About Hayley

Hayley Blacker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Hayley aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive.

Hayley works to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful thoughts and strong feelings. She listens carefully and helps people name what is happening for them.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and patient, paced to what each person needs. In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred principles to follow the person’s priorities and emotionally-focused methods to help people understand and shift painful patterns in close relationships.

Hayley pays attention to how the body holds stress and emotion and will bring somatic techniques into sessions when they help. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to trace patterns that began earlier in life and still affect day-to-day choices. People come to Hayley for many issues, including addiction, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, career stress, self-esteem and communication problems.

She accepts clients from outside the UK and runs sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Hayley is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and reactions. It helps people understand why certain relationship patterns feel familiar and what can be changed to feel safer and more connected. Client-centred therapy places the person’s voice at the centre of the work. The counsellor follows what matters most to the person and offers empathic listening to help them find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hayley will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration can change over time as different issues come up or progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on changing patterns and improving wellbeing.
