About Hayley
Hayley Mcgregor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anger and related difficulties. She uses a person-centred way of working that aims to put the client’s needs first. Hayley offers a calm, respectful space where someone can say what is on their mind without being judged.
Hayley trained as an integrative counsellor and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. That means she blends different counselling approaches to match each person’s situation. She tailors sessions to what feels most useful for you, and moves at a pace you can follow.
People come to Hayley for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, self-esteem, relationship and parenting issues, and anger. She also supports those coping with life changes, chronic illness, addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her wider interests include attachment and communication problems, body image, and caregiver stress.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas, and emotionally-focused methods. In a session she listens, reflects, and offers practical steps you can try between meetings. Conversations aim to build understanding and small changes that fit into everyday life.
Hayley has three years of experience. Sessions are conducted in English and she currently does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the process on the site.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Hayley commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural approaches. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help when anger comes from fear or feeling abandoned. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in thoughts and actions to reduce stress and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hayley will talk with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts the way she works as you learn what helps.
The practical aim of online therapy is to fit support into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule calls around work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep regular contact with their counsellor while managing other commitments.
