About Hayley

Hayley Wilcock is a UK-credentialed counsellor with five years of professional experience and registration with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers an integrative practice built around a person-centered core, tailoring counselling skills and therapeutic approaches to the individual needs of each client.

Hayley aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can take courage and she values supporting people through that first step. Colleagues and clients can expect a direct yet empathetic style grounded in honesty, loyalty, and a practical orientation toward progress.

Her practice embraces a wide range of complex concerns, with particular focus on working with past experiences, trauma, bereavement, and neurodiversity. Drawing on her own experience of living with ADHD, Hayley offers informed support, coping strategies, and psychoeducation for neurodivergent clients, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. She brings family-focused values, an open-minded outlook, and a commitment to helping clients build resilience and find meaningful change in their lives.

Approaches for online therapy and personalised support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating. It explores attachment styles and helps people understand and improve relationship dynamics, separation concerns, and issues such as abandonment or attachment difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It supports people working with anxiety, depression, unhelpful thinking habits, and coping with life changes by developing clearer thinking and new coping strategies.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience. It can help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support people who want to build calmer responses to difficult feelings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Hayley collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to suit each person. Registered professionals and therapists often combine approaches to meet individual circumstances.

Online therapy with Hayley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied access needs. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, work, or while travelling, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
