Hayley Moran is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, grief, trauma and difficulties with sleep, anger or self-esteem. Hayley works with people navigating career changes, bipolar mood concerns and issues around addiction and coping with life changes.

Hayley practises in a straightforward, conversational way. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and identify small, practical steps forward. Her approach draws on client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. These methods are mixed to match what each person needs rather than using a single fixed method.

That means some sessions focus on exploring feelings while others focus on short-term practical goals. Hayley has six years of clinical experience working directly with clients, plus over 20 years supporting people in higher education. Her background includes university counselling, school and college settings, and NHS-linked services providing counselling and CBT for adults and young people.

Typical themes she helps with include attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. She also supports people through midlife challenges, seasonal affective disorder and workplace stress. Hayley is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her practice focuses on practical, compassionate support that helps people find clarity and a way forward.

Approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-centred therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the conversation and is supported to find their own answers. It helps when someone needs space to talk and to build self-awareness.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what is already working. It can be useful for people who want quick, practical steps to change specific issues like stress or relationship disputes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Hayley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This means the plan can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can suit low bandwidth or a quieter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
