About Hayley
Hayley Clayton is a counsellor who uses a blend of practical talking therapy approaches to help people manage depression and related concerns. She works in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to conversations about stress, grief and relationship strain. Hayley aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people can begin to talk about what feels hard.
She regularly supports people facing LGBT matters and those coping after trauma or abuse.
Background and approach
Hayley also helps with parenting worries, career stress and problems with self-esteem or intimacy. She takes time to listen and then adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Hayley draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep them stuck.
She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. When trauma is present she applies trauma-focused ways of working to reduce distress and help people feel safer in everyday life. Her sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding what matters most to the person in front of her.
Conversations can include short exercises, goal-setting and reflection to build small changes over time. Hayley encourages people to set the pace and direction of the work. People who choose her often want straightforward support for grief, depression, anxiety and family-related stress.
She aims to help clients find clearer ways to cope, repair relationships and move forward with more confidence.

Approaches Hayley lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Hayley discusses goals and preferences at the start and adjusts methods as work progresses. She aims to match techniques to what the person needs, so sessions can be practical one week and more reflective the next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits more conversational work and exercises that use screen materials. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people keep a steady connection without being on camera and can fit around busy schedules. These options offer flexibility for different lifestyles and make it easier to maintain regular sessions.
