Hayley Damous , BACP

Hayley Damous is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She focuses on supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, helping them make sense of difficult experiences and move toward greater wellbeing.

Hayley creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely, and she encourages honest conversation so clients can explore what matters most to them. She holds BACP, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects a commitment to recognised professional standards.

Recognising that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, Hayley offers steady support throughout the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to identify priorities and build practical strategies that align with each person’s goals and values.

How Hayley Combines Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s perspective and fosters a supportive, accepting space where people can explore feelings and make their own choices; it is useful for building self-awareness and addressing relationship or life-change concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and low mood; it often involves collaborative exercises and short-term strategies to reduce distress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness practices to help reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and improve day-to-day coping for issues like stress, sleep problems, and rumination.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Hayley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or connect via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work from different locations, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for starting and sustaining therapeutic progress.
