Hazel Baker, BACP

Hazel Baker helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain and anger. Hazel also works with career worries, bipolar mood issues, ADHD and life changes.

Hazel creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what feels hard. She uses conversational, person-focused sessions so people can set the pace. The aim is to feel heard and to make small, practical changes that improve day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. That means attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, and a focus on the person’s experience in the room. Sessions centre on the client’s priorities rather than a therapist-led agenda.

Hazel has three years of experience offering talking therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English.

People often come to Hazel for help with panic, social anxiety, grief after loss, separation and issues around identity. She also supports people dealing with guilt, isolation, midlife questions and workplace stress. The work usually begins with a simple conversation about what needs to change and what feels manageable right now.

How Hazel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. In practice this means noticing patterns of closeness and distance, and gently testing new ways of relating that help reduce anxiety and improve self-understanding. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection so the client can find their own solutions and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the way sessions run to match goals and preferences. This is a shared process where the client’s priorities guide choices about pacing and focus.

The practical benefits of remote work can include easier fitting of sessions into busy days, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that suit quieter surroundings or lessen the need to travel. The biography does not list the exact session formats Hazel offers, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions helpful for ongoing support while juggling work, parenting or other commitments.
