Hayley Clayton, NCPS

Hayley Clayton works from a person-centred place, using practical therapy to help people make changes in their lives. She is credentialed with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Hayley focuses on clear, respectful conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions.

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people dealing with trauma, grief and loss, and helps those facing relationship and intimacy-related worries. Hayley also assists with parenting concerns, career stress and issues tied to identity and LGBT matters.

Sessions centre on the person’s needs. Hayley explains options and together they shape a plan that fits daily life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that cause distress and to build new habits. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing feelings and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting how someone functions now.

Hayley aims to be sensitive and non-judgemental in the room. She pays attention to guilt, shame, isolation and low self-esteem, and works with people on self-compassion and self-love. The approach is straightforward and supportive, with concrete steps and emotional space.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on Hayley’s availability. Fees vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches can work online

Hayley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try small behaviour changes. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and everyday stress by giving practical tools to use between sessions.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting daily life. This approach focuses on processing painful memories and reducing their hold on current feelings and reactions, often through gradual, stabilising steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Hayley will discuss options and work with the person to choose what fits their needs, goals and style. That choice is revisited as things change, so the plan can be adjusted together.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as details are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel and use quieter surroundings when needed. It can also allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments and reduce the time cost of attending in person. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
