Hayley Moran

Hayley Moran is a counsellor with six years' clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Hayley also supports people facing parenting strain, grief and major life changes, and offers help for women navigating specific issues.

Her style is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions focus on talking through what is most pressing, unpicking thoughts, and finding practical steps to move forward. She adapts the pace to each person and aims to increase self-awareness and clarity.

Hayley uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches are blended to match individual needs rather than applied in the same way to everyone. The aim is to create a usable plan you feel comfortable trying between sessions.

Before working in counselling, she spent over 20 years in higher education student support. That background shaped her interest in mood difficulties, motivation, school-related avoidance and workplace issues. Her experience includes roles in university counselling, school and college settings, and NHS-linked services.

People who come to Hayley often want clearer thinking and practical coping tools. She works alongside clients to map out next steps, whether that means short-term problem solving or exploring longer-term patterns. The focus is on small, manageable changes that build over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Hayley draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and on creating a respectful space where people can talk through what matters most. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and then tests different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps and goals to bring about change more quickly.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Hayley will discuss your goals and preferences and tailor methods to suit what you want to achieve. That means trying ideas together and adjusting the plan as you notice what helps.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the specific formats available before booking as the biography does not list session types. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around busy days, avoids travel time and can make regular check-ins easier. It can also allow shorter catch-ups when life is hectic or support focused work on specific problems without needing in-person appointments.
