About Juliette

Juliette Hayden is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling and previously trained and worked as a nurse. Juliette has worked across healthcare settings and charity roles while building a counselling practice that addresses a wide range of life problems.

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem concerns. Relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes are also within her practice. Guilt and shame are noted among her focus areas alongside forgiveness and family problems.

Juliette draws on attachment-based ways of working and client-centred listening to help people feel understood. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and existential perspectives when these fit a person’s concerns. Her nursing background and volunteering with a hospice and a charity for survivors of sexual trauma shape how she talks about illness, loss and trauma.

She has personal experience as a carer for children with autism and a history of chronic pain, which inform her interest in supporting carers and people with long-term illness. Juliette describes practical coping strategies and body-based approaches as part of her work with pain and stress.

Her practice is straightforward and conversational. She invites people to talk through what matters, to look at patterns that contribute to guilt or shame, and to practise small, concrete approaches that can change daily routines and relationships.

How her approaches translate to online work

Juliette combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current feelings. Client-centred work focuses on careful, non-directive listening so a person can say what matters and be heard. Cognitive behavioural techniques examine thoughts and behaviours and introduce small practical changes to reduce unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Juliette will discuss goals and preferences and pick ways of working together that suit the person. This decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm what online session options are offered before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. It also supports continuing work when illness, caregiving or mobility make in-person sessions difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use these options to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
