Hayley Moran

Hayley Moran is a counsellor with six years of direct clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief and divorce and separation. Hayley also helps those coping with life changes, trauma, sleeping problems, anger and matters affecting self-esteem and mood. She has a background working across higher education student support for over 20 years and has provided counselling in universities, schools and NHS-linked services. That work included offering counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy for adults and young people. Her broad experience means she is used to practical, everyday worries as well as longer-standing difficulties. Hayley uses person-centred approaches to help people feel heard. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, achievable changes and to build momentum towards goals. In sessions she encourages clients to talk through what matters most. The aim is to help untangle difficult thoughts, increase self-awareness and discover a clearer way forward. Hayley adapts the mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs and situation. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she frames therapy as a partnership. Hayley’s work is practical and conversational, with a focus on what can change in everyday life.

How Hayley’s approaches adapt to online therapy

Hayley works with person-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused steps. Person-centred therapy is about listening closely and helping people feel understood so they can explore what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. Solution-focused therapy emphasises small, realistic goals and quick steps that build momentum and confidence. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Hayley treats this as a collaborative decision and will discuss what feels most useful based on goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before. That way the plan can be adjusted as work progresses. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to schedule a short check-in during a lunch break or to keep appointments when routines are busy.
