About Hazel
Hazel Griffiths offers calm, practical support for people facing addiction, trauma, low mood and low self-esteem. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel doable. Hazel works from a respectful, compassionate stance and focuses on what matters to each person.
With five years of experience she has supported people through substance and alcohol problems, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, body image concerns, attachment worries and difficulties after separation.
Background and approach
Hazel adapts conversations and the plan to what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Hazel holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That credential is shown to indicate her professional registration in the UK.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and clear, everyday language during sessions. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Hazel works with people to identify small, manageable steps and to build on strengths that are already present.
She pays attention to safety and to the impact of past trauma while helping people find ways to cope now. Many people begin by saying they just want someone to listen and to help them make sense of things. Hazel offers that listening and then helps plan realistic next steps that fit a person's life and goals.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hazel will discuss options and adapt methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences, so the plan evolves with the person rather than being fixed at the start. The process is collaborative and guided by what the client finds most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or want to fit support around work or caring commitments. These formats help people access therapy from different places and at times that fit their life.
