About Hayley Cook

Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and Hayley Cook offers steady guidance for anyone ready to start that work. She trained with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds BACP affiliation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences influence present thoughts, feelings, and relationships.

Hayley’s primary orientation is psychodynamic therapy, but she adapts her approach to meet each person where they are, integrating techniques from other models studied in her training. She creates a compassionate, non-judgmental environment in which clients are invited to reflect at a pace that feels manageable, whether they are coping with grief, trauma, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or a sense of being stuck.

Rather than offering quick fixes or prescriptive advice, Hayley aims to support insight, self-compassion, and growing confidence so clients can make changes that feel right for them. When someone is ready to connect, she makes contact to learn about the story that brought them to therapy and to agree on a session format - such as video, phone, or live chat - before arranging the first appointment.

Psychodynamic and client-centered approaches for online therapy

Hayley commonly works from psychodynamic and client-centered perspectives, and she may also draw on cognitive behavioral ideas when helpful. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current patterns of thinking and feeling, helping people understand underlying emotional drivers and long-standing relationship themes. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person in the room, offering a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Hayley collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as new insights emerge and as priorities change.

Online therapy with Hayley is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from home or elsewhere. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to choose the format that feels most comfortable while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.
