About me

I am licensed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have worked with clients using integrative counselling, which allows me to use various skills and approaches which are suitable for the client and what is brought. Working frequently with anxiety, depression, abuse in all forms, race, relationship, imposter syndrome, learning to say no, and the list goes on.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and tailor my dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, providing tools, helping you develop healthy or more positive ways of managing, coping mechanisms, allowing you a space to express safely, without judgement! Taking the first step to sign up for coundrlling can take courage and is an amazing step in your journey of self-development, understanding, growth, healing or whatever you might wish/need to use the space for. You should be proud of yourself for taking this step.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Hayden François . We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I'd a great time with Hayden François, who is a great active listener providing relevant guidance tailored to my needs. Being part of several marginalized communities, I felt Hayden François had that additional knowledge that many therapists usually don't have. Thanks!

I have tried therapy in the past and I never seemed to like it until now. Hayden is an amazing therapist and really listens offering a lot of empathy and understanding. Highly recommend to anyone looking to start their therapy journey.
