About Hazel
Hazel Griffiths is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through trauma, addictions, depression and low self‑esteem. She offers calm, straightforward support and aims to make the first step into therapy easier to manage. Hazel works with each person to understand their immediate needs and worries.
With five years of experience in the United Kingdom, Hazel draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She adapts conversations and plans to fit the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all model.
Background and approach
The work often centres on building coping skills, managing difficult memories, and improving everyday confidence. Hazel also supports people who are dealing with family conflict, separation and relationship fallout. She has experience addressing substance use and codependency and helps people untangle patterns that keep causing pain.
Sessions can include talking through recent events and looking at ways to change unhelpful habits. People concerned about abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation or leaving abusive situations can find step-by-step support. Hazel pays attention to practical goals, such as safer decision making and clearer boundaries, as well as emotional recovery.
Her approach is respectful and compassionate, with an emphasis on tailoring pace and style to each person. Hazel encourages honest conversation and small, achievable changes rather than rushed solutions.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Hazel uses practical, evidence-based approaches that aim to reduce distress and build skills. One common approach focuses on grounding and stabilisation techniques to help people manage strong emotions and dissociation; these are simple exercises you can use between sessions to feel steadier. Another typical strand emphasises behavioural strategies for addictions and low mood, looking at routines, triggers and small changes that make daily life easier. Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Hazel will work with the person to decide what fits their goals, needs and pace. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so sessions remain relevant and useful. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing and want flexible, ongoing support between calls. These options aim to increase accessibility and to help people keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily routines.Frequently asked
