About Kevin
Kevin Hayman works on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem and relationship and intimacy-related issues using a person-centred approach. He explains what matters to each person and encourages practical reflection. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has four years' experience in counselling.
Kevin moved into counselling after a career in business and draws on that background when talking about work, money and career concerns. He has worked with people from different ages and ethnic backgrounds and helps them to understand themselves more clearly. He offers unconditional positive regard and aims to build a trusting conversational space.
In sessions he prioritises what the client brings. He listens and reflects back what he hears so people can arrive at their own insights. He uses Client-Centred Therapy methods to keep the focus on the person's experience, and Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help with anxiety, stress and repeated patterns of thought.
Kevin supports people with a wide range of issues beyond core concerns, including ageing and geriatric questions, attachment and communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and multicultural or immigration-related matters. He also addresses process addictions such as problematic pornography, exercise or gambling behaviour.
Sessions include discussion of practical life steps, ways to manage sleep and eating concerns, and coping strategies for life changes. He also offers coaching for career direction and money-related stress, drawing on his business experience to make these conversations concrete and action-focused.
How client-centred and mindfulness work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client can make sense of things in their own words. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem and life decisions.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices and noticing techniques to manage stress, anxiety and repetitive thinking. These techniques support clearer thinking about sleep, eating patterns and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will discuss the methods that might help and decide together with the client which to try. He will adapt sessions to the person's needs, goals and preferences as the work progresses.
