Juliette Hayden

Juliette Hayden is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings a background in nursing alongside a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling. Her work combines practical care experience with counselling skills to support people through difficult life moments.

She helps people facing grief, loss and hospice or end-of-life concerns, and supports those dealing with anxiety, depression and stress. Juliette also assists people affected by trauma and abuse, and those coping with chronic pain, chronic illness and cancer. She has a particular interest in carers of autistic children, drawing on her personal experience as a parent.

Juliette uses a flexible, integrative approach to suit each person’s needs. She commonly draws on client-centred ways of working to make people feel heard, attachment ideas to look at relationships, and cognitive behavioural techniques for practical coping strategies. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also feature in her work when helpful.

Her practice focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She aims to help people build awareness and simple skills they can use day to day. Juliette describes therapy as a shared process and works alongside clients as they explore change.

Juliette’s background in nursing and volunteering at a hospice and with victim support charities informs her practical, compassionate style. She meets each person where they are and adapts methods to the issues and goals they bring.

How Juliette’s approaches fit into online counselling

Juliette often blends client-centred work with attachment ideas and cognitive behavioural tools. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood, which helps with low mood and confidence. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and can be useful for intimacy or trust issues. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Juliette will work with the person to identify their goals and try methods that match those aims. She tailors techniques over time and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or illness gets in the way. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, or meetings without using video if a lower-bandwidth option is preferred. Confirm the current session options and scheduling when you book to ensure they meet your needs.
