Hayley Mcgregor, BACP

Hayley Mcgregor is a qualified integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who tailors her practice to meet each person’s individual needs. As an integrative therapist she draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches to shape a personalised path toward better mental and emotional wellbeing. Hayley holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, patient style to her work.

She offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings of anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, and other emotional challenges. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting, anger, career worries, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, along with additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness, and body image difficulties.

Hayley emphasises compassion, empathy, and respect, meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels right. Whether someone is dealing with recent loss, longstanding patterns from childhood, or the stress of daily life, she aims to help people reconnect with their inner strengths and build practical ways to cope and grow. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals, creating room for understanding, healing, and positive change.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Hayley draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, helping clients address issues like abandonment, trust, and relationship difficulties by focusing on emotional bonds and safety. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and support that helps people build self-awareness and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her practice, providing structured ways to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that fuel anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hayley works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the approach over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Hayley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to fit sessions around work, care responsibilities, or mobility limits while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
