Hazel Edwards

Hazel Edwards welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety or life changes. She uses simple, steady conversations to help people untangle what is getting in the way of feeling calmer and more able. Hazel writes in a warm, direct way that aims to make the first step less daunting.

Hazel works from the belief that each person knows their own story best. She helps people spot their strengths and use those strengths to manage difficult feelings and behaviours. Sessions focus on what matters now and what small changes might make daily life easier.

Her background includes six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Hazel has supported people through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship strain and parenting concerns, among other issues.

In therapy she draws on client-centred methods to put the person’s priorities first, and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Conversations are practical and reflective; Hazel balances listening with gentle challenges to encourage insight and change.

She also works with concerns such as anger, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, eating problems and long-term illness. People are invited to set the pace and aim for realistic steps towards feeling steadier and more connected.

How Hazel’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room. Hazel offers a listening, non-judgemental space where the client’s goals lead the work. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to set the pace for change.

Psychodynamic therapy looks for patterns that repeat over time and influence current feelings and relationships. Hazel uses this to help people understand why certain reactions, such as anger or low mood, keep happening and to find new ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Hazel will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That can include a mix of steady, practical steps and moments of deeper reflection based on what the person wants to achieve.

The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions around daily life and fewer journeys to attend therapy. Online work can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, reduce time away from work or family, and accommodate quieter or lower-bandwidth options when needed.
