Hayley Day, BACP

Hayley Day offers focused support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also provides help around autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, control issues, eating and food-related concerns, guilt and shame, loneliness, social anxiety and issues often faced by women. Hayley writes plainly and listens closely so people can name what they need and take small steps forward.

Hayley uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means she follows what matters to the person in the room and works at their pace. Conversations can cover practical coping strategies, ways to manage overwhelm, and clearer problem-solving for day-to-day stresses.

Her background includes four years working directly with people in the United Kingdom. Hayley holds BACP accreditation, which reflects professional membership and practice standards in the UK. She draws on her own experience as a parent-carer to understand common pressures around navigating services and managing multiple responsibilities.

Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and solution-focused when helpful, while also holding space for feelings and reflection. Hayley helps people translate what they discover in conversation into small, manageable actions they can try between meetings. She invites questions and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.

To begin, Hayley asks people to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription model that applies to sessions.

How Hayley’s person-centred work translates online

Hayley practises client-centred therapy, an approach that places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. It means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients name their priorities. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, parenting concerns and feeling stuck by focusing on what matters to the individual.

Her style is collaborative rather than prescriptive. She will work with each person to decide which ways of working suit them, and will review what is helping as therapy continues. Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking as these are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find audio-only conversations require less bandwidth and feel less demanding than video. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and practical coping strategies to work in an online setting, helping clients practise between sessions and use skills in everyday life.
