About Hayley

Hayley Edwards is a counsellor who focuses on relationships and the patterns that shape them. She uses a person-centred way of working, and pays attention to how people relate to each other. Hayley aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about painful or personal issues and begin to move forward.

Hayley frames difficulties as part of a wider relational picture. She looks at communication, recurring patterns and the changes someone wants to make.

Background and approach

This perspective helps when stress, anxiety or relationship tension feel overwhelming. Her work also addresses depression, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse. Hayley mentions supporting people with parenting, eating concerns, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger and career challenges.

ADHD and bipolar are included among areas she recognises in her caseload. Hayley has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She continues to update her practice through further training and learning.

Her approach combines attentive listening with practical conversation about next steps. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Hayley works in the United Kingdom and carries out therapy in English.

To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match people and then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's calendar.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Her main approach is person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping someone find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want an accepting space to talk and to build confidence in their own choices.

She also uses a systemic or relational perspective that looks at how patterns and communication affect a person's life. That approach helps when difficulties involve interactions with partners, family or other important people and when someone wants to change recurring behaviours.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify what feels most helpful, trying different ways of working if needed to match goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family or other commitments.
