Hayley Day, BACP

Hayley Day (BACP) specialises in supporting neurodivergent individuals - including those with Autism, ADHD and related conditions - and parent-carers of disabled or autistic young people. Drawing on her own experience as a parent-carer, she offers practical understanding of the challenges families face, from navigating assessments and education systems to coping with isolation and ongoing stress.

Hayley provides compassionate, non-judgmental support designed to help people manage anxiety, reduce burnout and move forward when they feel stuck. Her work focuses on building resilience, clarifying goals and strengthening everyday coping skills so clients can make meaningful changes at their own pace. She uses a person-centred approach to empower people to find solutions that fit their lives.

Clients who are seeking a calm space to explore difficult emotions or to work through transitions will find Hayley responsive and attentive to individual needs. She combines warmth and practical guidance to support parents, carers and neurodivergent adults as they address stress, low mood, self-esteem concerns and other life challenges. Hayley holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a recognised professional body in the United Kingdom.

Client-Centred Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy is at the heart of Hayley Day's practice. This approach focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects understanding and support. It helps people explore emotions, build self-awareness and find their own solutions for issues such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Hayley also adapts the person-centred approach for work with parent-carers and neurodivergent clients, tailoring sessions to the specific rhythms and communication needs of families and individuals. That flexible, client-led stance supports those managing caregiver stress, autism or ADHD related challenges by honouring each person’s priorities and pace.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Hayley works collaboratively to identify what fits a client's needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options together and adjusts the way she works as trust and clarity develop.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or complex lives - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible access to registered professionals without the need to travel. This variety makes it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work and other commitments while maintaining ongoing therapeutic support.
