Juliette Hayden, BACP

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). Juliette trained first as a nurse and carried that clinical background into her counselling work. She combines those perspectives when supporting people through difficult health and life challenges.

Juliette draws on a variety of approaches to match what each person needs. She aims to build a calm and non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful memories, loss, chronic illness or ongoing stress. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Her life experience informs much of her practice. She has supported people impacted by chronic pain and long-term illness, and she volunteers with organisations that help survivors of sexual trauma and people facing end-of-life issues. She also has personal experience as a parent of autistic children, and she offers support for carers navigating those stresses.

Work with Juliette commonly covers anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain and parenting pressures. She also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the emotional effects of chronic health conditions. The aim is to help people regain practical coping strategies and greater day-to-day ease.

Juliette adapts her approach to each person rather than following a single method. She explains options, listens to priorities and helps set clear, manageable goals. The focus is on steady progress and on equipping people with tools they can use after therapy ends.

How Juliette uses therapy approaches online

Juliette draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. This can be useful for tackling intimacy worries, trust issues and patterns that repeat in adult life.

She also uses client-centred principles which focus on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they work out their own priorities and solutions.

In sessions she may introduce elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, especially when clients want tools to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thought patterns. CBT-style techniques give practical steps to try between meetings to reduce worry and lift motivation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Juliette collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the balance as goals and needs change. The aim is to tailor the process, not to force a single method.

Confirm the current session options with Juliette before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect from different locations, which helps those managing long-term health conditions or caring responsibilities.
