About Hayley

Hayley Wilcock works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and a wide range of other concerns using an integrative, person-centred approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Hayley describes her practice as down-to-earth and practical. She uses a mix of counselling skills and several therapeutic approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and thoughts, building coping strategies, and offering clear information about neurodiversity when relevant.

She names trauma, bereavement and neurodiversity as particular focuses. As someone with ADHD, Hayley says she finds it valuable to work with neurodivergent clients and to share psychoeducation and practical approaches for everyday life. This includes support with attention, routine, and organisation where people want it.

Her work also covers attachment-related issues and relationship concerns, along with self-esteem, intimacy, addictions, grief and career worries. Hayley mentions both short-term goals and longer work, depending on what the client wants to focus on.

Hayley combines techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and somatic and psychodynamic ways of thinking. In sessions she aims to be honest and straightforward while remaining non-judgemental. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.

How Hayley uses online approaches and therapeutic methods

Hayley draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work can help people understand trust, boundaries and connection issues in relationships.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise different ways of responding. CBT-style work is often used for anxiety, stress and mood-related concerns where practical steps and behavioural experiments are useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will discuss the options with each person and agree a plan based on their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments by reducing travel time and allowing easier scheduling. They may also make it simpler to arrange shorter check-ins or to avoid being on camera if that suits the client better.
