You were born to be real, not perfect. 

Terry Hayden

My name is Terry Hayden and I'm a registered psychologist, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Life Coach.

I have a BSc Honours Degree in Psychology, a Masters Degree (MSc) in Applied Psychology - (British Psychological Society approved). an approved Counselling diploma, a CBT Diploma, as well as many CPD sessions in related areas.

I have spent many years in the arts and creative industries, and understand the importance of the role of arts in mental health, I often use my creative experience in counselling sessions to aid the individual.

Helping people feel better about themselves is something I feel very passionate about. To have helped somebody accept who they really are, and learn to like or even love themselves is a very special thing to me.

When somebody is able to allow things to flow and be connected the world becomes a better place.... 

Experience

Experience counts for a lot, and I have plenty. I spent many years in the corporate world, and gained a good understanding of work/life balance. 
Being in the helping profession I do my best to be as up to date on the latest techniques and keep abreast of the latest developments and research, I am constantly updating and re-training to ensure I offer you the best possible service.

I have ensured that all my training and qualifications are relevant, and up to date.

Testimonial

I felt instantly at ease with Terry, he seems to have a knack of making people relax, and his own peace and confidence spills out over others. Within a couple of sessions we were already working towards my goals, I cannot thank him enough for his understanding and empathy.
