About Hayley
Hayley Wilcock is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and a wide range of other concerns including blended family issues. Hayley describes herself as an integrative counsellor working from a person-centred core.
Hayley offers straightforward, practical conversations. She uses different approaches to suit each person rather than one fixed method. Sessions are about noticing what matters now and finding small, realistic steps forward. She also shares psychoeducation and coping strategies where they help.
Her background includes particular interest in the past, bereavement and trauma. Hayley also works with neurodiversity and identifies as someone with ADHD, which informs her understanding of related challenges. That experience shapes how she talks about routine, focus and sensory differences with clients.
In sessions she aims to be honest and direct while staying non-judgemental. People can expect a down-to-earth style that focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and relationships. Hayley also helps with topics such as parenting strain, intimacy concerns, grief and career stress.
If you are in a blended household and finding roles, routines or loyalties difficult to navigate, she can talk through those specific pressures. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to set goals and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when loyalty conflicts, trust or communication feel stuck in a stepfamily. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention skills to lower reactivity and ease overwhelm in busy household routines.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what fits the person's needs and day-to-day life. This means plans can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or irregular days. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and different ways of working such as exercises or breathing practices between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt the approach so sessions slot into everyday life.
