About Hayley

Hayley Cook offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She meets each person where they are and helps them untangle patterns that get in the way of daily life. Hayley aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space so people can talk things through at a pace that feels manageable.

Hayley trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice.

Background and approach

Her main interest is psychodynamic work, which looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape current thoughts and feelings. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when practical steps or short-term goals will help. In sessions she listens for repeating patterns and moments that feel important to a person’s story.

Conversations often lead to clearer ideas about how to change unhelpful habits and manage difficult feelings. Hayley balances exploring deeper causes with giving simple tools for coping day to day. People come with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, body image and parenting pressures.

Hayley pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment and codependency that can make relationships painful or confusing. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session that suits their schedule.

How Hayley works online and what to expect

Hayley commonly uses psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape present feelings and patterns; it can help when repeating hurts or hidden motives make life feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety or low mood in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hayley discusses goals and preferences at the start and adapts methods collaboratively so sessions feel useful. She combines deeper reflection with short-term strategies when that fits what someone wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversation with visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is lower, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
