Kevin Hayman, BACP

Kevin Hayman is a person-centred counsellor who draws on direct, practical ways to support people through difficult times. He brings four years of counselling experience and a background in business to his work, which helps him stay grounded and results-focused. He offers empathy and unconditional positive regard in sessions and aims to help people notice their own strengths and choices.

Kevin uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of the conversation. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the individual - stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns are common topics he works with. He also supports people facing life changes and career-related stresses.

Mindfulness approaches are used alongside client-centred work to help calm racing thoughts and improve everyday coping. These practices are offered in simple, practical ways that can be used between sessions. Kevin also addresses issues such as sleep and eating concerns, isolation and midlife challenges.

He has helped people with deeper-rooted topics like attachment, guilt and shame, control issues and forgiveness. Additional areas of focus include men’s issues, multicultural concerns, immigration-related worries and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.

Sessions are held in English and Kevin works with people across the United Kingdom, including international clients. His BACP credential is listed as BACP and reflects his professional registration. If someone chooses to work with him, they begin with a short matching process and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Kevin offers client-centred counselling online, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person clarify what matters most, which can be useful for stress, relationship worries and life transitions.

Mindfulness therapy is also part of his offer and involves simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep problems and staying grounded during difficult moments, and are taught in straightforward steps that can be practised between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a method on them. This collaborative planning helps people try things and adjust as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for fuller conversations, phone can fit a break at work, and chat or text are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
