Background and approach
She draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. Sessions are conversational and practical, with time spent exploring unhelpful patterns and trying small changes. People also come to Hayley for help with sleep problems, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions.
She also addresses issues such as addictions, anger, intimacy and body image concerns. When relevant, she works with topics like attachment, commitment worries and blended family tensions. Her style is straightforward and calm.
She offers a space to reflect, try new coping skills and plan next steps. The focus is on what will help the person feel more able to manage day-to-day life. Hayley provides therapy in English and accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Online approaches that fit your life
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach suits those who need a steady, non-directive space to talk through worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes. It is practical and goal-focused, often used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and can support stress reduction and better emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hayley will discuss options and work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work feels relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and helps fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit those with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or have a shorter, written check-in when that is more practical. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different schedules and time zones.
