About Hazel
Hazel Edwards meets people where they are and helps them find clearer ways forward. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety and depression, and supports people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship strain and motivation. Hazel is a BACP counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Hazel believes each person knows their own story best. She uses a client-centred stance to listen carefully and follow the priorities the person brings. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual rather than fitting them into a pre-set plan.
Alongside client-centred work, Hazel draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep repeating. This can help people understand how past experiences show up now and affect relationships, mood or self-image. She explains these connections in plain language so people can make practical choices about change.
In sessions Hazel aims to create an open, non-judgemental space. Conversations cover feelings, thoughts and everyday challenges, and lead to achievable steps the person chooses. She offers calm support while people try out new ways of coping and relating.
Hazel has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting pressures, eating and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar and long-term health challenges. She also addresses multicultural issues, attachment and isolation. If unsure which concerns to raise, people are encouraged to bring a few issues to the first meeting and see how they feel about working together.
How Hazel's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following the person's lead. Online sessions let the counsellor offer that attentive presence while the person names what matters most, whether that's mood, relationships or daily stress. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from the past that show up now, helping people notice recurring ways of thinking and relating that affect wellbeing. Online conversations can support this exploration by giving space to reflect on those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the relationship and goals evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make shorter or more frequent sessions possible if that suits someone's schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that talking through problems remotely still allows meaningful progress and clearer day-to-day coping strategies.
