Hayley Mcgregor , BACP

Hayley Mcgregor is a qualified integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who adapts therapeutic tools to suit each person's unique situation. As an integrative therapist she combines methods from different approaches so the work can be tailored to individual needs, experiences, and goals. She also holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Hayley offers a supportive, compassionate space where people can explore what has brought them to counselling. Her practice is shaped around the client - meeting them where they are and progressing at a pace that feels right for them. This person-centred way of working aims to build understanding and foster a sense of safety during difficult moments.

She supports people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, childhood trauma, ill health, low self-esteem, and other emotional difficulties. Hayley’s approach emphasises listening, empathy, and patience to help clients make meaning of their experiences and develop coping resources.

At the core of her work are respect and compassion. Hayley strives to provide a calm, non-judgemental environment where clients can feel genuinely heard and begin to reconnect with their inner strength and resilience, working together toward greater understanding, healing, and positive change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Hayley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion; this approach can help with issues like abandonment, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns by fostering greater awareness of relational responses. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasises empathy and non-judgemental listening to support self-exploration and build self-esteem. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hayley works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped together so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access support from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
