About Fiona
Fiona Hazelden is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She works with individuals who are coping with low self-esteem, depression, addictions and life changes. Fiona aims to meet people where they are and to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Fiona emphasises respect, sensitivity and a steady, supportive manner. Her background includes long clinical practice across a range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and work-related stress. She also works with people affected by bereavement, compassion fatigue and neurodiverse challenges such as autism and ADHD.
Fiona is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted in her professional details. She offers therapy to people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients where arrangements allow.
Sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Fiona encourages clear, shared goals and practical steps so people can measure small changes between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Fiona uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people understand and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach she uses helps people notice and challenge thoughts that keep anxiety and low mood active, then practice alternative ways of responding in everyday situations. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety and depression.Another strand of her work focuses on handling the effects of trauma and loss. That involves paced conversation about difficult memories, developing coping skills for strong emotions, and building routines that reduce distress over time. This can help with grief, trauma-related reactions and dissociation.
Choosing the right method is part of the therapy process. Fiona works collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a person's goals, needs and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or on the move. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or days when typing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy flexible and to fit around work, family and other commitments.
