About Hayley

Dr Hayley Trower works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses client-centred and psychodynamic approaches and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience working with people on these concerns.

Hayley focuses on what underlies a problem as much as the problem itself. She listens for patterns in how someone relates to themselves and others, then helps them notice and change those patterns over time. Sessions include talking together and reflecting on feelings, memories and current situations to make sense of repeated reactions.

Her client-centred work emphasises the person's own goals and experience in the room. Psychodynamic elements look at how past relationships and early experiences shape present responses. Both approaches aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage.

Hayley also draws on breathing practices and guided visualisation alongside talking, when that fits the person’s preferences. She explains techniques during sessions and encourages people to try what feels useful between meetings. The focus is practical: clearer thinking about problems, improved coping and steadier emotional responses.

People seeking help for addiction-related concerns, low self-worth, attachment or communication problems, chronic illness adjustments, or major life transitions may find this approach relevant. She works with individuals to set goals, try different ways of responding, and review progress as therapy continues.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first, focusing on their goals and what they want to work on. Online sessions can follow this by allowing time for the person to talk, reflect and set practical goals with the counsellor. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions, which can be explored through discussion and reflection during remote meetings.

Deciding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, preferences and what they want to achieve. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means someone can continue with sessions if they move location or are coordinating across time zones. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote work to provide continuity of care and to adapt session length or frequency to daily life.
