About Hayley
Hayley Moran is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience supporting adults through common life stresses. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges and coping with major life changes. Hayley uses clear, practical language and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
Her background includes long experience in higher education student support and work as a university counsellor for staff and students.
Background and approach
She has also provided counselling in schools, colleges and an NHS-linked service, working alongside adults and young people in those settings. This variety gives her experience with workplace issues, study-related stress and transitions. Hayley offers person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods.
She adapts these approaches to each person’s needs, helping them untangle thoughts and find realistic ways forward. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer self-awareness and small changes that add up. She has helped people with grief, trauma and post-traumatic stress, mood disorders including bipolar, and issues like sleep problems, anger and addictions.
Additional areas include attachment concerns, blended family difficulties, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and workplace strain. Hayley works in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
If someone wants steady, practical support during a difficult period, she offers calm, guided conversation and focused goal-setting.

How Hayley’s approaches work online
Hayley practices person-centred counselling, which means the session focuses on the person rather than a strict technique. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear and helps the person find their own direction, often useful for feelings of overwhelm or low self-esteem.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties because it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours.
Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what helps you move forward. It is goal-oriented and can be handy when someone wants quick, practical changes around parenting routines, work stress or day-to-day coping.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences, try out methods in session and adjust the plan as you go. That way the therapy is shaped around what actually helps you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins and messaging fits people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments.
