Hazel Edwards focuses on people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or difficult life changes. She aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable, helping clients talk through struggles and find practical ways to cope. Hazel believes people know their own stories and builds on clients' strengths to support change.

Hazel has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She uses a client-centred style that places the person's experience at the heart of each session.

Background and approach

This means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client rather than a rigid set of techniques. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. That approach can help when difficulties feel linked to past events or long-standing relationships.

Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer and give people choices about how to respond differently. Hazel works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, ageing, attachment questions, isolation and multicultural challenges.

Practical coping strategies are used alongside deeper conversations when that fits the person. People meet Hazel via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.

Fees vary with location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Hazel's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths, with the counsellor offering active listening and gentle guidance. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and to try new ways of coping.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time, helping people notice how past experiences shape present reactions. This approach can be useful for working through longstanding issues such as attachment concerns, grief or recurring relationship struggles.

Finding the best approach is a joint effort. Hazel will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and will adapt the way she works so it fits the individual's goals. Together they decide whether to focus on practical coping skills, exploring deeper patterns, or a mix of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video suits fuller conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
