Hazel Baker , BACP

Hazel Baker is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She works with issues including depression, addictions, relationship strain and women’s issues. Hazel offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk and to begin making sense of difficult experiences.

She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s own thoughts and feelings. This means sessions aim to follow the client’s pace and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing. Hazel also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Hazel helps people identify coping strategies, notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes between sessions. She explains things simply and checks what approach feels useful for each person.

Hazel has three years of experience in talking therapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people on a range of concerns from panic attacks and ADHD to parenting stress and career pressures.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments can take place by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Attachment and Person-Centred Work Online

Hazel uses client-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on the person’s own concerns and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps clients find their own next steps. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, paced way of working.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and reactions. That approach can help when people notice repeated difficulties in close relationships, issues with trust or patterns linked to abandonment and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on your needs, goals and what feels manageable. She aims to be collaborative and will check in about what helps as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see one another and use visual cues, while phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
