About Hayley
Hayley Wilcock is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who are worried or unsure. Hayley creates a warm, open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Her practice is integrative, built around a person-centred core. That means she draws on several ways of working and adapts them to fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, not full of jargon, with a focus on what helps in daily life. Hayley has a particular interest in trauma, bereavement and issues rooted in the past. She also supports people exploring neurodiversity and offers psychoeducation and coping strategies for those with ADHD because she has lived experience of it herself.
Her background helps her understand the challenges of concentration, routine and overwhelm. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about feelings, thoughts and behaviour. Hayley uses tools from approaches such as mindfulness, somatic work and cognitive methods when they suit the client.
She balances gentle exploration of past experiences with practical steps to manage symptoms now. Hayley describes herself as loyal, honest and empathic. She values strong family principles while remaining open-minded and non-judgemental.
Her aim is to help people build skills, make sense of difficult experiences and move forward at a pace that feels right.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical changes. Delivered by video or phone, CBT offers clear strategies for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes, including short exercises to use between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. These techniques work well in short live chat check-ins or guided practices during video calls.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hayley will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those aims. If something does not fit, she adapts the plan together with the person.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer no camera, while live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help therapy happen around work, family life and other commitments.
