Juliette Hayden

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). She trained originally as a nurse and carried many NHS roles before moving into counselling, bringing practical healthcare experience to her work.

Juliette draws on an integrative approach to tailor sessions to each person. She uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and client-centred listening. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make conversations straightforward and useful.

She has volunteered supporting people affected by sexual trauma and domestic abuse, and she also offers volunteer support at a hospice for people with terminal diagnoses and their loved ones. Those roles have informed how she helps people facing grief, loss and end-of-life concerns.

As a parent of four, two of whom are autistic, Juliette has lived experience of caring challenges and supports carers of autistic children. She also brings personal insight from living with chronic pain and works with people managing long-term illness and its effects on mood and relationships.

Common areas she helps with include anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, eating and sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. Her aim is to offer practical strategies alongside time to talk and be heard.

How Juliette’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early patterns affect current bonds. It helps people understand trust, closeness and patterns that repeat in their relationships and can be useful for those struggling with attachment issues or repeated relationship conflict.

Client-centred counselling puts the person and their story at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens with empathy and helps the person find their own solutions, which can suit people who need a non-directive, paced approach.

Cognitive behavioural ideas offer practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. They are often used for anxiety, low mood and stress, helping people try different ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Juliette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can suit people who find it simpler to meet from another location, who need to manage energy levels due to chronic illness, or who prefer not to be on camera.
