PERINATAL TRAUMA SPECIALIST AND PSYCHOTHERAPIST
My name is Tracy Law and founder of Birth Trauma Resolution Brighton.
With 35 years of professional experience as a midwife and now as a qualified Human Givens Psychotherapist, I specialise in helping people recover from perinatal trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions, and other emotional or mental health struggles.
My work began with supporting parents through birth trauma, but has naturally expanded to include anyone seeking recovery from distress or overwhelm.
​
My approach combines Human Givens principles, which focus on restoring emotional balance and meeting our own innate human needs, with gentle, neuroscience - based trauma resolution techniques. This holistic, solution focused method is both effective and gentle - helping you move forward feeling calmer, more confident, and emotionally well.
​
Each session is calm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. You’ll have space to talk about what’s been happening and what you’d like to change, at a pace that feels right for you.
Together, we will -
-
Explore what’s affecting your emotional wellbeing.
-
Use gentle relaxation and guided imagery to calm your mind and body.
-
Learn simple, practical tools to ease anxiety and restore balance.
-
Where appropriate, work safely to release the emotional charge from difficult memories, so they no longer cause distress.
You’ll leave with a greater sense of calm and clarity — and often with personalised resources or relaxation recordings to support you between sessions.
WHAT IS THE HUMAN GIVENS APPROACH?
The Human Givens approacgh is a a practical, evidence - based form of psychotherapy that focuses on what every person needs to live a mentally health, fulfilling life.
​
It helps people identify which of their emotional needs aren’t being met and uses a range of proven techniques — such as guided imagery, cognitive reframing, and relaxation — to restore balance quickly and gently.
This approach is highly effective for a wide range of difficulties, including:
-
Trauma and PTSD
-
Anxiety and panic attacks
-
Depression and low mood
-
Phobias and fears
-
Addictions and habits
-
Stress and overwhelm
-
Sleep problems and burnout
The aim is to help you feel better quickly and develop the emotional resources to stay well in the future.

WHAT IS BIRTH TRAUMA?
​
Trauma is a normal response to an abnormal event.
Birth trauma can occur when a person feels overwhelmed, powerless, or in danger during pregnancy, birth, or the first year after giving birth. Sometimes it’s not the event itself, but how someone was made to feel or what was said, that causes trauma.
Research shows that around 30,000 women in the UK each year experience birth trauma. Instead of the joyful start to parenting they expected, they may be left feeling vulnerable, anxious, or distressed.
​
RECOGNISING THE SIGNS
​
A traumatic birth can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or postnatal anxiety. It can also affect birth partners or healthcare professionals who witnessed the trauma (known as vicarious trauma).
Common symptoms include:
-
Re-experiencing the trauma (flashbacks, nightmares)
-
Avoidance of reminders
-
Low mood, guilt, or anger
-
Hypervigilance or intrusive thoughts about safety
-
Feeling detached or emotionally numb
If you recognise these experiences, please know: you are not to blame and you are not alone.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I’m deeply grateful to the clients who’ve shared their experiences of Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy and Human Givens Psychotherapy. Their words offer a glimpse into what recovery, renewed calm, and emotional wellbeing can feel like.
It’s always a privilege to walk alongside someone as they begin to feel lighter, calmer, and more themselves again.
I couldn’t think about the birth of my son without feeling physically in pain with stress and anxiety. I couldn’t speak about the birth without breaking down. I couldn’t feel any joy and really wasn’t enjoying being a mama.
The sessions have completely transformed how I feel about the birth, I can now look back on it as the day I met my son, and the day my life changed for the better, because I became a Mummy. I am living life free from a constant state of stress and I can finally breathe in peace and relax into motherhood journey. What happened, wasn’t my fault.
My primary objective was to improve my approach to interviews, having not undertaken one for many years. I was initially struggling with recall, experiencing significant nervousness, and was highly concerned about underperforming. The guidance and techniques you provided were highly effective; I was able to implement many of them, leading to a much more positive experience – I even found myself enjoying the last interview!

Tracy really listened to my situation and worries and understood very well how it felt for me.
Her manner put me at ease instantly.
The approach was great, I feel instant benefit from the guided relaxation/visualisation in the session
and I have never had a therapist follow up each session with notes and recordings before...that added a
lot of value and I felt calmer between sessions knowing I had those resources to use.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tracy to anyone as she is just lovely, intuitive and so diligent in her
work
' I was anxious having to admit something was wrong but Tracy put me at ease and filled me with confidence that my life could return to normality once again. I was all consumed by my birth trauma - it affected my sleep and I failed to find enjoyment in life. Within two sessions, it has honestly changed my life and I feel like myself again. I am ever glad I took the plunge to email Tracy and ask for help"

"My pregnancy, birth and after birth were so traumatic, it was really hard to make it through each day. I was hypervigilant with my son and that put tremendous strain on my relationship. I was struggling to make sense of what happened to me on a conscious and unconscious level. Just having someone listen and being heard was so powerful. I would recommend this service 100%"
"I don't know where I'd be today if I hadn't had this treatment. I suffered from depression, anxiety and was self destructive and constantly reliving my wife's birth trauma. Tracy gave me a safe place to share honestly what I was going through, and it has helped me move on and progress, from feeling as though everything was collapsing, to finding freedom and peace"
