Hayley Day, BACP

Hayley Day helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She focuses on practical support to reduce overwhelm and find clearer next steps. Hayley is calm and approachable and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

Hayley uses a person-centred way of working that puts the person's own goals and experiences at the centre. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person, so the client leads the topics while Hayley offers gentle reflection and practical suggestions. She draws on her experience supporting people around autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, control issues, eating and food concerns, and social anxiety.

Clients often bring worries about guilt, shame, isolation, or finding life purpose, and Hayley helps them break those themes into manageable steps. She also supports people dealing with women's issues, forgiveness, and growing confidence. Her approach aims to build resilience and clearer routines rather than quick fixes.

Hayley holds BACP, which shows she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of counselling experience working with the concerns listed above. Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around what each person needs most.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions that suit their schedule. Hayley offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so support can fit around busy lives.

Person-centred therapy online and practical options

Hayley practises person-centred therapy, which focuses on the person's own goals. Sessions centre on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach suits worries such as anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting stress and feeling stuck.

She also supports people experiencing caregiver stress, issues tied to autism and Asperger Syndrome, and social anxiety by keeping conversations clear and paced to the individual's needs. That makes it easier to break big problems into small, practical steps and to try out new ways of coping between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for a closer face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can be quicker for short check-ins, and messaging allows paced conversation over time. These options make it easier to fit counselling around busy days and varied routines.
