About Hayley
Hayley Wilcock is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Hayley creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings.
Her practice is integrative and person-centred at its core, so sessions are shaped around each individual’s needs rather than a single method.
Background and approach
She blends practical coping strategies with reflective work to help people understand patterns that cause distress. Hayley places particular emphasis on issues rooted in earlier experiences and relationships. Hayley has a strong interest in neurodiversity and speaks from lived experience as someone with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
That perspective informs how she offers psychoeducation and practical tools for managing day-to-day challenges. She also spends a lot of time supporting people through bereavement and trauma-related concerns. Clients can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style.
Hayley describes herself as honest, loyal and empathic, and she focuses on building trust and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She values family-related matters and brings warmth and practicality to sessions. If you decide to start, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Hayley works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will talk through your goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then she will recommend ways of working that suit you. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Details about which session formats are offered are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief catch-up is needed, or for longer sessions when deeper processing is helpful. Many registered or accredited professionals find that practical routines and consistent appointments help maintain progress even when meeting remotely.
