About Hayley Wilcock
Hayley Wilcock is a UK-credentialed counsellor with five years of professional experience who focuses on creating a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear of judgment. She works to build an open therapeutic relationship that encourages honesty and emotional safety, recognising that taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage.
As an integrative counsellor with a person-centered core, Hayley tailors her methods to the individual needs of each person she sees, combining a range of counselling skills and approaches rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Her practice is rooted in listening and collaboration, helping people identify practical coping strategies alongside deeper personal insight.
Hayley describes herself as loyal, honest, and empathetic, and she finds professional satisfaction in supporting others through change and growth. She came to counselling after experiencing first-hand the value of therapy, and she draws on natural interpersonal strengths to work with people in a grounded, down-to-earth way. Hayley works with a broad spectrum of complex issues and specialises in addressing past difficulties, trauma, bereavement, and aspects of neurodiversity. Living with ADHD herself, she considers it a privilege to support both diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodiverse clients with practical coping techniques and psychoeducation.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Hayley works with several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person she sees. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with difficulties in close relationships, trust, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood, offering concrete tools for coping in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and non-judgemental attention to thoughts and sensations, which can be helpful for stress management, emotional tolerance, and building resilience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Hayley treats that choice as a collaborative process. She works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, combining methods where appropriate so that the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.
Online therapy with Hayley is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while fitting therapy into busy or changing lives.
