Kevin Hayman, BACP

Kevin Hayman is a person-centred counsellor who draws on a business background to offer practical, grounded support. He works from a client-centred approach and uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. He holds BACP accreditation and practices in the United Kingdom. He began counselling after a career in business and says he wanted more fulfilment in his work. He has four years of experience supporting people from different backgrounds. Sessions focus on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. Kevin offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through problems at their own pace. He uses person-centred principles such as empathy and unconditional positive regard. Mindfulness is used alongside talking to help with concentration and emotional regulation. Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and self-esteem. He also works with relationship and family matters, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include ageing and geriatric issues, attachment, control and communication problems. He helps people explore life purpose, career worries, money concerns and midlife transitions. He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and multicultural or immigration-related stress. Clients who want practical coaching around goals and daily routines can expect straightforward, goal-focused conversations.

How client-centred and mindfulness work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens, reflects and offers empathy so clients can find their own insights and make choices that suit them. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to think things through without pressure.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention exercises and breathing practices to help with stress, anxiety and emotional regulation. These techniques can help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, which supports better day to day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose which methods to use, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can change over time to focus more on listening, practical coaching or mindfulness work as required.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, cut out travel time and allow regular contact from different locations. It can also let people choose formats that suit their circumstances, such as a shorter check-in around work or sessions that do not require video, depending on what the counsellor offers.
