About Hayley

Hayley Edwards is a counsellor who blends relational thinking with a person-centred way of working. She frames problems in the context of relationships and communication, while helping each person find the right pace and goals for therapy. Hayley practices in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She focuses on how people relate to others and to themselves. Sessions look at patterns of interaction, how communication happens, and what changes a person wants to make.

Background and approach

The person-centred stance means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead while offering practical reflections and questions. Hayley has three years of clinical experience and has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, bereavement and a range of other difficulties.

She also works with issues such as stress, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, eating issues, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a space where difficult or personal topics can be named and worked through without feeling rushed.

Hayley keeps updating her skills through ongoing training to improve how she supports people. People who meet her can expect straightforward, relational therapy that prioritises their lived situation. Sessions are designed to help clients notice patterns, make clearer choices and take small practical steps towards change.

How Hayley uses relational and person-centred approaches online

Hayley often combines person-centred work with systemic, relational thinking. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it suits issues like low mood, anxiety and low self-esteem. Systemic or relational work looks at communication and patterns between people, which can help with relationship or family-related concerns and recurring interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare or other commitments.
