Hi, I’m Ian Hayes.

I have a Level 6 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute specialising in Gestalt Therapy, an approach that focuses on present awareness and developing new perspectives. 

I also volunteer at the Cape Project, focusing on individuals with enduring and often complex mental health issues, as well as Ealing Abbey Counselling Service.

I’ve worked in business consultancy and market research for over 25 years so I understand the stresses of a professional life and the pressures of the commercial world.

As a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I adhere to their ethical framework in my practice.

I'm fully covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance and work under regular supervision to ensure the quality of my service.

I’m currently furthering my development through studying for an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute.
