About me
Hello, I'm Hayley a Psychotherapeutic counsellor :)
I am a Post graduate trained therapist and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am an AXA, aviva and vitality affiliated online psychotherapist
I have both personal and professional experience of neurodivergence and trauma.
I can help with many issues, Anxiety,Depression,Trauma,ADHD,Autism,Low self-esteem,Family issues,Low self-confidence.
Within the rush of modern daily life our emotional health is often neglected and this can begin to impact on our wellbeing. I would like to offer you a safe space to sit and talk through whatever may be weighing heavy on your shoulders. I believe that what helps people, is the experience of being able to process feelings, emotions and memories with someone who is warm and empathic, and can gently offer insight.
I want you to feel safe and seen within the counselling relationship with me. It is not every day we share the most painful parts of ourselves with another person, and feel as though they truly understand, what it might have be like for us to go through a certain experience or feeling. I do find it helps people to gently reflect on their early lives, where they feel comfortable. I am also interested in exploring the deeper meaning of life with clients if that is something they wish to bring to therapy.
I believe that developing a compassionate way of relating to ourselves and our experiences is incredibly important, this will be reflected in our work together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
