About Hazel
Hazel Griffiths helps people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She is named Hazel Griffiths and holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or someone who is unsure about therapy. Hazel spends time listening to what matters most to each person.
How Hazel works
She tailors conversations and plans to suit individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building confidence over time. Over five years of practice Hazel has worked with people facing family conflict, relationship endings and complex trauma.
She also supports those dealing with addictions, substance misuse and patterns such as codependency or control issues. Hazel has experience with concerns linked to body image, attachment and feelings of emptiness. Her work covers a broad range of problems that can co-occur, including depression, dissociation and the emotional impact of illness or bereavement.
Hazel pays attention to how different issues interact and adjusts the pace of therapy to suit each person. People can expect straightforward, compassionate conversation and practical coping ideas. Hazel encourages small, achievable goals and reviews progress together so plans stay relevant and realistic.

Approaches and online therapy options
Hazel works with evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she uses helps people understand how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships; it teaches ways to notice patterns and try new responses to old triggers. Another approach she uses aims to build coping skills and reduce harmful behaviours, with clear steps to manage cravings, reduce risk and replace unhelpful routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hazel discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods so they fit the individual's situation. This collaborative process helps pick techniques that feel most useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer, in-depth conversations, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick emotional support or people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit therapy around family, work or caregiving commitments.

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
