About Hayley
Hayley Clayton uses an approach that blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and trauma-focused work to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. She speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps and understanding how past experiences shape current feelings. Hayley is credentialed as NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Hayley helps people with issues linked to sexuality and identity, and with trauma or abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with grief, loss, or the strain of parenting. Other areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and tailor conversations to each person’s needs.
That might mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, looking at early relationships that still cause pain, or using focused trauma work to reduce distress. The plan is practical and grounded in the client’s goals. Hayley also works with career worries, ADHD-related struggles, and feelings of isolation, guilt or shame.
She encourages small changes that can add up over time and helps people practice new ways of responding to old problems. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from the United Kingdom. Hayley makes space for honest talking and for building steady steps forward.
She supports people through change and toward clearer, more manageable ways of living.

Approaches Hayley lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they shape a plan that can include practical CBT exercises, deeper psychodynamic reflection, or targeted trauma processing depending on need.
Online sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, family and daily life.
