Hazel Edwards, BACP

Hazel Edwards welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life changes. She writes in a direct, warm way and aims to help people find clearer thinking and more confidence. Hazel believes clients bring their own strengths and that small steps can lead to meaningful change.

Hazel has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She focuses on common worries such as depression, grief and relationship concerns, and also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, ADHD and anger. Additional areas of attention include chronic illness, isolation, attachment issues and multicultural concerns.

Her sessions centre on understanding what matters to each person. Hazel uses a client-centred approach that follows the client’s pace and priorities, and psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect the present. Conversations are plain and practical, aimed at helping people notice patterns, try new responses and build on their strengths.

Hazel encourages realistic goals and steady progress. She offers empathetic listening and gentle challenge when helpful. The aim is to leave people feeling better able to manage day-to-day problems and long-standing concerns.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Hazel accepts international clients and holds sessions in English.

How Hazel’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person identify their own solutions. This approach often helps with stress, low self-esteem and decision-making.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and how past relationships shape present reactions. Talking through these patterns can help when the same issues keep returning in relationships, mood or coping styles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hazel will work with each person to decide which ideas feel most useful based on their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments, avoiding travel time and the option to choose sessions that suit daily routines. If you need specifics about formats and how sessions are delivered, confirm current options before booking so you can pick what fits your life.
