Hayley Moran

Hayley Moran is a counsellor with six years of direct clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Hayley’s practical aim is to help people untangle thoughts and find a clearer way forward.

She brings a background that includes university counselling, school and college counselling, and work within an NHS-linked service. That variety means she has supported adults and young people in different settings and understands how everyday pressures affect mood and behaviour.

In sessions Hayley uses person-centred listening to understand what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small, achievable steps between sessions.

People come to her for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, trauma and sleep problems, alongside mood disorders and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also offers support around workplace stress, caregiver strain and life transitions.

Hayley explains therapy simply and works at a pace that suits the person in front of her. She aims to build self-awareness and practical coping strategies. The goal is clearer thinking, better emotional regulation and realistic steps that fit everyday life.

How these approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel heard. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring feelings like anger or grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical tools to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and managing stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps towards a desired future. Sessions often identify existing strengths and what to try next, which can suit people who want brief, goal-oriented work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, what feels most helpful and how they prefer to work. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses.

Details about session formats were not specified in the original profile, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or quieter moment. It also lets people use tools such as worksheets or screen-sharing for CBT exercises without needing to meet in person.
