About Hayden
Hayden François is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and identity concerns. He works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addiction and intimacy-related problems. Hayden also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career questions, ADHD and the strains of life changes.
He uses a flexible, person-focused style in sessions. That means conversations follow what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Hayden combines Jungian ideas with practical methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions aim to offer clear tools alongside space to reflect. Hayden describes his approach as respectful and compassionate.
He adapts language and pace to each person and helps build coping skills. Practical goals might include managing anxiety, changing unhelpful thoughts, or improving communication in relationships. With three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he draws on both short-term and deeper work.
This mix allows for focused problem solving or longer exploration when needed. Therapy is offered in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients may be supported depending on scheduling and location.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Hayden combines Jungian ideas with other practical methods to meet a range of needs. Jungian therapy focuses on exploring personal meaning, dreams and inner patterns to help people make sense of recurring themes in their life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-driven action to improve day-to-day functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hayden will talk with each person about their goals, concerns and preferences and then agree a plan together. That might mean using ACT skills for anxiety, attachment work for relationship patterns, or a mix that includes Jungian exploration for deeper meaning. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing written reflection or flexible scheduling. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring roles and travel, and make ongoing support more accessible.
