Hayley Day

Hayley Day is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports parents and carers facing the strains of caring for disabled or autistic young people, and those coping with life changes or loneliness. Hayley uses a person-centred style that aims to make conversations feel calm and respectful. Her approach focuses on listening carefully and following each person's pace. She encourages people to talk through what matters most to them and to notice strengths they may be overlooking. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build practical coping strategies for daily life. Hayley has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she works within the standards and guidance the association sets. She draws on her own experience as a parent-carer to inform her understanding of the pressures many clients describe. Many clients come with concerns about social anxiety, isolation and feeling unsupported. Hayley helps people make sense of those feelings and set small, achievable steps towards change. She is straightforward and warm in session, offering a steady space to try things out and reflect on progress. People who contact her begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. She uses a subscription model for payments, which can be cancelled at any time.

Person-centred counselling and online support

Hayley practises a client-centred approach. This means she offers a warm, listening space and aims to follow the clients lead. It is often helpful for people who feel stuck, anxious or isolated and want to explore their thoughts at their own pace. Her background as a parent-carer informs how she listens to carers and people navigating neurodivergent diagnoses. The focus is on understanding what matters to each person and building practical steps forward rather than imposing solutions. Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Hayley discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts her approach as the work progresses. She aims to collaborate so clients feel comfortable trying different ideas and noticing what helps. Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Discussing how sessions will run is part of the initial matching and scheduling process.
