About Hayden
Hayden François is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of personal and relational concerns listed in his profile. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Hayden uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies. He often helps people who are managing trauma, grief, addiction, or difficulties with intimacy and relationships. He also supports those facing identity-related issues, including LGBT concerns, and people coping with life transitions and career stress.
In sessions Hayden listens to what the person brings and matches methods to their needs. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as tools to help people name emotions and notice patterns. Practical skills and simple strategies are offered alongside reflective conversation.
Hayden describes therapy as a place to practise different ways of managing distress and building better habits. He can work through issues such as body image, parenting strain, abandonment, chronic illness stress and codependency. He also supports people dealing with anger, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
To begin, people are invited to follow the service sign-up steps. That includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name the feelings that drive difficult relationship and attachment patterns. It focuses on emotional moments and how they shape interactions and inner experience.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current ways of relating and can help when attachment issues affect closeness or trust.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hayden will discuss options and use a collaborative process to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing progress and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the precise session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy, and Hayden can discuss how sessions might fit into everyday routines when you book.
