About Hazel
Hazel Edwards is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and motivation. She also supports people carrying guilt and shame related to family, faith, or past actions.
Hazel works from the premise that each person knows their story best. She listens for the strengths someone already has and uses those strengths to help them face what feels overwhelming. Sessions are conversational and paced to what the person can manage at the time.
Her approach draws on client-centred work, which focuses on understanding a person's experience and helping them make their own decisions. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings. These methods are used to talk through repeated thoughts, self-blame, and difficult memories.
Hazel has helped people with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, parenting stresses, chronic illness, and issues around identity and attachment. She speaks English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person is asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Hazel aims to work collaboratively to identify practical next steps and to clarify what a person wants to try in therapy.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to a person's experience and supporting them to make their own choices. In practice this means sessions are led by what the person brings, with the counsellor reflecting back what they hear and helping clarify next steps. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated patterns in feelings and relationships and helps people notice how past experiences shape current reactions. This can be useful for understanding recurring guilt, shame or relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hazel will explore what the person wants to address, try out ways of working, and adjust methods based on needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Many people find that regular, scheduled sessions help keep progress consistent while allowing practical flexibility.
