About Hayley
Hayley Clayton is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on a range of concerns including LGBT issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, anxiety and stress, and mood concerns such as depression.
Hayley works with people who are dealing with relationship and intimacy-related problems, anger, low self-esteem and career-related stress. She also supports those managing change, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and feelings of guilt, shame or isolation. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn day to day.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She mixes these approaches to match the issue at hand, using CBT for thinking and behaviour patterns, psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-term patterns, and trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects present life.
Hayley describes her way of working as respectful and sensitive. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs and preferences rather than using a fixed formula. This means she will often check in about what is helping and what to change in therapy.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How these approaches are used in online sessions
Hayley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach is practical and often involves setting small tasks between sessions to build new habits and reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring patterns that affect relationships and self-image. This approach helps people understand longstanding ways of relating that can influence current difficulties.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life. It concentrates on processing traumatic memories and on techniques to reduce distress linked to those memories.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Hayley will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest which approach, or combination, is likely to help. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm what formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular therapy while managing everyday commitments.
