About me

I am licensed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have worked with clients using integrative counselling, which allows me to use various skills and approaches which are suitable for the client and what is brought. Working frequently with anxiety, depression, abuse in all forms, race, relationship, imposter syndrome, learning to say no, and the list goes on.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and tailor my dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, providing tools, helping you develop healthy or more positive ways of managing, coping mechanisms, allowing you a space to express safely, without judgement! Taking the first step to sign up for coundrlling can take courage and is an amazing step in your journey of self-development, understanding, growth, healing or whatever you might wish/need to use the space for. You should be proud of yourself for taking this step.

I find Hayden is very easy to talk to and understanding, I feel he doesn't always tell you what you want to hear but tells you when you need to hear and really connects on a personal level to help you progress in yourself.
I can not recommend him enough and will continue our sessions for the foreseeable.

Been working with Hayden for couple of months now and it has helped me tremendously. We have been working on various different things from body image to previous traumas . I feel like I think differently and with alot better perspective since working with Hayden . Would Highly recommend to anyone who are thinking about using a therapist

Amazing therapist

Written on Mar 08, 2024 after therapy with Hayden for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

Hayden has really helped me. When I started talking with him I felt completely lost, hopeless and riddled with guilt. I now feel so much more grounded and positive and able to cope with what life has thrown at me. Thanks so much Hayden
