Hazel Griffiths offers calm, practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, low mood and shaken self-esteem. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on clear steps to help clients make small, lasting changes. Hazel recognises that reaching out for help can feel hard and aims to make the first contact easier and less daunting.

In sessions she listens with respect and warmth, then works collaboratively to set simple goals.

Background and approach

Her approach is flexible so conversations and plans are shaped around what each person needs. Hazel tailors the pace and the kinds of questions she asks so people can work through difficult memories and rebuild confidence at their own speed. Hazel has five years of experience and is a BACP member, which is listed as her professional credential.

Her background includes supporting people through addiction, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and problems with motivation and self-worth. She also addresses related issues such as attachment worries, codependency and difficulties following separation. Practical matters are part of the work.

Hazel helps people spot patterns, learn coping skills, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions can include talking through recent events, looking at unhelpful habits, and trying different strategies to manage strong feelings. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients based in different countries.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments that suit their availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help

Hazel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building skills. One common approach helps people explore how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships, which can be useful for trauma, attachment worries and feelings of emptiness. Another approach teaches practical coping strategies and behavioural steps to reduce addictive behaviours and manage low mood or anxiety, giving clear actions to try between sessions.

Working out which approach fits best is a joint process. Hazel will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life situation, and then agree a plan together. That plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to give practical options. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written dialogue between longer meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
