Hazel EdwardsBACP

Hazel Edwards is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She works with those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation problems and relationship strain. Hazel speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has six years of professional experience.

Hazel’s approach begins with listening. She believes each person knows their life best and brings strengths into sessions. Conversations focus on practical steps and on building confidence to manage day-to-day challenges. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client.

Hazel draws on client-centred ideas to keep the work grounded in the person’s priorities. That means the therapy is shaped around what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed programme. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that come up again and again.

People come to Hazel for many concerns, including grief, parenting strains, intimacy issues, anger, bipolar mood shifts and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing chronic illness, autism-related concerns, attachment questions and multicultural issues. Conversations can cover practical coping skills alongside deeper reflection.

The aim is to help clients build tools they can use outside sessions. Hazel works to create a calm space where people can talk through worries, test new approaches and find clearer ways forward. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Hazel’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps clients decide their next steps. This approach suits worries like low self-esteem, anxiety and the everyday stress of life.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns in feelings and relationships. It helps people notice repeated reactions and how past experiences shape current choices. This can be useful for issues such as grief, intimacy challenges and long-standing relationship patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Hazel discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she adapts the way she works as conversations unfold. That means the plan is shaped together rather than fixed at the start.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to join from different locations, but the exact session formats Hazel offers are not listed in the biography. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you can arrange times that suit your schedule.
