Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hayley often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the relationship between therapist and client and prioritizes empathy and active listening to help people explore their own values and choices. This approach can be especially helpful for those seeking a safe space to process emotions and regain confidence.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Additionally, Hayley integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can support regulation of intense feelings and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hayley works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or while traveling. For many people, this accessibility makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and to fit therapy into a busy life, while still receiving care from registered professionals and therapists who tailor their work to each individual's situation.
