About Hayley

Hayley Day helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, using a person-centred approach. She is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience and brings personal insight as a parent-carer.

Her practice focuses on practical support for everyday pressures. She talks through current problems and looks for manageable steps forward. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters most to each person.

Hayley has particular experience supporting autistic people and those with Asperger syndrome. She also concentrates on caregiver stress and the demands placed on parents and carers of disabled or autistic young people. This includes help with navigating systems, managing overwhelm and coping with isolation.

Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy. That means sessions centre on the client's perspective and pace, with the counsellor offering listening and reflection rather than directing solutions. The aim is to strengthen self-understanding and practical coping.

Hayley draws on four years working with people facing anxiety, burnout and social anxiety, plus issues such as control, guilt, shame and eating-related concerns. She supports those questioning life purpose and those dealing with women's issues. Her background as a parent-carer informs how she discusses school, services and everyday logistics.

How Hayley uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the client and reflecting their experience back. It aims to help people understand their feelings and make choices that suit them; this can help with anxiety, parenting stress and coping with life changes.

Sessions emphasise the client's own goals and pace rather than a fixed programme. The counsellor and client work together to decide what approaches to try and adjust them over time. This collaborative process helps match the method to the person's needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling around work, school runs or caring duties, and avoiding travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to choose a phone option if video would use too much bandwidth. The exact session formats available are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to help people manage everyday pressures without adding extra journeys.
