About Hayley
Hayley Blacker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties.

Hayley creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them. She listens for patterns in relationships, reactions and day-to-day coping. Conversations are practical and grounded, not overloaded with technical language. Clients can expect straightforward reflection and gentle challenge when it helps.
Her work includes supporting people through trauma, grief and loss, and she also offers help with issues such as addictions, intimacy concerns, body image and caregiver stress. Hayley is experienced with a range of emotional struggles including anger, self-esteem and the ups and downs of life like career change and coping with chronic illness.
Hayley has an interest in adoption and foster care matters and in attachment-related themes. She also works with matters linked to neurodiversity and relationship styles such as BDSM and kink, always keeping the conversation respectful and practical. She uses different ways of working to find what helps each person most.
If you want to start, the usual path is to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match with her, then schedule a session according to availability. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be considered.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Attachment-Based work pays attention to how early and important relationships shape feelings and expectations. It can help people understand relationship patterns and rebuild trust in close connections. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening and accepting the person’s experience. That approach helps people find their own solutions at a pace that feels right. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people access and express core feelings in a way that can change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayley will discuss different ways of working and match her approach to your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you set priorities and she helps you try methods that feel useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter space at certain times. Ask about scheduling and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your everyday life.
