Juliette Hayden, BACP

Juliette Hayden is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Juliette trained earlier as a nurse and has long experience working in health settings before moving into counselling.

Her background includes volunteering with a UK charity for survivors of sexual trauma and domestic abuse, and supporting people with terminal diagnoses at a local hospice. She also supports carers of autistic children, drawing on personal experience as a parent of children on the autism spectrum.

Juliette combines practical skills from nursing with counselling approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief and trauma. She also helps people facing chronic pain, long-term illness, relationship breakdown and parenting strain. Her work includes supporting issues such as self-esteem, motivation, sleeping and eating difficulties.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where feelings and thoughts can be talked through. She describes her way of working as walk-alongside support, helping people find coping strategies and new ways of relating to themselves and others.

As an integrative counsellor Juliette draws on different approaches to match each person’s needs. She focuses on building understanding, practical techniques and gradual change so people can move forward with more confidence and clarity.

How therapeutic approaches shape online support

Juliette uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. This can help people understand patterns in current relationships and build safer ways of connecting.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Juliette will talk with clients about their goals, what helps them, and which methods feel most useful. The approach can be adjusted over time as needs and preferences change, so therapy becomes a collaborative process.

If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy while managing chronic illness, caregiving or work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT tasks for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
