Dr. Hayley Warman

Dr Hayley Warman is a clinical psychologist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems and relationship difficulties. She supports people working through trauma, abuse, grief and loss. Hayley also works with individuals on concerns linked to autism and personality-related difficulties such as avoidant or narcissistic patterns. Hayley draws on a mix of approaches to shape each person's care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take practical steps toward them. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences affect present reactions. Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, with space to talk through difficult memories or current problems. Hayley focuses on concrete strategies as well as understanding the feelings behind them. She has three years of documented experience as a practising clinician and is registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). Her clinical work builds on earlier roles in mental health services and longer involvement in related settings. Hayley works with people across a range of concerns including depression, panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and interpersonal difficulties like jealousy or control issues. She encourages small steps and realistic goals, whether someone needs short-term help or a longer course of support.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Hayley commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see how earlier experiences shape current responses. That approach can help when someone notices repeated relationship patterns or long-standing emotional reactions. Together, these approaches allow a mix of practical skills and deeper understanding tailored to each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. This means agreeing on whether to focus more on skills, on values-based action, or on exploring past influences.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and help people attend sessions from wherever they are located.
