Fiona Hazelden, BACP

Fiona Hazelden welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or loss and need a steady, practical place to start. She is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the UK. Fiona speaks plainly and makes space for what matters to each person.

Fiona focuses on day-to-day challenges such as panic, low mood, poor sleep and difficulty managing emotions. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related worries, and the strain that can come with work or caregiving. She works with concerns linked to addiction, ADHD, body image, eating and tiredness too.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a single script. Fiona will talk through your immediate priorities, and together you will agree a plan that fits your pace and goals.

Over 15 years she has worked with many kinds of problems, from attachment and abandonment issues to chronic illness, communication breakdowns and dissociation. Her background includes supporting people through bipolar symptoms, anger, and career-related stress among other difficulties.

Beginning therapy with Fiona starts with a short matching process and scheduling. The therapist aims to help people build practical coping skills, improve day-to-day functioning and make clearer choices about relationships, work and wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Fiona

Fiona describes her work as tailored to the individual and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Two approaches she commonly draws on are trauma-informed talking therapy and structured problem-focused work. Trauma-informed talking therapy helps people understand how past harm affects current feelings and reactions, and it can support emotional regulation and safety. Structured problem-focused work breaks concerns into manageable steps, teaching coping strategies for anxiety, sleep, anger and day-to-day stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Fiona works collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful for your goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust the plan as you make progress or as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that feels better for you. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make sessions practical and accessible while focusing on what will help you most.
