Hazel Baker offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. She helps with grief, low self‑esteem, depression, addictions and relationship worries. Hazel also works with issues such as parenting strain, anger, workplace difficulties and ADHD.

Hazel Baker holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Hazel keeps sessions simple and conversational. She creates a warm, non‑judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels hard.

Background and approach

The focus is on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Sessions aim to make sense of patterns and find realistic next steps. Her approach draws on attachment‑based ideas and client‑centred listening.

Attachment‑based work looks at how early bonds affect trust and relationships today. Client‑centred counselling means the client’s goals guide each session and the pace is set by the person in therapy. With three years of practice, Hazel has supported people through bereavement, trauma and midlife shifts as well as mood and panic difficulties.

She also pays attention to concerns like abandonment, guilt, isolation and life purpose. Hazel adapts conversations to the issue in front of her rather than using one fixed method. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Hazel accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

How Hazel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of trust and closeness. Online sessions using this approach help people understand why they react in certain ways within relationships and explore safer ways of relating. Client‑Centred Therapy puts the person’s own goals at the centre. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to understand feelings and decide what matters most to them. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will discuss different ways of working and agree together which methods feel most helpful. The choice is collaborative and may change as goals evolve. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need quick, ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt each format to the client’s needs and goals, helping maintain continuity of care even when life is busy.
