Juliette HaydenBACP

Juliette Hayden is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background in nursing and long clinical career shape a practical, compassionate approach to emotional and physical health issues.

Juliette draws on her nursing experience and her own life as a parent to offer grounded support. She has volunteered with services for survivors of sexual trauma and domestic abuse and works with a local hospice to support people facing terminal illness and their loved ones. These roles inform how she listens to difficult stories and responds with care.

Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, chronic pain and long-term illness. Juliette has a particular interest in carers of autistic children and in issues connected to trauma and recovery.

In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where feelings can be talked through. She adapts her style to each person and works collaboratively to set goals and find coping strategies. Techniques include exploring how thoughts, relationships and the body interact to affect mood and behaviour.

Juliette’s integrative approach means she combines different counselling methods to suit individual needs. She focuses on practical tools alongside emotional processing so people leave with clear ideas to try between sessions.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Juliette draws on attachment-based ways of working that look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour; this approach can help with intimacy issues, relationship patterns and attachment concerns. Client-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead, which suits people who need space to make sense of their experiences. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and agree on techniques to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or by allowing shorter check-ins on challenging days. It can also let people use grounding and breathing exercises alongside talk work, and fit sessions around childcare, work breaks or medical appointments. Registered or accredited professionals will help you choose a format that suits your needs and daily routine.
