About Hayley
Hayley Blacker is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She welcomes clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Hayley also supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. The room is practical and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes might help day to day.
Hayley draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred work that follows each person’s priorities and emotionally focused approaches to support deeper connection to feelings. Somatic and psychodynamic elements may be brought in to understand how the body and past experiences influence current reactions.
People often come for help with codependency, intimacy issues, communication problems, or coping after loss. Others seek support for parenting strain, ADHD-related difficulties, or challenges linked to chronic illness and caregiving. Hayley aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and build steadier routines.
Getting started involves a simple sign-up and short matching questionnaire. From there clients schedule sessions according to availability and can use a cancellable subscription model for ongoing work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions; this helps when someone wants to understand repeating patterns in closeness and trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering a listening space that follows what matters most right now. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and sit with strong emotions, often improving how they manage conflict and connection.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your worries and goals, then suggest which methods might suit you best. That plan can change as you try things and notice what helps most in your daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to focus on bodily sensations or pacing in somatic work, or to continue regular sessions during life transitions.
