Hayley Mcgregor , BACP

Hayley Mcgregor is a qualified integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a person-centered perspective while drawing on a range of therapeutic methods. She holds BACP membership, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and uses an integrative framework to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, experiences, and goals.

Hayley creates a calm, compassionate environment where people can explore what has brought them to counselling and work at a pace that feels right for them. She places emphasis on empathy, respect, patience, and compassionate listening, helping people feel heard and understood as they make sense of difficult thoughts and emotions.

Her practice supports people facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, childhood trauma, ill health, low self-esteem, and other emotional difficulties. Hayley aims to help individuals rediscover their inner resources and resilience and to work collaboratively toward greater understanding, healing, and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Hayley integrates Attachment-Based Therapy into her work, which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional responses - this approach can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, or relationship difficulties.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth - this method supports self-esteem, self-exploration, and navigating life changes.

Additionally, Hayley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - CBT is often helpful for symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Hayley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles and access needs. These options allow people to receive consistent support without adding travel time, making it easier to maintain regular sessions and continue therapeutic work from home or other convenient locations.
