About Hayley

Hayley Bell is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Hayley works with people dealing with problems such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and commitment issues. She also helps those facing divorce and separation, infidelity, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, or midlife transitions. Practical everyday strains - money and financial worries, fatherhood issues, and dealing with narcissistic relationships - are within her caseload.

Her practice draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat over time. She uses solution-focused techniques to identify concrete steps and Internal Family Systems to explore different parts of a person’s inner life. In sessions the emphasis is on talking through current problems and testing small changes that can make a difference.

Hayley describes herself as respectful and sensitive in her work. She adapts conversations and plans to the specific needs clients bring to therapy. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. This first meeting is used to clarify aims and decide which approach will be most useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that recur across relationships and over time. It helps people understand where certain reactions come from and how past experiences can shape current behaviour. Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical change by identifying small, concrete steps and building on what already works. Internal Family Systems treats difficult feelings as parts of a person’s inner world, allowing those parts to be listened to and reassessed.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences in the first meeting and suggest which methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as therapy proceeds so the work stays relevant to what you need.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, but please check which formats this counsellor currently offers before scheduling.
