About me
Struggling with anxiety, sleep, grief, or relationship issues? Feeling depressed or living with a mental health condition? Struggling to cope or make sense of things?
Hi I’m Hayley, I’m a MBACP registered Integrative Counsellor that offers a warm, non judgmental space where you can feel truly heard. A safe space where we can explore the thoughts, feelings, memories or experiences you choose to bring, gently and at your own pace.
Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. I can help you explore what’s going on and find a way forward that feels right for you. Book a free introductory call with me where we can talk things through.
You might be feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges or facing a period of change. Perhaps you’re struggling with sleep difficulties like insomnia, nightmares or night terrors, or you feel curious to explore the meaning of your dreams.
Maybe you’re trying to cope with the pain of a break-up, navigating relationship issues, or working through the grief of losing a loved one. You may be recovering from trauma or living with a mental health diagnosis that impacts your daily life. Or perhaps you simply want space to reflect, grow, or reconnect with yourself.
Whatever you’re carrying, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. My therapeutic approach is relational, non-judgemental and grounded in empathy. We’ll work collaboratively, supporting you to find understanding, clarity, and wellbeing.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Broxbourne, as well as online and telephone counselling so whether you prefer the comfort of your own space or an in-person setting, we can work in a way that suits you.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I use a range of therapeutic approaches tailoring these to your needs, each offering something unique:
- Person-Centred Therapy: A safe space to be truly heard.
This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance and deep listening. It can help you reconnect with who you are, build confidence, and feel more grounded in yourself.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Recognising unhelpful patterns and regain control.
CBT helps you notice the thoughts and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck, anxious or low. Together, we can find practical ways to challenge and change those patterns.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: Understand how the past influences the present.
This approach explores how early relationships and past experiences may be shaping your current emotional world, often in ways you may not realise, giving space for insight and healing.
- Existential Therapy: Explore life’s deeper questions.
This approach invites reflection on meaning, freedom, identity, responsibility and purpose. It’s particularly helpful during times of transition, loss, or when you’re feeling directionless or disconnected from life.
- Dream Work & Sleep-Focused Therapy:
Exploring your dreams can provide powerful insight into your unconscious world. Whether you struggle with nightmares, night terrors, or disrupted sleep, we can work together to uncover what your mind might be trying to express or resolve. Improving your sleep can often bring relief to other areas of your wellbeing too.

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.
