About Juliette
Juliette Hayden is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 15 years of professional experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem and depression among other concerns.
Juliette trained first as a nurse and later completed a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling. She has experience in health settings and in voluntary roles supporting people affected by sexual trauma, domestic abuse and terminal illness. She also has personal experience as a parent of autistic children and describes a focus on supporting carers in that situation.
Her approach blends several counselling methods so sessions can respond to what a person brings. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at connection and patterns in close relationships. She uses client‑centred ways of working to listen and follow what is important to the person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where useful to look at thoughts and practical steps.
Juliette has a particular interest in issues linked to chronic pain and long‑term illness. She links bodily experience with emotional responses and offers practical coping strategies for day‑to‑day life. She also supports people facing relationship breakdown, parenting pressures, bereavement and the effects of trauma.
People who contact her can expect short, clear sessions that focus on current problems and on small, manageable changes. She invites clients to agree goals and ways of working together and reviews progress as therapy continues.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Juliette uses attachment‑based work to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current feelings. This can help when problems recur in close relationships or when trust and closeness are difficult.She also uses client‑centred methods that place the person’s concerns at the heart of each session. That means she listens and follows what matters most, helping someone make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juliette will discuss the options with each person and agree how to proceed based on their needs and goals. She views this as a collaborative process and checks in on progress as therapy continues.
