About Hayley
Hayley Mcgregor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She meets each person where they are and tailors sessions to their needs and pace. Her practice is grounded in compassion and respect, creating a calm space for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Hayley uses a blend of approaches to match what feels most useful for each person. This includes somatic work that pays attention to bodily responses, attachment-based ideas that look at relationship patterns, and client-centred listening that prioritises the person's own experience.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural and dialectical strategies when practical tools are helpful. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. That might be working through grief, building coping skills for anxiety, managing compassion fatigue, or looking at relationship and parenting concerns.
Hayley also supports people dealing with chronic illness, addiction, ADHD and a range of personality or communication difficulties. She brings three years of experience and is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted as part of her professional profile.
People can expect straightforward, patient conversations that aim to help them understand their patterns and find steps forward. Hayley works to create a non-judgemental environment where practical coping strategies and deeper emotional work can happen together.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to the body and how physical sensations link to feelings. It can help when stress, trauma or persistent anxiety show up as tension, numbness or other bodily reactions.Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they affect current connections. It helps people recognise repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s own pace and priorities. It supports people who need a steady, accepting space to make sense of their experience.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting the way work proceeds as trust and clarity grow.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and mobility needs while keeping continuity of care. Many people find the variety helpful for homework, brief check-ins or deeper weekly sessions depending on what they need.
