Background and approach

She has experience supporting people with trauma and mood disorders, including bipolar and seasonal affective disorder. Hayley uses person-centred conversations to help someone feel heard and to explore what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes.

Solution-focused methods are brought in to set small, achievable goals when that fits the situation. Her background includes university counselling roles and work in school, college and NHS-linked services. That mix means she has experience with common problems faced by students, staff and adults in community settings.

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is listed as a credential (BACP). Sessions aim to build clarity, awareness and a practical plan for next steps. Hayley adapts the mix of approaches to each person and their goals.

She presents therapy as a collaborative process, paced to what the individual needs right now.

Therapy approaches and online options

Hayley commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person identify what matters most to them; it can help with low mood, self-esteem and relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change patterns that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and notice small steps that move things forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then try methods that match the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or when someone prefers typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
