About Hayley
Hayley Mayer is an ACA counsellor with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for people who want clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Hayley focuses on building practical coping skills and on goals that feel real and doable.
Her approach is conversational and person-centred. Hayley listens first, then tailors conversations and strategies to each person’s needs. She aims to make therapy an ordinary, helpful part of life rather than something mysterious or distant.
Background and approach
Hayley works with concerns such as relationships, self-esteem, motivation and major life changes. She also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, workplace strain, social anxiety, and issues that can come up in young adulthood or midlife. She draws on approaches that help people notice what matters to them, explore their attachments, and build practical ways forward.
Sessions include gentle reflection, values-based goals, and coaching-style prompts to boost motivation and action. Hayley invites people to take small steps toward a more fulfilling life. She supports clients who want to repair trust, find life purpose, cope with end-of-life worries, or work on self-love and forgiveness.
Conversations are paced to match each person’s readiness and priorities.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward what matters. It helps when anxiety or stuckness gets in the way of everyday living. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns, which can help with trust, jealousy and intimacy struggles. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions, offering a non-judgemental space to talk through issues and find one’s own answers.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Hayley will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they will try things, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text can suit quick check-ins, coaching prompts or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
