About Hayley

Hayley Wilcock is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which identifies her as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She creates an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely, and she recognises the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Working from an integrative, person-centered foundation, she draws on a range of therapeutic skills and approaches that are tailored to each person's needs. Hayley values honesty, loyalty, and empathy, and she brings a grounded, down-to-earth attitude to sessions, supporting clients with warmth and practical guidance. Her approach is informed by strong family values while remaining open-minded and respectful of individual differences.

Hayley has particular experience with trauma, bereavement, and neurodiversity, and she welcomes both diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodivergent clients. As someone with ADHD herself, she offers lived-experience insight alongside professional support, providing coping strategies, psychoeducation, and practical tools. She works across a broad range of concerns - from anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties to grief, addiction, and parenting challenges - tailoring therapy to each client's goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Hayley combines evidence-informed approaches to meet each client's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current emotional responses - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages gentle present-moment awareness and self-compassion, supporting clients who are coping with stress, rumination, or burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Hayley works collaboratively with people to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and flexibility. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can arrange support around work, caregiving, or other commitments and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Registered professionals can provide meaningful therapeutic work via these channels, making it easier for people to engage with therapy from their own environments.
