Hayley Moran
Supportive counsellor for stress and life change
About Hayley
Hayley Moran is a BACP counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She helps with parenting concerns, grief, trauma and addiction. Hayley also works with people dealing with career questions, self‑esteem and life changes including divorce and midlife transitions.
Hayley uses plain conversation to help clients make sense of difficult feelings. She listens, asks practical questions and helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions are tailored so people can focus on what matters most to them right now.
Background and approach
Her background includes six years of direct clinical work alongside more than two decades in higher education student support. That mix means she is used to helping adults and young people think about study, work and life pressures. She has also worked in school and NHS‑linked services providing counselling and cognitive behavioural approaches.
Hayley draws on client‑centred methods, cognitive behavioural work and solution‑focused techniques. She adapts these to each person’s needs, for example using practical exercises for sleep or mood, and short goal‑focused plans for coping with change. People come to Hayley to talk through worrying thoughts, manage low mood, or find steadier ways to cope with stress.
She aims to help clients gain clarity, build self‑awareness and take small steps towards change. Her approach is straightforward, supportive and focused on what will help next.

Approaches and online support for practical change
Hayley uses client‑centred counselling to follow what matters most to the person in the room, offering attentive listening and reflection to help build self‑understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical exercises to improve mood, sleep or anxiety. Solution‑focused therapy emphasises small, realistic steps and clear goals to move forward from a stuck place.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences, so the method can be adjusted as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video suits fuller conversations, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for short check‑ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, study or family commitments and make it simpler to keep continuity of care.
