Hayley Day

Hayley Day is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those coping with life changes and parenting-related strain. Hayley’s work includes a focus on eating and food-related issues alongside social anxiety, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Hayley uses a client-centred style that keeps the person’s own goals at the centre of sessions. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what matters to them. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures and to make small, sustainable changes.

Her background includes four years practising with a range of concerns common in adult life, such as caregiver stress, control issues and finding meaning. Hayley draws on that experience to help people find what works for them rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Hayley holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. She works with people in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. Before booking, clients are invited to consider how the therapist’s focus areas match their needs.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The process is designed to help both parties decide whether to work together and to set clear, personal goals for therapy.

How client-centred therapy translates to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the person says and supporting them to find their own solutions. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and eating and food-related issues by encouraging people to set goals that feel right for them.

The therapist will treat finding the right way to work as a collaborative process. Together they will look at your goals, what helps you feel understood, and how to adapt sessions so they fit your needs and preferences. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made with you rather than imposed.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you need quieter surroundings, less screen time or a shorter meeting to fit a break at work, discuss these practical preferences during the matching process so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
