Hayley Mcgregor, BACP

Hayley Mcgregor is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or grief. She offers a calm, compassionate space to talk through difficult moments and to rebuild confidence. Hayley meets people where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable for them.

She draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches and adapts sessions to suit individual needs and goals. That means conversations might focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going, learning practical coping skills, or working through painful memories. Hayley supports people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and parenting worries, and ageing and geriatric issues.

Her style is warm and patient, emphasising listening and practical steps people can try between sessions. She highlights care, empathy and respect as central to therapy and encourages gentleness when tackling hard topics. Sessions are organised around the person rather than a fixed agenda.

Hayley has three years' experience and holds BACP accreditation, meaning she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are delivered in English.

People interested in starting are asked to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that, scheduling is arranged according to the therapist's availability and the subscription details that apply.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Hayley draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based methods among other approaches. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and introduces practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Hayley will discuss what feels most helpful and make decisions together based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can change over time as progress is made.

Session logistics should be checked before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. They can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who need to avoid being on camera for part of a session. Confirm the available session formats when you arrange your first appointment so you can pick what works best for everyday life.
