About Hayley
Hayley has worked in mental health for over ten years and holds the HCPC registration. She supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and those managing the effects of autism spectrum conditions. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that maintain problems and finding alternatives that fit each person’s life.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. CBT helps with identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns. ACT offers ways to accept difficult feelings while building a meaningful life. Psychodynamic ideas look at past experiences that shape current responses.
In practical terms Hayley helps clients spot unhelpful routines, try new behaviours, and build skills for communication and emotion regulation. She pays attention to attachment and interpersonal dynamics when relationship worries come up. Work may include behavioural experiments, values-based goals, and reflective conversation about personal history.
Sessions aim to be respectful and sensitive, with plans tailored to each person’s needs. People who want to start are invited to consider what matters most to them and to take small steps toward change with supportive guidance from Hayley.

How Hayley’s approaches translate to online therapy
Hayley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas to guide her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviours to reduce symptoms. It is useful for anxiety, panic, OCD-type worries, low mood and many everyday problems. ACT emphasises living by your values while learning to accept difficult feelings, which can help with stress, chronic worry and life transitions. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships shape present patterns and can illuminate repeating difficulties in relationships and self-image.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will choose methods and tasks that fit the person’s life and aims, and review progress as they go.
