About Tracy Law
I am the founder of Birth Trauma Resolution Brighton and I am a full-time Human Givens Psychotherapist offering brief, solution-focused therapy.
At some point in life, most of us face emotional challenges.
You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, phobias, PTSD, overwhelm, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.
Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to manage it alone.
​
In our work together, you can explore what’s really affecting you — including anxiety, low mood, trauma responses, overwhelm, relationship or parenting difficulties — in a calm, supportive space.
You can learn simple, practical ways to meet your emotional needs
more effectively, helping you feel clearer, more balanced, and more confident.
Many people feel empowered from the first session and supported to take steps, small or significant, that create meaningful change.
As a Human Givens Psychotherapist, I offer:
-
a focused, time-limited approach to help you move forward
-
clear, practical tools you can use in everyday life
-
a respectful, non-judgemental space where hope and possibility are central
I work with you to understand what’s happening for you now, gain clarity about what needs to change, and take steady, compassionate steps towards feeling more balanced and in control again.
My area of specialism is in perinatal trauma — supporting you if you have been affected by a difficult or traumatic birth, pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, and early parenting experiences.
With 35 years experience in the NHS as a Midwife I bring a deep understanding of trauma and its impact on the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self.
My practice is online and face to face, and I work with adults across the UK and internationally. Sessions take place via Zoom, with phone or FaceTime available if preferred. Appointments are often available within the next week.
WHAT IS THE HUMAN GIVENS APPROACH?
Human Givens (HG) counselling is practical, science-based and focussed wholly on what individuals need to live mentally healthy and personally fulfilling lives. As a therapeutic approach, it’s becoming increasingly well known in the UK and overseas for achieving fast, effective and long-lasting outcomes – with most clients getting the results they want in an average of 4-6 sessions.
​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.
CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
​Most people will experience changes from the very first session, and have what they feel they need overall in an average of 4-6 sessions … although some people require only one or two sessions to achieve their required results. Some people with more complex difficulties may require more.
My intention is always to work with you to achieve the outcomes you want in as short a time frame as possible – and then for you to move on with the tools and knowledge to deal proactively with future challenges.
Recovery is entirely possible with the right support.
In a calm, supportive space you’ll be listened to, validated, and guided through a gentle, evidence-based process for healing.
Take the first step today — you don’t have to continue feeling this way.
OPENING HOURS
Sessions are available Monday to Thursday - 9.00am – 5.00pm.

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"
