About Hayley
BACP. 3 years' experience. Hayley Mcgregor works with adults in the United Kingdom on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with relationship and parenting difficulties, addiction issues, compassion fatigue and ADHD, and with other life changes.
Hayley describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on several approaches to shape sessions. That means she uses different methods from counselling models such as attachment-focused work, client-centred ways of relating, cognitive behavioural ideas and elements drawn from emotion-focused and dialectical approaches. The intention is to respond to what is coming up in the room rather than follow a single technique.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Hayley listens to what someone brings and helps them make sense of their feelings, reactions and patterns. She may use conversations about thoughts and behaviours alongside work about relationships and emotional responses. Sessions can include discussion and simple exercises to practise between appointments.
Her experience is three years in counselling practice and she works in English. Hayley notes that she shapes the work to a person's needs, moving at a pace that feels manageable. People considering counselling are asked to check the platform's session options and follow the booking steps to arrange an initial session.
Hayley offers counselling with an emphasis on understanding how attachment and emotion influence present difficulties. She also integrates cognitive and behavioural strategies when those fit the stated goals of the person in front of her. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
How Hayley’s approaches work in remote counselling
Hayley uses attachment-based work, client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps with difficulties in close relationships and trust. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping a person make sense of their feelings, useful for low mood, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioural ideas involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor and client will review what is and is not helpful and decide together which methods to use. Hayley aims to match techniques to the person's goals and pace the work to what the client can manage.
The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different approaches translate to remote work in different ways - for example, CBT-style tasks may include short between-session exercises, while attachment and client-centred work focuses on how feelings and relationships are discussed during sessions.
