About Hazel
Hazel Edwards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety, stress and low mood. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by everyday pressures, relationship strain, grief, or changes in life. Hazel uses a calm, straightforward style to help people make sense of their situation and find manageable steps forward.
She believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. Sessions pay attention to what matters to the individual and to practical ways to reduce distress.
Background and approach
Hazel aims to create a space where people can talk things through and build confidence at their own pace. Her approach combines client-centred work with psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work means the conversation follows the person’s needs and views.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experience that affect current feelings and relationships. Hazel has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. That background informs how she balances listening with gentle reflection and practical planning.
She supports people through issues such as trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different routines and needs. Hazel also works with matters related to ageing, attachment, chronic illness, personality and mood disorders, and multicultural concerns.
How Hazel’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of sessions. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens carefully and reflects back what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Psychodynamic work looks at patterns of feeling and behaviour that come from past experience. Talking about those patterns can reveal why certain reactions keep happening and help people make different choices in their relationships and daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will discuss options and decide together with the client what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That means adjusting the focus over time - sometimes more practical steps, sometimes deeper reflection depending on progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well when face-to-face conversation helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, live chat supports quick check-ins and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or need short, regular contact. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic goals.
