About Hazel
Hazel Griffiths is a counsellor who focuses on helping people dealing with depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. She uses a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Hazel speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Hazel draws on five years of professional experience in a variety of settings. She pays attention to the practical impact of problems like trauma, family conflict and substance use.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around what matters most to each person, whether that is boosting self-esteem, coping after separation, or managing strong emotions. Sessions are collaborative and goals are set together. Hazel adapts the way she talks and plans so it fits each person’s situation and strengths.
She emphasises small, realistic steps that can make daily life feel steadier. Her background includes working with people affected by abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, domestic violence and dissociation. Hazel also supports those facing health-related stresses such as cancer, and the complex overlap of multiple problems at once.
Therapy can include short practical tools alongside deeper conversations about meaning and relationships. Hazel aims to be direct without being harsh, and warm without taking over. She encourages people to try a few different ways of working to find what helps best.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will discuss options and try methods collaboratively so the plan suits the person’s aims and preferences. She often starts with short practical steps then adapts over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter support or people who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family life.
