Hayley Wilcock , BACP

Hayley Wilcock welcomes visitors to her profile and brings five years of professional experience in counselling in the United Kingdom. She is credentialed with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works to offer a calm, respectful space where people can explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Hayley recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and she acknowledges the steps people take to get started. Her work is integrative with a person-centered core, meaning she draws on a range of counselling skills and therapeutic approaches while keeping the client’s needs at the centre of the process. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all method.

Known for loyalty, honesty, and empathy, Hayley values helping others and takes pride in their progress. She brings strong family values and an open-minded, non-judgemental stance to her practice, and she moved into counselling after experiencing the benefits of therapy herself and deciding to apply her personal strengths professionally.

Hayley works with a wide spectrum of often complex concerns, with particular focus on the past, trauma, bereavement, and neurodiversity. As someone with ADHD, she finds it meaningful to support people who are neurodivergent, offering practical coping strategies and psychoeducation alongside therapeutic work.

Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people explore connection, trust, and the ways past bonds influence present relationships, which can be useful for those experiencing attachment concerns, abandonment, or relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of experience. It supports stress reduction, improved emotional regulation, and offers tools for managing overwhelming thoughts and sensations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Hayley works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reach people who cannot travel easily, and allow clients to work with a therapist in ways that suit their comfort and practical needs.
