Kevin Hayman, BACP

Kevin Hayman moved into person-centred counselling after a career in business, seeking work that felt more meaningful and rewarding. He works with people of different ages and ethnicities, supporting them to grow, develop, and gain a clearer understanding of themselves. Kevin offers empathy and unconditional positive regard, creating a respectful environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

He believes the person who knows you best is you, and that sometimes a little help is needed to bring that self-knowledge into view. Kevin holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects adherence to recognised professional standards for counsellors in the United Kingdom. His practice emphasises listening, acceptance, and collaboration to help clients notice patterns, deepen self-awareness, and move toward the changes they want to make.

Person-Centred and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Therapy

Kevin draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on offering empathy, acceptance, and a non-directive space where clients lead the conversation. This approach helps people who want to explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and make decisions at their own pace. He also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional balance - helpful for stress, anxiety, and improving everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kevin will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the pace and techniques as therapy progresses so that the process feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Kevin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules, while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and accessible for them.
