About Hazel
Hazel Vernon is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with two decades of experience supporting people through difficult times. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Hazel also works with clients on relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains and career-related concerns.
She aims to build a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Sessions are practical and conversational, and she encourages small, manageable steps towards change.
Background and approach
Hazel focuses on what matters most to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Over twenty years she has developed experience helping people cope with life changes, trauma and abuse, and the ongoing strain of chronic illness or caregiving. She also supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns, attachment difficulties and blended family challenges.
Her approach includes talking through coping strategies for sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue, and helping people rebuild confidence after loss or difficult life events. Hazel pays attention to practical strategies as well as the feelings behind them. People meet Hazel for a straightforward, steady style of counselling that focuses on listening and clear steps forward.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions can be arranged through the platform’s scheduling tools and are offered in English.

Online support
Another approach concentrates on building stronger emotional connections and addressing attachment issues. It looks at how past relationships affect current ones and teaches communication and boundaries that improve intimacy and family dynamics. These methods are helpful for relationship concerns, blended family challenges and fatherhood issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and what feels most comfortable. The process is collaborative and adaptable as people progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes counselling easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth, and messaging or chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
