About Hayley
Hayley Wilcock is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She creates a welcoming space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings. Hayley acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step feel understood.
Her approach is integrative and person-centred at heart. She adapts methods to suit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and grounded, focusing on what matters most to the individual. Hayley has a particular interest in trauma, bereavement, and neurodiversity. She draws on her own experience of ADHD to offer practical coping strategies and clear psychoeducation.
That lived perspective informs how she tailors support for attention and sensory differences. In the room she combines talking therapy with techniques that help people notice bodily reactions and patterns from the past. This can include looking at attachment patterns, thinking habits, and how stress shows up in the body.
The aim is to build tools people can use between sessions. Hayley also offers help around anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction, grief, and life changes. She works with emotional difficulties such as low self-esteem, anger, and intimacy concerns.
Practical aims might include improving communication, managing mood shifts, or developing routines that support better sleep and daily functioning.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns that interfere with daily life.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to pay attention to the present moment with less judgement. It can reduce rumination, improve sleep, and make stress easier to manage by building short daily habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape a therapy pathway that can change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions or audio-only chats can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions, and easier use around busy schedules. These options make it simpler to keep progress moving without major disruption to daily life.
