About Hayley

Hayley Wilcock is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years' professional experience in the United Kingdom. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and make sense of what is happening for them. Hayley encourages small first steps and acknowledges the courage it takes to start therapy.

Her approach is integrative, built on a person-centred core and shaped to each person's needs. That means sessions focus on the individual's priorities, while drawing on different methods when helpful.

Background and approach

She often uses trauma-focused work when past events affect day-to-day life. Hayley describes herself as loyal, honest, and empathetic. She aims to be straightforward and down-to-earth in sessions, helping people develop practical coping skills and clearer ways of thinking.

She values family and strives to be open-minded with every person she meets. Neurodiversity is a particular interest for her. As someone with ADHD, Hayley offers understanding around attention differences and provides psychoeducation and strategies that fit that experience.

She supports people whether they have a formal diagnosis or are still exploring what neurodiversity means for them. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes.

Sessions are shaped to the person, with a focus on building self-understanding and practical steps forward.

Ways of working Hayley names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Hayley works online with trauma and attachment

Hayley commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people look at how past harm affects present life. This approach focuses on understanding triggers, reducing overwhelming reactions, and building new ways to cope with memories and feelings.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships. That work looks at how early bonds shape expectations and helps people try different ways of relating in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will discuss goals, preferences, and how past experiences affect current difficulties, and then agree a plan that may mix approaches. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for in-depth conversations; phone calls can work when someone prefers not to be on camera or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between calls, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
