Hayley Mcgregor offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She introduces herself simply as Hayley and aims to create a warm space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Her approach is practical and paced to each person, so sessions move at a speed that feels comfortable.

Hayley practises with a client-centred outlook that keeps the person’s experience at the centre of the work.

Background and approach

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to break down unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes. She supports people coping with grief, low mood and worries about self-esteem, as well as those facing parenting strain, career stress or compassion fatigue.

Addictions and ADHD are also within her scope, alongside relationship and communication difficulties. Hayley is happy to address both sudden life events and longer-term struggles. Hayley has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. Her work aims to help people feel heard, build coping skills and make manageable changes that suit their everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns. It helps when someone wants to understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and to build more supported ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping the sessions around the person’s needs. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they make sense of difficult emotions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with clear, practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress by testing thoughts and trying small behavioural changes.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Hayley will discuss options with each person and decide together which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and work in a more conversational way. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera feels hard. Live chat and text-based messaging allow regular contact in writing and can be useful between calls or for people who prefer not to speak aloud. Registered and accredited professionals offer these formats so therapy can bend around work, family or mobility needs.
