About Hayley

Hayley Damous uses a client-centred way of working to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or difficult past experiences. She aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, non-judgemental support. Hayley holds BACP, which indicates registration with a recognised UK counselling body.

She focuses on trauma and abuse as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. Hayley also helps people coping with low self-esteem, sleeping difficulties, addictions, grief and depression.

Background and approach

Practical day-to-day challenges such as parenting strain, career changes, and communication problems are included in her work. Hayley draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and client-centred methods shape sessions when people want practical coping tools and clearer thinking.

Existential and Jungian ideas are used to explore meaning, values and deeper patterns when that fits the person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Hayley listens first, then helps people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes.

She checks in about goals and adapts methods as things evolve. Hayley accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries in English. Her four years of professional practice include supporting people through life transitions, compassion fatigue, and complex emotional concerns.

If someone wants to start, they complete a short questionnaire to match with her and arrange sessions that suit their timetable.

Online support

Hayley blends client-centred practice with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques to shape online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person’s pace, helping people feel heard and understood. CBT offers clear, practical strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness teaches simple exercises to reduce stress and anchor attention in the present, helping with rumination and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Hayley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and personal preferences. She begins by listening, then suggests approaches to try, and adjusts them as progress is made so the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video suits fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact and brief reflections between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives, different time zones and varied daily routines.
