About me

Helping people move from overwhelmed to empowered.

Life can feel exhausting when anxiety, OCD, overthinking, low confidence or ADHD leave you feeling stuck. Therapy doesn’t have to be about simply talking—it can be about understanding what’s keeping you trapped and learning practical ways to move forward.

I’m Haylee Ford, an Accredited BACP Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I specialise in supporting adults, children and young people experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, confidence difficulties, ADHD/AuDHD, emotional overwhelm and trauma.

I combine evidence-based approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, and Clinical Hypnotherapy to create a personalised approach that meets your individual needs. Whether you’re struggling with panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, burnout, people-pleasing, low mood or feeling like you’ve lost yourself, we’ll work together to help you regain confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My qualifications include a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, and a Higher Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Alongside my private practice, I also work with clients referred through Bupa and Vitality, as well as supporting clients through schools and GP practices across Monmouthshire.

My particular interests include anxiety disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD and AuDHD, depression, low self-esteem, confidence difficulties, stress, burnout, trauma, and children’s and young people’s emotional wellbeing.

Above all, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply feel overwhelmed by life, my aim is to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, build lasting confidence and create meaningful, long-term change.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means my training, ethical standards and clinical practice have been independently assessed and recognised at a higher level. I am committed to regular supervision, ongoing CPD and reflective practice to ensure my work remains safe, effective and up to date.

My core training is a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, which provided a solid grounding in person‑centred and integrative counselling skills, ethical practice, assessment and clinical work with a wide range of presentations. Alongside this, I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, giving me a strong understanding of psychological theory, development, cognition, behaviour and mental health research, which I integrate into my clinical work where helpful.

I also have a Higher Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy which allows me, where appropriate, to incorporate hypnotherapy into therapy for issues such as anxiety, phobias, habits, confidence and mind–body responses. This training covered safe induction techniques, working with the subconscious, and tailoring hypnotherapeutic interventions to individual clients and presentations.

In terms of therapeutic approaches, I’ve undertaken additional training in:

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – including working with anxiety, low mood, self‑esteem, perfectionism and unhelpful thinking patterns.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – supporting clients to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while moving towards their values.
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD– a gold‑standard, evidence‑based approach for treating OCD, intrusive thoughts, rituals and compulsions.
- Working with neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) – including understanding sensory needs, executive function challenges, masking, burnout and identity.
- Trauma‑informed practice – supporting clients with histories of trauma, emotional neglect, complex relational patterns and narcissistic abuse.
