Hayley Edwards, BACP

Hayley Edwards is a systemically trained counsellor who approaches emotional and relational difficulties by looking at the wider web of relationships that shape people’s lives. She works with patterns, communication, and the changes clients want to make, drawing on a person-centred framework as her main approach while integrating other methods when they are likely to help. With three years of experience, she aims to combine professional training and personal insight to create a non-judgemental and supportive space in which clients can explore sensitive or painful issues.

Hayley understands that the matters brought to therapy are often deeply private, difficult to talk about, embarrassing, or painful, and she brings sensitive, intuitive listening alongside practical therapeutic skills to help clients move forward. She has worked with people facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, and bereavement, and regularly pursues additional training to refine her work and remain informed about mental health approaches.

Hayley holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She is a dedicated counsellor who believes in the value of the counselling process and in each person’s capacity to draw on inner resources to create the life they want. She decided to become a counsellor from personal experience of needing help beyond the support of friends and family, and she is committed to offering practical support and compassionate guidance to clients who come to therapy.
