About Hayley
Hayley Mcgregor is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She helps people who are feeling anxious, stressed, low or overwhelmed. She also supports people facing grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, and the practical strain of life changes.
Hayley uses a mix of approaches so sessions focus on what is most useful for the person in front of her. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to look at patterns in relationships and to make space for a person's own priorities.
In a typical session she listens to what is most pressing, explains simple strategies, and tries out small changes together. Tasks between sessions are practical and aimed at building new routines or breaking cycles that maintain distress. Conversations are direct and paced to suit the person’s day-to-day life.
Hayley has experience supporting a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including addiction, ADHD, anger, career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and body image issues. She mentions work with attachment difficulties and abandonment themes as part of that broader focus.
Sessions are offered in English in the UK. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Hayley uses structured approaches in online work
Hayley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. CBT sessions often include clear exercises, short experiments and simple tasks to practise between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how past relationships shape current patterns and to develop different ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time. The therapist and client decide together which combination of techniques fits the issue and the day-to-day demands of life.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel because sessions can avoid commute time and be scheduled more flexibly. Online work can also make it easier to try brief check-ins, use telephone where video is difficult, or fit sessions into a shorter break in the day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer a range of formats; check the available session types when you arrange the first appointment.
