About Hayley

Hayley Clayton is a counsellor who uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions. She holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Hayley aims to meet people where they are and adapts her approach to individual needs.

She works with concerns linked to trauma and abuse and helps people process grief and loss. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related worries.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work around parenting challenges and LGBT matters. Hayley listens with sensitivity and respect. Conversations are shaped to match what each person needs rather than following a fixed script.

She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Those feeling isolated, overwhelmed by guilt or shame, or struggling with self-love can find a space to reflect and build new coping skills. She also addresses work and career stress, compassion fatigue and aspects of living with ADHD in day-to-day life.

Hayley encourages small, manageable changes and helps people set clear goals. She views therapy as a collaborative process and supports people through difficult transitions. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.

Approaches that suit online therapy and trauma work

Hayley uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and their emotional impact. This approach focuses on understanding how past harm shows up now and on building ways to manage strong feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas help people spot recurring patterns and the ways early experiences influence current relationships and feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first based on needs and goals. Sessions can shift over time if one way of working feels less helpful, and plans are revisited as progress is made.

Online therapy with Hayley can happen by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins and flexible support through the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
