About me
Hello, I'm Hayley, a qualified therapeutic counsellor offering short-term and long-term counselling, both online and in person.
I have experience working within mental health services and private practice, supporting people with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD, trauma, relationship difficulties, bereavement, low self-esteem, work-related stress, addiction and significant life changes.
Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, anxious or unsure how to move forward. Reaching out for support is often the first step towards meaningful change. I offer a warm, safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. Together, we can make sense of what is happening in your life, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and explore ways to move forward with greater confidence and self-awareness.
I work relationally, meaning I strive to build a genuine therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust and understanding. Together, we can explore the parts of yourself that may feel hidden behind the roles, expectations or coping strategies you have developed over time.
I offer sessions tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Where appropriate, I may invite you to work creatively through metaphor, journalling or creative writing. I also draw on techniques from different therapeutic approaches, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Transactional Analysis, to provide support that best meets your individual needs.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working within the care sector. This experience strengthened my passion for helping people improve their wellbeing, build resilience and create meaningful change.
I am an Accredited Registrant of the NCPS and a Registered Member of the BACP. I work within their ethical frameworks, which underpin and guide my practice.
Whether you are experiencing a specific difficulty or simply feel that something in your life is not quite right, you do not have to face it alone.
Taking the first step to contact a counsellor can feel daunting, but it can also be life-changing.
I aim to reply to emails within 24 hours. Please note that replies occasionally end up in spam folders. If you have not heard from me, please do not hesitate to get in touch again. My email address is hayley.tc@outlook.com.

Member organisations
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.
