About Hayden

Hayden François helps people facing money and financial issues alongside stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He works with people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions and issues around identity such as LGBT matters. Hayden is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

His approach is integrative. He draws on different talking therapies to suit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on practical tools, managing difficult feelings, and building everyday coping skills. The aim is to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them.

Hayden often helps people who struggle with self-esteem, imposter feelings, anger, and intimacy-related difficulties. He also supports those navigating parenting pressures, career stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. When money or financial stress is part of the issue, he looks at how thoughts and behaviours link to those pressures and works on realistic strategies to reduce their impact.

In therapy he uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas. He adapts language and exercises so they are simple and easy to try between sessions. Sessions also include time to agree small, practical steps that fit into daily life.

Hayden welcomes people from varied backgrounds, including international clients, and conducts work in English. To begin, readers should use the platform’s Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How Hayden’s approaches translate to online work

Hayden uses cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas in his work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and financial worries by breaking cycles of avoidance or impulsive responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values, useful for coping with stress and life changes. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy, relationship difficulties and some trauma responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hayden works collaboratively with each person to try techniques and see what fits. He explains methods in plain language and adapts exercises to match the client’s goals and daily routine rather than imposing a single way of working.

The biography does not detail which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different tools between sessions and review progress together so therapy fits around real-world demands.
