About Hayley
Hayley Wilcock is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' professional experience. She works with adults on common and complex problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Hayley also supports people with neurodiversity and related challenges including ADHD and autism. Sessions are presented in a straightforward, down-to-earth way that encourages honest conversation.
Hayley describes herself as an integrative counsellor with a person-centred core. This means she mixes approaches to suit the person in front of her rather than following a single method. In practical terms that looks like talking through recent problems, looking at how past experiences shape current reactions, and learning small tools to manage strong feelings such as anger or overwhelm.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and somatic methods are used where noticing the body and present-moment experience helps reduce tension. Psychodynamic thinking is available when clients want to look deeper at early influences on current life.
Hayley says her lived experience of ADHD informs her work with neurodiverse clients. She offers clear psychoeducation, practical coping strategies, and help with organisation and self-regulation. People who prefer plain language and direct feedback tend to find this approach useful.
To begin, users follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session. Hayley works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom. If you want to discuss anger, stress, or related difficulties, she focuses on practical steps alongside reflective exploration.
How sessions work
Working online with practical therapeutic approaches
Hayley commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns still affect current reactions to stress and anger. Attachment-based work helps people see repeating interaction habits and learn different ways of relating when strong feelings arise.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thinking and behaviour in the present. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will treat your needs, goals and preferences as part of a collaborative process and help decide which methods to try first. That might mean a short skills focus or a deeper look at past experiences depending on what you want to achieve.
