About Hazel

Hazel Griffiths is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing addiction, trauma, low mood and problems with self-esteem. She works with individuals who are trying to regain motivation, manage difficult family situations, or recover after abuse. Hazel brings a calm, respectful approach to early conversations and practical steps.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, referred to as BACP.

Background and approach

Hazel adapts the pace and focus of sessions to each person's needs rather than using a single standard method. Conversations usually centre on what feels most urgent to the client and on small, achievable steps forward. In sessions she emphasises sensitivity and compassion while keeping discussions straightforward.

Clients can expect focused talk that aims to build confidence, manage cravings or reduce distressing reactions after traumatic events. Hazel aims to make goals clear and realistic so progress can be measured. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, and relationship endings.

Where substance misuse or domestic violence are present, Hazel helps people explore safer choices and practical coping strategies. Hazel supports people from different countries and conducts sessions in English. She offers flexible online formats so people can choose what fits their life and routines.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Hazel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and recovery. One approach emphasises building routines and coping strategies to manage addictive behaviours and cravings; it helps people break patterns and replace them with healthier choices. Another approach looks at how traumatic experiences affect thoughts and feelings, and uses structured conversations to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. These techniques are used to address low mood, relationship strain and difficulties with self-worth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hazel collaborates with each person to weigh goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. If something does not fit, she will adapt the plan so sessions remain useful and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy lets people access help in ways that suit their routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping momentum in the work people want to do.
