About Hayley
Hayley uses a person-centred way of working, which means she follows the person’s lead and offers empathic support. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions can include practical exercises, journaling or creative tasks when these feel helpful.
Her background includes five years working in mental health and the care sector. During that time she supported people with depression, trauma, addiction, confidence issues and loss. She has experience with both short-term and longer-term counselling and aims to match the approach to each person’s needs.
Hayley is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS. Her work is clinically supervised and insured. She offers online or telephone sessions and tries to make sessions fit around everyday life so people can keep therapy manageable.
To start, she asks people to share what they hope to change and then they set simple, realistic steps together. Her focus is on helping people make sense of their feelings and find workable ways to move forward.
How Hayley’s approaches translate to online therapy
Hayley combines person-centred work with attachment ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, warmth and helping people make their own sense of events. It helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current trust, closeness and jealousy, and can be useful for people wanting to understand relational patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Hayley will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods as the work progresses. Together she and the client agree on practical steps and simple tasks between sessions to build momentum.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from familiar surroundings. Hayley offers online and telephone sessions; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can support ongoing conversation, check-ins and practical exercises such as journaling or mindfulness practice, and it can be arranged to suit typical daily routines without needing extra travel time.
