About Hazel
Hazel Edwards works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and issues from past trauma or abuse. She uses a client-centred way of working and psychodynamic ideas to help clients understand and manage what is happening now. Hazel is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has six years of professional experience.
Hazel starts by listening to a person’s story and priorities. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Conversations focus on what matters most now, with practical steps agreed together.
In sessions Hazel may use client-centred methods to create space for people to lead the topics they want to discuss. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings. This combination can help with mood problems, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.
Hazel has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood issues, parenting and intimate relationship difficulties. She also works with longer-term issues such as attachment, ageing and chronic pain, and with problems like guilt, shame or isolation.
Sessions are conducted in English and Hazel accepts international clients. Costs vary by region and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Hazel uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client’s priorities and recognising their own strengths; it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns because it lets the person lead what they want to work on. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns in feelings and relationships and can help when someone wants to understand why certain reactions keep happening and how past experiences influence current life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hazel will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and agree a way of working that fits the person’s needs. That agreement can be adjusted as therapy continues so the approach stays relevant.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to keep continuity of care for people who live further away or who need a more flexible schedule.
