Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Hazel works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person's needs. One approach focuses on structured, skills-based work to help identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour - useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Another strand emphasises trauma-informed and relational exploration, helping clients process past hurt, attachment wounds and relationship difficulties while building greater emotional resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hazel works with clients to clarify goals, review what has helped or hindered progress in the past, and tailor interventions that fit their preferences and life circumstances. She views therapy as a partnership that adapts over time as needs and goals evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access support from home. These options allow registered professionals to deliver ongoing, focused work while maintaining continuity and convenience for clients.
