Hayley Blacker, BACP

Hayley Blacker is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and navigate relationship and trauma-related difficulties. Hayley aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive.

Hayley creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name and make sense of their experiences. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual.

Her work includes helping with depression, addictions, and issues linked to intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting strain, chronic health challenges, career stress, and life transitions. Hayley has experience with themes such as attachment, abandonment, and neurodiversity concerns including autism and attention differences.

Hayley uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships, body-based awareness, and understanding past patterns. In practice this means she helps people notice how emotions show up in the body, how past relationships shape current ones, and how small changes can reduce daily pressure. People leave sessions with clearer steps to try between meetings.

She works in English and is available to people both inside the UK and internationally. To begin, clients use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Hayley’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. Online sessions can help people spot patterns in how they connect with others and practise new ways of responding.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on naming and feeling emotions to change how people relate. In remote sessions this often means the counsellor helps you slow down, notice bodily responses, and try regulated emotional conversations that can be taken into daily life.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows your lead, offers empathic listening, and helps you find your own solutions. That collaborative stance translates well to online conversations where tone and pacing matter.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hayley will work with each person to identify which methods seem most helpful, and she adjusts ideas based on the person's goals and preferences. Decisions about emphasis and pace are made together.

The practical benefits of online therapy include greater ease fitting sessions around work or caring commitments, and the ability to meet from different locations if travel would be difficult. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. The focus remains on helping people apply what they learn in sessions to everyday life.
