About Hayley
Counsellor Hayley Moran is a BACP member with six years of clinical contact working with clients. She has a long background in higher education student support and in counselling roles within universities, schools and an NHS-linked service. Hayley works with adults and young people and offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and other difficulties listed below.
She uses client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, spotting patterns in thinking and behaviour, and trying practical steps that can make everyday life easier. Hayley aims to help people gain clarity and self-awareness so they can find their own way forward.
Her experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, attachment and blended family issues, and problems that affect mood such as bipolar and seasonal affective disorder. She also lists workplace issues, caregiver stress, midlife concerns and challenges around self-esteem.
Hayley has experience working with neurodiversity, emotionally based school avoidance, and parenting support through her roles in educational settings. Her work with young people and university staff has informed how she shapes sessions to suit different life stages.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Hayley listens, reflects and offers CBT tools and brief solution-focused tasks when these fit the persons goals. People who prefer an exploratory, person-centred way of talking can also follow that route with her.
Hayley practises in the United Kingdom. If you want to start, check the platform steps for matching and booking before arranging a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Hayley uses client-centred work that focuses on the persons own concerns and builds from what they bring. This approach offers space to talk freely and to clarify thoughts and feelings.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques which look at how thoughts and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Solution-focused work is brief and goal-orientated. It is useful when someone wants small, manageable changes and clear next steps rather than a long series of deep sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hayley will discuss what feels most useful for the persons aims and try different methods if needed. The focus is on matching methods to goals and preferences rather than fitting someone to a single style.
Check the session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins. Talk with Hayley about what would fit your routine so you can plan sessions that work with your daily life.
