About Hayley
Hayley Mcgregor offers a calm and steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She introduces herself simply and listens first. Hayley aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to help people feel less alone with difficult feelings.
She uses a mix of counselling approaches and adapts them to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to handle day-to-day challenges alongside time to understand deeper patterns.
Background and approach
Hayley pays attention to feelings, relationships and how past experiences can affect the present. Her practice includes support for grief, difficulties with self-esteem, coping with illness or chronic pain, and addiction concerns. She also works with relationship worries, parenting stress, career issues and compassion fatigue.
Other areas she addresses include ADHD, attachment issues, body image and communication problems. Hayley is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and carries that practical experience into online and phone sessions.
In the therapy room she aims to be patient, respectful and non-judgemental. Sessions move at a pace set by the person attending, and the focus is on useful steps people can take between meetings. The overall goal is clearer thinking, better coping and more confidence in handling life’s ups and downs.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgement. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and working through grief or low mood by following what matters most to the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will discuss options and tailor sessions to the person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in without audio, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or flexible timing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and to keep contact consistent when life is busy.
