, but also to be reminded and encouraged at the same time. To be kind and gentle towards myself during this process of healing. Especially when difficult emotions come up. I appreciate the support and compassionate understanding from Hayley that allowed me time to figure out how to move forwards in my life at this point, and I’m very grateful to have had found her service.

I wish when I was a teenager dealing with "my stuff" I had a "Hayley" and knew about breathwork and how it would help with my undiagnosed ADHD/PTSD. It has been a game changer for me now so thank you Hayley!

Hayley has had such a positive impact on my life, through her therapy work with me she has given me the space and support to process some difficult emotions, she has encouraged me to be open and embodied. Hayley has helped me to move on from coping mechanisms that no longer serve me. I can’t recommend her enough.

I can highly recommend Hayley - she has been working with my daughter for over a year. My daughter is autistic and highly anxious. She was in a very bad place and needed professional help. She took to Hayley on the first session, and I am thrilled to say she is in a much better place!! Thank you, Hayley. - LR (Chelmsford)

I have been seeing Hayley to help with my mental health. She is nice and kind and is a great listener. She makes me laugh and helps me to understand how I’m feeling, then gives me advice. - AR (Chelmsford)
