About Hayley
Hayley Mcgregor offers a steady, compassionate presence for people feeling overwhelmed. She welcomes those dealing with anxiety, low mood, grief, stress and life changes, and she works with a wide range of emotional struggles. Hayley aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and begin to feel more able to manage day-to-day life.
Hayley uses a mix of approaches so each person’s sessions match their needs. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong emotions and attachment patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred listening and practical cognitive-behavioural tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes. In sessions Hayley focuses on simple, clear steps. She listens first, then helps set goals that feel reachable.
People may work on coping skills, communication habits, or ways to reduce anxiety and improve mood over time. Hayley has three years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Her background supports work with issues such as addiction, ADHD, relationship and parenting concerns, caring stress, chronic illness, body image, and bereavement. Work with Hayley typically moves at a pace chosen by the client. She encourages collaboration so people can shape the focus and try approaches that suit them.
The emphasis is on practical steps, emotional understanding, and helping people regain a sense of control and confidence.

Online support
How Hayley’s approaches work online
Hayley often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred listening. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong feelings so they can move past patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present worries and helps people build safer ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood, letting the client lead the pace and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to try different ideas together. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as people notice what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and short check-ins or practical coaching can fit into live chat or messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility limits while keeping the focus on progress and emotional understanding.
