Clinical Psychologist
Dr Hayley Zambakides is a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working across a range of therapeutic settings within both the NHS and the charity sector. In her current role, she supports individuals experiencing long-term and enduring mental health difficulties, offering thoughtful, specialist care to those living with significant distress. She is highly skilled in working with diverse and complex needs, tailoring her approach carefully to each individual.
Dr Zambakides takes a person-centred, values-led approach to understanding distress. She has particular experience working with City professionals and individuals in high-pressure, demanding roles, including those experiencing burnout, chronic stress, and difficulties with work-life balance. She also works with clients navigating complex relationship experiences, including patterns rooted in attachment, identity, and past relational trauma. Alongside this, she supports a wide range of presentations such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, and trauma.
She is especially interested in the meaning people make of their experiences and how these narratives shape their understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them. Dr Zambakides is deeply committed to ensuring that therapy feels accessible and inclusive, and has worked within NHS services to adapt therapeutic models to be more culturally responsive and affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals and communities.
In her clinical work, Dr Zambakides draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused and narrative approaches, while remaining mindful of the impact of systemic and societal pressures on mental health. She places great importance on building therapeutic relationships that feel safe, honest, and affirming, and that are guided by the strengths, values, and needs of each client. This collaborative approach allows clients to work at a pace that feels right for them, supporting deeper understanding, confidence, and meaningful, lasting change.
