Nicky Hayes
Nicky Hayes is a psychologist and author of over 25 books on psychology, management, and neuroscience. She has made contributions to psychology education, research methods, and applied psychology. Her books include specialised textbooks, supplementary publications, and accessible introductions to psychology. She has written a number of articles for psychology-related magazines and newsletters, is a member of the Society of Authors, a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, an Honorary Life Member of the Association for the Teaching of Psychology, and a member of Council of the International Test Commission.
Nicky is a visiting professor at the University of Suffolk and engages in consultancy on psychological matters for both government and private organisations. She was president of the British Psychological Society from 2022 to 2024.
Nicola Jane Hayes was born in 1953, near Maidenhead in Berkshire, England. She lived in the area until 1964, when she moved to the Wirral.
She attended Wallasey High School until 1971. From 1972 until 1975, she studied psychology at the University of Leeds.
From 1976 to 1979, she worked as a Residential Social Worker with Leeds City Council, when she left to take a PGCE in Further and Higher Education at Holly Bank, Huddersfield, from 1979 to 1980. From 1981 to 1983, she returned to the University of Leeds and undertook an M.Ed.
Hayes was involved in the development of pre-degree psychology in the UK.
Having taken a PGCE for Further and Higher Education, she worked part-time teaching psychology at A-Level and AO-level in various technical colleges in West Yorkshire.
In 1982, she became an AO level examiner with the Joint Matriculation Board. She noticed that more support was needed for teachers due to the diversity in the range and quality of the teaching. She worked with others to establish that support through the Association for the Teaching of Psychology, acting as Hon Secretary from 1982 to 1984 and chair from 1984 to 1985. This work resulted in publications, local groups, a resource bank and the establishment of an annual conference which continues to be the main CPD provider for teachers of pre-degree psychology.
