About Hayley
ACA counsellor with 11 years' experience, Hayley Mayer helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and life changes. She uses conversational, person-focused methods that aim to clarify values and build practical coping skills. Sessions are direct and readable, aimed at people who want straightforward support and coaching as they work through change.
Hayley draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and committed action. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns affect current problems. Client-Centred Therapy frames her work with a focus on the client's priorities and voice.
In practice she talks through what matters now and what small steps are possible next. That can include planning experiments, practising new responses, or shifting daily routines to reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.
She has worked across common life transitions and relationship difficulties, including midlife reassessment, workplace stress, grief and end-of-life concerns, infidelity and issues around guilt and shame. Hayley also supports people dealing with social anxiety, self-harm thoughts, emptiness and questions of life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English from Australia. The fee model uses a cancellable subscription, with cost varying by location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Hayley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, practical steps aligned with those values; it suits issues like anxiety, low motivation and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current responses and helps people try different ways of relating, which can be useful for relationship strain and jealousy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process aims to match interventions to the client's needs rather than applying a single technique.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise skills between meetings in their everyday settings, then bring observations back to therapy for discussion.
