About Hayley
Hayley Moran is a counsellor with six years of clinical contact helping adults and young people. She holds BACP and has a long background in higher education student support. Hayley aims to make the first steps less daunting and to help people find clearer ways forward.
She spent over 20 years working across universities in student support roles and now offers counselling within organisations. Her work has included university counselling for staff and students, school and college counselling, and roles linked to NHS services where she provided counselling and CBT for adults and young people.
Hayley supports people with a wide range of difficulties. Common concerns she helps with include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger and addictions. She also helps with parenting questions, career change, low self-esteem, bipolar and midlife issues.
Her approach is person centred in the main, so sessions start with what matters to the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for practical thinking and behaviour work and Solution-Focused Therapy for short-term goal setting. Hayley adapts methods to fit each client rather than offering a single fixed model.
In sessions she helps people untangle thoughts, build self-awareness and identify manageable steps forward. She encourages realistic goals and practical tasks that fit everyday life. The aim is clearer thinking and small changes that add up to better balance.
How Hayley uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, so sessions begin by following what matters to you and building a trusting relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful cycles. Solution-Focused Therapy works on small, achievable goals and highlights the next steps that make a real difference.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hayley will discuss what feels helpful and adapt methods to your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapy style can change as you make progress.
If you are considering online options, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It can also let you use audio-only or lower-bandwidth ways of meeting if needed, which can help on a hectic day. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often combine different ways of meeting to suit practical needs and daily life.
