Haylee Ford , BACP

Haylee Ford is a licensed, accredited, and insured psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist practising in the United Kingdom, with 11 years of experience supporting clients both in the UK and internationally. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns - from stress, anxiety and depression to trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem difficulties, and challenges linked to parenting, career change and addiction. Her practice also addresses neurodiversity and attachment-related concerns, LGBT issues, grief and loss, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other complex presentations.

Haylee approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert in their own life and already has strengths to draw on. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore what is getting in the way of their goals, build practical coping strategies, and work toward greater clarity and resilience. Her training includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy, which she tailors to each client’s needs.

Haylee is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and an accredited member of the NCPS. She encourages anyone considering therapy to recognise the courage it takes to begin and offers supportive, goal-focused guidance to help clients move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Haylee draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support clients in different ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to clarify personal values so actions align with what matters most - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping clients repair relational wounds and build more secure connections. Haylee also uses clinical hypnotherapy as a complementary approach to access deeper relaxation and reinforce therapeutic learning when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Haylee works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors methods and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place over video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for clients who live remotely, travel frequently, or prefer a quieter way to engage, while still allowing meaningful, goal-focused therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
