About Hayley
Hayley Wilcock is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' professional experience and BACP registration. She offers a warm, down-to-earth approach that aims to make the first steps into counselling feel manageable. Hayley values honesty and loyalty and encourages people to bring their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
Hayley works integratively with a person-centred core, tailoring methods to each person's needs. She focuses on past experiences, trauma and bereavement, and supports people who identify as neurodiverse, including those with ADHD. She also helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, codependency, addiction, grief, and changes in life circumstances.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. Hayley offers coping skills, psychoeducation, and space to talk through painful memories and patterns. She draws on attachment-based ideas and somatic awareness alongside cognitive and reflective techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Hayley describes herself as empathetic and non-judgemental, and she uses her own experience of neurodiversity to inform her work. She aims to help people build routines, reduce overwhelm, and develop clearer boundaries in daily life.

How Hayley’s approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and early bonds. In practice this means paying attention to how people connect, pull away, or expect others to respond, and using that understanding to try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioural changes, and build routines that reduce worry and overwhelm.
Mindfulness-infused work helps people notice bodily sensations and present-moment experience without judgement. This can be useful for managing anxiety, emotional flooding after trauma, and day-to-day stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress or new issues arise.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people appreciate online counselling because it can fit into busy lives, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Other practical benefits include having shorter check-ins when time is limited, choosing audio-only if video is difficult, and scheduling sessions around work or caregiving commitments.
