About Hayley

Hayley Wilcock is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and a wide range of other concerns listed on her profile. Hayley describes herself as an integrative counsellor who uses a person-centred core to guide sessions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural and somatic techniques to help people notice patterns, manage strong feelings, and try out new ways of relating. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person - there is time to talk about what happened and time to practise different responses.

Hayley has a particular interest in neurodiversity and in supporting people with ADHD, whether diagnosed or not. She also works with grief, bereavement and trauma from the past, and with issues such as intimacy, self-esteem and communication problems.

She says she brings honesty, loyalty and an open mind to her work, and that her own experience with ADHD informs how she supports clients. Practical coping strategies, psychoeducation, and exploring attachment patterns are part of how she helps people manage daily life and relationships.

If someone wants to get started they follow the site process to match and book a first session. Hayley practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

How Hayley uses therapeutic approaches online

Hayley commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This helps when people notice repeated patterns in friendships or close relationships and want clearer ways of relating.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behaviour changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and confidence work because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will discuss different methods, listen to your goals and preferences, and agree a plan that feels manageable. That collaborative decision can be reviewed as you go.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how a meeting will be held. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time and keep check-ins shorter when needed. Ask about the formats offered to pick what best suits your routine and attention needs.
