Hayley Stanley

I currently have limited availability, but I do my best to be as flexible as possible to work around clients鈥� schedules. Working from my home office allows me to offer adaptable appointment times, and I will always try to find a slot that fits your needs.

I also work from the field in Newton Abbot, where I currently have availability on Mondays and Thursdays during the day.

How I Work

At Willow Tree Field, I offer a flexible, person-centred approach 鈥� tailoring each session to your needs and circumstances. Whether you鈥檙e seeking in-person, nature-based, or online support, my goal is to make therapy accessible, safe, and meaningful.

Where sessions happen

鈥� Private land in Newton Abbot (the field) 鈥� a tranquil, natural setting where we can meet outdoors via walk & talk or in a quiet, enclosed space.

鈥� Bright office space in Paignton 鈥� for a more traditional, indoor counselling environment.

鈥� Beach walk & talks in Paignton 鈥� combining the therapeutic benefits of movement with the calming environment of the sea.

鈥� Online (Microsoft Teams) 鈥� so you can access support from home or wherever feels most comfortable.

Approach & style

As an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (麻豆原创), I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit different personalities and issues. My aim is to create a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can feel heard and fully yourself. Whether you鈥檙e exploring grief, self-awareness, or navigating life鈥檚 challenges, I鈥檒l work alongside you.

I offer:

鈥� 1-hour face-to-face counselling (拢50)

鈥� Walk & Talk therapy on the land or beach (拢50)

Your experience

Your journey with me is unique. You鈥檒l have choices 鈥� whether to meet outdoors, on the beach, in person, or online 鈥� and I鈥檒l adjust the style and pacing of our work to what feels most helpful for you.

About My Practice

At Willow Tree Field, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can feel supported, heard, and free from judgment. My aim is to walk alongside you as you explore life鈥檚 challenges, whether you鈥檙e navigating grief, seeking greater self-awareness, or simply needing space to breathe and reflect.

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (麻豆原创). This means I draw on different therapeutic approaches to best suit you, always working in a way that is tailored, respectful, and collaborative.

Where we can work together

鈥� On private land in Newton Abbot (鈥渢he field鈥�) 鈥� a peaceful, natural environment where we can meet outdoors or in a quiet enclosed space.

鈥� In my Paignton office 鈥� a warm, confidential indoor setting.

鈥� On beach walk & talks in Paignton 鈥� where movement and the sea can support the therapeutic process.

鈥� Online via Microsoft Teams 鈥� making sessions accessible wherever you are most comfortable.

What you can expect

Every journey is unique. I鈥檒l work with you at your pace, adapting the style and focus of sessions to meet your needs. Whether outdoors in nature, in the office, or online, I will provide a supportive environment that encourages openness, reflection, and growth.

I currently offer 1-hour sessions at 拢50, and I do my best to be flexible with availability so that support fits around your schedule. My hope is that through our work together, you鈥檒l feel empowered to discover new perspectives, inner resources, and pathways towards positive change.

First Session Details

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and to explore what has brought you to counselling. I see this as a gentle starting point, where you can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. There is no pressure 鈥� it鈥檚 simply a space to begin building trust and to get a feel for how we might work together.

During this session, I may ask some initial questions to better understand your needs, goals, and any important background information. This helps me tailor our work to you from the very beginning. I won鈥檛 ask you to complete lengthy forms or assessments, as I believe conversation and connection are the most important starting place.

The first session lasts for one hour and is charged at my usual rate of 拢50. From there, we can decide together how you鈥檇 like to continue, including the setting that feels best for you 鈥� whether that鈥檚:

鈥� My Paignton office

鈥� The private field in Newton Abbot

鈥� A beach walk & talk in Paignton

鈥� Or online via Microsoft Teams

Some people prefer to have a single session to explore whether counselling feels right for them, while others are ready to commit to ongoing work straightaway. Either way, there鈥檚 no obligation, and you鈥檙e free to take the time you need before deciding how you鈥檇 like to move forward.

My aim is to make the first session as welcoming and relaxed as possible, so you leave with a clearer idea of what counselling with me could look like and whether it feels like the right fit for you.
