About Hayley
Hayley Mcgregor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people feeling stressed, anxious, low or overwhelmed. She offers a steady, calm presence and works at a pace that feels manageable for each person. Hayley holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as a professional credential in her profile.
Her approach is integrative, drawing on several methods so sessions can be tailored to what the individual needs most. That might mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours one week and attachment patterns the next.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, with clear steps people can try between meetings. Hayley spends time listening to a person’s story and what they want to change. She helps people make sense of painful experiences such as grief, low self-esteem, or chronic stress.
She also supports those dealing with anger, relationship struggles, addiction issues, and life transitions. Over three years of practice, Hayley has worked with a broad range of concerns including ADHD, trauma-related difficulties, body image and long-term health challenges. She emphasises compassion, patience and respect in the room so people can feel heard and start to build strategies for daily life.
Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where the focus is on gradual progress. The work is collaborative - goals are shaped together and reviewed as therapy continues.
How Hayley’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger anxiety or difficulty trusting others, and supports learning new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and can be useful when someone needs space to make sense of grief, stress or big changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It offers clear strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build small habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through different methods and decide together what fits best for the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress unfolds. Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit people with limited bandwidth, and messaging or chat can work well for brief check-ins or when a written record helps reflection. These options give flexibility so people can pick what works best for them.Questions people ask
