About Hazel
Hazel Edwards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone worried about taking the first step. Hazel draws on six years of professional experience and works from the United Kingdom.
She believes each person knows their own story and that those strengths can guide change. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
The aim is to support practical steps that feel achievable between meetings. Hazel uses client-centred work to place the person's experience at the heart of the process. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client rather than a preset script.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring feelings and relationships that shape current behaviour. People bring a wide range of concerns, including trauma, low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain, ADHD and coping with life changes. Hazel also supports those living with long-term health conditions and people facing isolation or identity-related stresses.
She adapts conversations to the issues a person brings. Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Hazel works with the client to set goals and plans practical steps.
She explains that therapy is collaborative and paced to fit the person’s needs.

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 draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and mood. That work often involves reflecting on past experiences and how they shape current reactions, which can help with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms and recurring relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Hazel works with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Conversations about pace, focus and the kinds of interventions tried are part of the early sessions so the client feels involved in the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is handy for a therapy-style conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, regular reflection or when writing helps the person think things through. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or mobility limits while keeping the therapeutic work collaborative and goal-focused.
