About Hayley
Hayley Blacker is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma. Hayley writes in a calm, straightforward way to help people take the first step into therapy.
She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, understanding emotional reactions and helping people find ways to cope. Hayley encourages small, practical steps that fit into daily life rather than sudden large changes. Her work covers a wide range of issues including depression, grief, addictions and intimacy-related concerns.
She also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stresses, anger and self-esteem problems. There is a particular focus on attachment-related issues, abandonment and the effects of past abuse. Hayley uses approaches that help people understand feelings in the body and in relationships.
She combines client-centred listening with ideas from psychodynamic, somatic and emotionally-focused work to match what a person needs. Conversations often look at how past experiences affect current patterns and what small changes might bring relief. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by following the standard sign-up steps.
Hayley aims to work collaboratively, helping each person decide goals and practical next steps. She often suggests simple coping strategies to try between sessions.

How these approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotional needs and connection patterns. Online conversations using this approach help people notice how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more fulfilling.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people find their own understanding and solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and decision making.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in close relationships and helps people access and shift feelings that maintain distance or conflict. Online EFT-style work can help people identify core feelings and rehearse different ways of responding in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to fit each person. This collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted over time.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
