About Hayley

Hayley Edwards is a counsellor working from a relational, systemic viewpoint. She describes systemic work as focusing on connections between people - patterns, communication and the impact of relationships. Hayley mainly uses a person-centred approach and blends other techniques when they suit a client's needs.

She keeps sessions non-judgemental and aims to create a calm place to talk about painful or embarrassing topics. Hayley draws on her professional training and personal experience to listen sensitively and offer practical responses.

Background and approach

She is comfortable talking about grief, depression, anxiety and trauma-related issues. Hayley has worked with people facing addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures and challenges linked to identity, including LGBT concerns. She also supports those coping with major life changes, career strain, low self-esteem and anger.

Her approach is conversational and grounded in everyday life. Hayley practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is committed to ongoing learning and regularly takes further training to refine her work.

In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change and how to get there. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with practical ideas offered alongside space to reflect. Hayley emphasises collaboration and helps people notice patterns that affect their wellbeing.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Hayley commonly works from a person-centred standpoint, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard, understood and supported to make their own choices. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns.

She also uses a systemic or relational perspective. That means looking at patterns of communication and interaction that affect a person’s wellbeing. It can help when relationship patterns, family roles or ongoing conflicts are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that could help. Decisions about technique are made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caring or other daily commitments, while keeping continuity of care across time and place.
