Hayley Davies Educational and Developmental Psychologist

Hayley is an Educational and Developmental Psychologist who is passionate about providing safe and compassionate spaces for parents and children to find pathways towards positive development and learning in home and school contexts. She brings a strengths-based approach to supporting children and young people in developing a positive sense of self, sense of belonging and confidence.

As a wife and a mum of two, she is passionate about parenting with particular interest in the early years. Recognising that much of child behavior and subsequent learning and development is grounded within connection and relationships, she draws from attachment and relational theories to support parents in building secure, safe relationships with their children, and supports parents with finding clarity and confidence to tackle the many challenges that may arise in parenting.

She is trained in the Circle of Security program and currently undertaking further training in perinatal and infant mental health to provide attachment based support and intervention in the early years of parenthood and infant development.

Special focus on:
