Hazel Edwards , BACP

Hazel Edwards is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low motivation, low self-esteem and self-confidence, and relationship difficulties, offering steady support as clients work through these challenges.

Hazel approaches each person as the expert of their own story and focuses on helping them discover and build on their existing strengths. She encourages those seeking change to recognize the courage in taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and aims to empower clients as they pursue that path.

In sessions she creates a collaborative environment where practical goals and deeper understanding can develop together. Whether addressing mood concerns, complex life transitions, or interpersonal issues, Hazel combines experience and empathy to help individuals explore options, process difficult experiences, and move toward clearer, more manageable ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Hazel Edwards draws on client-centered therapy and psychodynamic therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and strengths lead the way - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem, managing stress, and improving relationships. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that arise from past experiences and relationships, helping people gain insight into recurring emotional responses and deeper sources of distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Hazel works collaboratively to identify what fits each person best. Together they consider needs, goals, and preferences to shape sessions in a way that supports meaningful progress over time.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue even when life requires a different schedule or location.
