About Hazel
Hazel Baker is a counsellor who helps people facing worries that feel too big to handle alone. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and she offers a calm, non-judgemental space to start talking things through. Hazel uses an open, person-centred style that encourages people to lead the conversation.
She listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can make sense of their feelings and choices.
Background and approach
This direct approach aims to help people feel understood and clearer about next steps. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships and patterns. That perspective can be useful for worries about abandonment, trust, relationship difficulties or struggles with self-worth.
Hazel has three years of experience in talking therapy and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy designation listed in her profile. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, workplace issues and mood disorders.
Sessions are offered in English and Hazel is available for clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She provides a friendly, steady presence and practical conversations that focus on small, doable changes as well as understanding what lies beneath the difficulty.

Approaches Hazel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns that began earlier in life. That perspective can help when worries involve abandonment, trust, relationship strain or repeated conflicts. Working online makes it possible to look at these patterns in regular, focused conversations without having to travel to appointments.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and Hazel will collaborate on that choice. Together they will decide whether to focus on emotional regulation, relationship patterns or day-to-day coping, and they will adjust methods based on the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which gives flexibility around work, travel and family life. Phone and text options can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels most helpful. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
