Hayley Tomkinson

Do you feel anxious, lost or overwhelmed? 

I'm Hayley and I'm a person-centred therapist based in York and online.

I specialise in supporting women who feel anxious, self-critical or disconnected from their true selves, sometimes due to trauma. 

I can help you get to the root of what's holding you back or causing you distress.​ I can help you connect with your true self, process your emotions and find your way forward.​ I can help you develop self awareness, self compassion, clarity and confidence.

I offer therapy that's as much about the heart as the mind. Often that's where the healing needs to happen. I won't tell you how to feel, I'll accept you exactly as you are. I won't tell you what to think, I'll help you get clarity. I won't tell you want to do, I'll help you find your way.

I know that starting therapy can be daunting.​ My clients say I put them at ease. I'm calm, patient and down to earth. I genuinely care and I see the best in people. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel accepted, understood and safe to share anything. ​​

I hope that through our sessions you'll gain more self-awareness, heal from negative experiences and be able to make choices in your life that create more peace and happiness.

​I also believe in the power of psychoeducation and I have done additional training & qualifications in trauma, breathwork, bibliotherapy and somatic therapy. I'm always happy to share insights and tools in our sessions, if you want them.

I know how important it is to find the right therapist, and I offer a free 15 minute phone call so you can see how you feel with me. We'll talk about what you'd like to get from therapy, and I can answer any questions you have about how I work.

If you decide you'd like to start therapy with me, we'll arrange our first session.

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes and can be weekly or bi-weekly.
