About Hayley

Dr Hayley Warman works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression using approaches she practises, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic work. She is registered with the HCPC and has three years' experience in the work described here.

Dr Warman offers short, clear sessions that focus on what is most troubling right now. She helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviour, and she uses practical exercises alongside reflective conversation. Sessions aim to clarify problems, set small goals, and test out ways of coping between meetings.

Her background includes clinical work with people reporting autistic traits and those affected by abuse or traumatic loss. The work often combines structured techniques from CBT and ACT with psychodynamic ways of looking at past relationships and patterns that are still causing difficulty. This means practical strategies and also space to understand long-standing emotional patterns.

She describes her practice as collaborative: the counsellor and the person work together to pick methods that suit the issue and the person. Where needed, sessions focus on specific symptoms such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or intense mood shifts, and on problems with communication and relationship boundaries.

Dr Warman practices in the United Kingdom and works in English. She accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values; it is often used for anxiety, avoidance and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviours that maintain distress, and it is commonly used for panic, OCD symptoms and mood problems. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and repeating patterns affect current feelings and relationships, which can help with long-standing attachment and personality difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and they will decide together which combination of methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions and what homework or practical tasks are useful between meetings.

Confirm the precise session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, including shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel. It also allows people to use approaches like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices from ACT, and reflective psychodynamic conversation from wherever they are, which helps therapy fit around everyday life.
