She brings six years of direct clinical work with clients and more than 20 years of experience supporting people of all ages within higher education student support.

Her background includes roles as a university counsellor working with both staff and students, work as a school and college counsellor, and provision of counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy within an NHS-linked service for adults and young people. She currently provides counselling sessions for adults and younger clients through organisational services.

Hayley has supported people facing a wide range of challenges including anxiety and depression, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and other mood disorders, addictions, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, women's issues, and workplace difficulties.

She draws on person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy, adapting these approaches to each person’s individual needs. Hayley works collaboratively to help people explore thoughts and feelings, build self-awareness, and identify clear, practical steps toward a more balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Hayley Moran

Hayley uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive space where the person’s own goals and pace guide the work; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, exploring relationships, and managing life changes. She also integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Where appropriate, solution-focused therapy is used to highlight strengths and create short-term strategies for specific problems such as relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, or workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hayley works collaboratively with each person and will help determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance of approaches as progress is made.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access therapy around work, family, or study commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session styles, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor support to each individual.
