Hazel Edwards, BACP

Hazel Edwards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with adults facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and motivation problems. Hazel describes clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to support practical steps towards change.

Hazel uses a mix of client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions. She pays attention to what matters now while also noticing patterns from the past that affect day-to-day life. Sessions focus on listening, gentle reflection and practical ways to try different responses to difficult feelings.

Over six years Hazel has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns. These include grief, anger, bipolar mood shifts, challenges linked to ADHD, eating issues and intimacy-related difficulties. She also offers support for those coping with long-term illness, ageing concerns, attachment questions and isolation or loneliness.

Hazel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and accepts international clients. Her practice aims to meet each person where they are and build on their existing strengths.

People who meet Hazel can expect a calm, collaborative tone, straightforward conversation and practical suggestions to try between sessions. She asks clients to reflect on what they want to change and supports them as they take steps towards those goals.

How Hazel uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist offers active listening, warmth and questions that help someone clarify their own goals. This approach is helpful for people who want straightforward support with stress, low confidence or relationship strain.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions may gently explore past experiences that shape how someone responds today, which can be useful for recurring anxiety, attachment issues or problems with intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will talk through options and decide together with each client which way of working feels more useful. That collaborative conversation helps set goals and decide what to try in and between sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives, allowing short commutes, easier scheduling around work or childcare, and a chance to continue therapy when travel would be difficult. Online work can also make regular check-ins simpler and help keep momentum between appointments.
