Hayley Mcgregor , BACP

Hayley Mcgregor is a qualified integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom. As an integrative therapist she draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, adapting sessions to the unique needs, experiences, and goals of each person. She also holds BACP, a UK professional association for counsellors that reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards.

Hayley offers a supportive and compassionate space where people can explore what has brought them to counselling, working at a pace that feels right for the individual. Her practice emphasizes empathy, respect, patience, and a calm presence, with the aim of helping people feel genuinely heard and understood. The work is shaped around the person rather than a fixed method, allowing practical and emotional support to be tailored as needed.

She supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, childhood trauma, ill health, low self-esteem and other emotional challenges. Through collaborative conversation and practical strategies, Hayley helps clients reconnect with their inner resources and move toward understanding, healing, and positive change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hayley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how past attachments influence current emotions and connections. This approach can be useful for those experiencing attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or relationship difficulties.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises empathy, active listening and a non-judgemental stance so that clients can find their own solutions and build self-esteem. This approach supports personal growth, coping with life changes, and rebuilding a sense of agency.

In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Hayley works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of approaches best suits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility and accessibility. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide continuity of care around work, family commitments, and mobility constraints, making it easier for clients to engage in ongoing therapeutic work.
