Juliette Hayden, BACP

Juliette Hayden is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. She trained as a nurse in 1993 and later completed a BSc (Hons) Degree in Therapeutic Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works from the United Kingdom.

Juliette draws on a broad background in health and social care to support people facing distressing life events. She has volunteered for services helping people affected by sexual trauma, domestic abuse and terminal illness, and has lived experience as a parent of autistic children. These experiences shape how she understands practical pressures and everyday worries.

Her work focuses on thoughts and everyday habits alongside emotional issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people managing chronic pain or long-term illness, carers of autistic children, and those coping with relationship breakdown or bereavement. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes that make daily life easier.

In sessions Juliette aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through feelings and practical problems. She uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. The emphasis is on understanding patterns of thought and habit, and finding techniques that fit real life.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She helps set realistic goals, explores what gets in the way, and practices ways to change routines or thinking that maintain problems. The work is steady and practical, aimed at gradually building more confidence and control.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Juliette commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice the ways they connect and pull away from others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and routines, and practising small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She treats finding the right approach as a shared task. Early sessions are used to understand goals, daily routines and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made and circumstances change.

For practicalities, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can help fit therapy around busy days, for example by removing travel time or making it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, so quieter telephone sessions or different arrangements may be discussed depending on current options. Online sessions aim to support steady, workable changes that translate into everyday life.
