About Hazel

Hazel Edwards is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are living with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and those struggling with low self-esteem, motivation or relationship difficulties. She also lists a wide range of focus areas including ADHD, grief, intimacy concerns and coping with life changes.

Hazel respects that each person knows their own story. In sessions she helps people talk through what feels hard and notice the strengths they already have. Conversations are direct and practical. The aim is to make small, manageable steps rather than big leaps.

Her ways of working draw on client-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Client-centred work means listening closely and following what matters most to the person in front of her. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from the past that can affect present feelings and relationships.

Over six years Hazel has worked with a variety of difficulties, including mood disorders, chronic pain or illness, multicultural concerns and issues around attachment. She also supports people dealing with anger, personality-related problems and the effects of domestic violence.

If someone prefers to meet remotely or from another place, Hazel accepts international clients. To begin, people are invited to use the site matching process to choose session options and book an initial appointment. The process includes a short questionnaire before the first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach tend to centre on reflection, validation and practical steps the person wants to try. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and links between past experiences and current feelings. In an online format this can help when someone wants to understand repeated relationship patterns or longstanding worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will talk with the person about goals and preferences and together they will decide which way of working to try first. That decision can change as therapy progresses, and she supports people in adapting the approach if something else seems a better fit.

Session logistics should be checked before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a session that is quicker to join. Confirm the exact session options available with the matching questionnaire before arranging a first appointment.
