About Hayley
Counsellor and member of BACP with five years' experience, Hayley Wilcock offers short- and longer-term support for a wide range of difficulties. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief and intimacy issues among the areas she works with. Hayley also notes particular interest in neurodiversity and bereavement work.
Hayley describes her practice as integrative, using a person-centred core alongside other methods. She adapts what she does to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed method. Sessions focus on talking through immediate concerns and finding practical ways to cope day to day.
She has a particular focus on attachment, trauma and past experiences. That can mean looking at how earlier relationships influence current patterns. Hayley also offers psychoeducation and practical strategies for people with ADHD, drawing on her own lived experience of neurodiversity.
Her approach combines a range of methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, psychodynamic thinking and somatic work. Those tools are used to help people notice patterns, manage distress, and build simple routines that reduce stress.
Hayley works in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential listed above. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. People who want a frank, practical style that still addresses deeper issues may find her way of working helpful.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at relationships and patterns from earlier life and how they affect current connections. It helps when a person wants to understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and to try different responses.Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sessions using CBT-style techniques often teach simple exercises to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with stress, sleep issues and grounding after upsetting events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will discuss what fits best, based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to make that decision together rather than imposing a single method.
The profile does not state specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote counselling fits better around work or family life, saves travel time and makes it easier to keep regular sessions. Other benefits can include shorter check-ins when needed or options that do not require being on camera.
