About Hayley
Hayley Clayton is an NCPS-credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and anger, and addresses related concerns such as grief, trauma and parenting strain.
Hayley helps people who are navigating LGBT issues, family conflict and the aftermath of loss. She also supports those managing intimacy-related problems, low self-esteem, career pressure and the fatigue that can come from caring roles. Clients who feel isolated or struggle with guilt and shame are also within her focus.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she talks through current difficulties, looks at unhelpful patterns, and considers how past experiences shape present reactions. The work is conversational and practical, with attention to both thoughts and feelings.
Hayley adapts sessions to each person’s circumstances. She and the client set goals and try approaches that suit day-to-day life. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change if something is not helping.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. To start, clients use the site matching steps to choose a plan, complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It’s practical and helps with problems like anger, anxiety and low mood by testing unhelpful thinking and trying new responses. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how past relationships and experiences shape current reactions. It can help uncover repeating patterns that affect intimacy, self-esteem and family conflict. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily life. It aims to lessen the intensity of trauma-related reactions so people can manage triggers more effectively.Choosing the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. They review what helps and adjust plans so the work stays relevant and practical.
