About Hazel
Counsellor Hazel Edwards is a BACP member with six years of experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.
Hazel keeps sessions focused on what the person brings. She treats people as experts in their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and conversational. The aim is to help people manage symptoms and make everyday changes that feel possible.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. In practice this means listening closely to current worries and also noticing patterns from earlier life that still affect day-to-day reactions. Hazel uses what she learns together with the client to guide discussion and planning.
Over six years she has worked across a range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. These include grief, parenting, eating and intimacy-related issues, bipolar and anger, and support for people living with chronic illness or neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Hazel offers help with relationship and family-related problems, attachment concerns, and difficult feelings such as guilt, shame or isolation. She accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. If someone wants to start, they are asked to use the site matching steps and arrange a first appointment.
Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm session options before booking.
Working online with Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches
Hazel draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the here-and-now. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps a person find their own solutions to issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It can help when patterns repeat in relationships or when early attachment issues affect day-to-day coping. This approach is useful for people wanting to understand deeper reasons for repeated difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and agree together what to try first. The plan can change as sessions progress so the work stays relevant to what matters most to the client.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options available before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers flexibility for people living abroad who wish to work with a UK-based counsellor.
