Background and approach
Hayley combines listening with clear suggestions drawn from several counselling methods. Hayley works with a wide range of concerns including grief, self-esteem, addiction, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also supports people facing relationship and parenting strains, chronic health challenges, and issues such as body image or communication problems.
The emphasis is on making sense of what’s happening now and finding manageable ways forward. In the room she focuses on building trust and exploring attachment patterns that shape relationships. Cognitive and skills-based tools are used alongside emotion-focused conversations to help people regulate intense feelings.
This mix allows practical coping alongside deeper personal understanding. Hayley has three years of professional experience. People who value steady, empathetic listening combined with clear, applicable strategies may find her approach helpful.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps people notice recurring dynamics in their close relationships and learn new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation, offering empathic listening and acceptance so people can find their own answers at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and change behaviour in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as the client notices what helps most.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections and when someone prefers written communication. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily life.
