Juliette Hayden, BACP

Juliette Hayden is a qualified and insured UK-based integrative therapist with 15 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Reg. No 393383, and combines a background in nursing with a BSc (Hons) Degree in Therapeutic Counselling to offer a broad, practical approach to emotional and relational difficulties.

Her clinical journey began after qualifying as a nurse in 1993 and working in a variety of NHS roles before training as a counsellor. Alongside her professional practice, she volunteers with a UK charity supporting victims of sexual trauma and domestic abuse, and she offers support at her local hospice in Salisbury to people with a terminal diagnosis and their families.

Juliette brings personal insight to her work as a parent of four, two of whom are autistic, and she holds a particular interest in supporting carers of autistic children. She also draws on lived experience of chronic pain to help clients explore the brain-body connection and to develop practical coping strategies for long-term illness and its effects on everyday life and relationships.

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, anger, and life changes. Additional focus areas include compassion fatigue, ADHD, ageing and geriatric concerns, attachment and dissociation issues, chronic pain and illness, and end-of-life matters.

Working in an empathic, nonjudgmental way, Juliette tailors integrative methods to each person’s needs. She aims to create a safe space for exploration and growth, helping clients build awareness, develop practical skills, and move toward the changes they seek.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Juliette integrates several evidence-informed methods to meet each client’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps when trust, intimacy, or relationship difficulties are central concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can be useful for chronic pain, anxiety, and managing distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Juliette works collaboratively to find the best fit. She tailors techniques to the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the mix of approaches as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, or health limitations, and they allow clients to continue therapy from locations that suit them.
