About Hazel
Hazel Edwards offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She focuses on helping individuals build confidence and make manageable changes. Hazel speaks plainly and aims to make early sessions feel safe and predictable for worried parents reading on a phone.
She works from the belief that each person knows their own story. Hazel uses that as a starting point, helping people notice strengths and small steps that move them forward.
How Hazel works
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs rather than rushed or prescriptive. Hazel draws on client-centred therapy to create an accepting space where a person's feelings and experiences are heard. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Together these approaches help with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Over six years she has supported people with a wide range of difficulties, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, eating concerns, parenting strain, bipolar symptoms and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as isolation, chronic illness, attachment and multicultural concerns.
Hazel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Hazel uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps clients feel understood and encourages their own problem-solving and confidence building.She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to notice patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. That work can help people make sense of recurring reactions and understand how past experiences influence present behaviour.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Hazel treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and practical needs, then tailor sessions so the method fits the individual rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls let people meet face to face when needed, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
