About Hayley
Hayley Blacker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Hayley aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and encourages people who take that step.
Hayley creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
Background and approach
She listens closely and helps people put words to what they are feeling. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, so people feel understood rather than pushed. Her approach draws on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and behaviour.
She also uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic perspectives to explore patterns from the past that affect life now. Somatic work is available when physical sensations and the body hold emotional material. People come to Hayley for a wide range of concerns, from sleep and eating difficulties to coping with career strain, compassion fatigue, addiction, ADHD and intimacy issues.
She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and caregiver stress. Conversations can cover both practical coping skills and deeper emotional work. Sessions are held online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging, and are available to English-speaking international clients.
Hayley uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the approach as needs and priorities become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give practical flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and let people choose how they feel most able to take part.
