Hayley Edwards, BACP

Hayley Edwards is a systemically trained counsellor who prioritises relationships and the ways people connect with those around them. Her systemic perspective highlights that individuals live within networks of relationships, so she looks at interaction patterns, communication styles, and the changes people want to make in their relationships and family life.

Her primary framework is person-centred therapy, which focuses on meeting each person with empathy and respect, while she also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques when they suit a client’s needs. This flexible approach allows her to tailor sessions to the unique concerns and goals of each individual.

With professional training and first-hand experience, she offers a non-judgemental space, bringing sensitive and intuitive insight alongside practical therapeutic skills to support progress. She recognises that many issues brought to therapy can be deeply personal, difficult to discuss, embarrassing, or painful, and she has experience working with people facing a wide range of challenges.

Hayley is passionate about mental health and the benefits of one-to-one counselling, and she believes everyone should have access to therapeutic support. She has worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and bereavement, and she regularly undertakes additional training to refine her practice. Hayley believes in the counselling process and in people’s capacity to draw on their own resources to build the life they want. She is also registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
