Edward Hayes

At times life can seem tough. Maybe you feel like you’re stuck in a rut or that you’re lacking purpose. Perhaps something has happened, everything has changed but you weren’t quite ready.

It feels difficult reaching out to those around you; especially when you’re left feeling frustrated, unheard, and misunderstood. You don’t have to cope all by yourself; it’s normal to feel this way sometimes, and it’s OK to ask for help.

Hello and welcome. I’m Ed and I can help you to explore the issues that impact your ability to live and enjoy your life to the fullest, in the hopes that you can begin to have more better days.

I’m a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The BACP’s Ethical Framework informs my therapeutic approach, ensuring our work is conducted professionally and safely, while maintaining a good standard of practice.

The therapy you’ll experience with me is person-centred, focusing on your needs and experiences. It's based on the humanistic belief that under the right circumstances, everyone has the natural capacity to heal and thrive.

In our counselling sessions, I create a warm and understanding space where you can freely express yourself, knowing you'll be truly heard and accepted.

We will work together focusing on what matters most to you. Our goal is to help you take charge of your own life, making choices and decisions that feel right for you, without anyone else's interference or influence.

I'm here to support you in overcoming challenges in a way that feels true to who you are, empowering you to embrace your strengths and what makes you, you!

I currently offer sessions in person, online, and over the phone.

I provide a complimentary 15 minute telephone consultation session, helping us to familiarise ourselves with one another and address any initial questions you have about starting therapy with me.

Following this, our first therapy session serves as an opportunity for us to learn more about each other and align our expectations of our work together. I'll share insights into my therapeutic approach and the support I can offer, while also inviting you to share more about yourself and your aspirations for counselling. Together we'll craft a working agreement that guides our sessions and outlines our objectives for therapy.
