Kevin Hayman, BACP

Kevin Hayman is a person-centred counsellor with four years' experience. He moved into counselling after a career in business and now focuses on helping people facing major life shifts. He aims to offer empathy and unconditional positive regard while people talk through what matters to them.

Kevin uses a down-to-earth style. He listens first and follows what each person brings. He encourages people to notice their own strengths and to make choices that feel right for them.

In sessions he often draws on client-centred principles. That means the conversation stays focused on the person’s experience rather than on labels. He pairs this with mindfulness techniques to help people pause, notice what’s happening, and respond rather than react.

His work covers a broad range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, issues around work and money, relationship and intimacy questions, and midlife crisis. He also supports people dealing with sleep or eating difficulties and process addictions such as gambling or pornography when these come up.

Kevin has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and different ages during his practice. He brings his business experience into practical conversations about career, purpose, and financial stress. If you want to explore changes or find steadier footing, he will help you name priorities and try out manageable steps.

How client-centred care and mindfulness work online

Kevin practices person-centred counselling, which means the conversation follows the client and focuses on their perspective and values. This approach helps people talk through what matters to them and make their own choices about change.

He also uses mindfulness therapy to help people develop simple awareness skills. Mindfulness teaches short exercises in noticing thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity to stress and make it easier to try different responses to difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels useful, try things out, and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into busy lives, for example by saving travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and pacing to suit work and family routines, and Kevin will work with you to find a practical approach that fits everyday life.
