Hazel Griffiths, BACP

Hazel Griffiths helps people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She writes simply and listens carefully so clients can say what matters to them. Hazel encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life and respects each person’s pace.

Hazel has five years of practice working with concerns such as substance misuse, family conflict, and recovery after abuse. She also supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image worries, and feelings of emptiness. Her work includes helping people cope with the emotional impact of illness and separation.

Her approach is flexible. Hazel adapts conversations and plans to suit each person’s needs and goals. She focuses on clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon, and helps people build confidence in day-to-day situations.

Hazel is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That affiliation means she follows professional standards set by that organisation. She works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English.

Getting started is straightforward: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches that guide Hazel's online work

Hazel describes her practice as evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In plain terms, this means she uses approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and then practises new ways of coping. Such methods help when someone struggles with low mood, addictive behaviours or persistent worries about relationships.

She also focuses on trauma-informed ways of working, which pay attention to how past hurt affects current feelings and reactions. This involves pacing conversations, recognising triggers, and building small practical skills to manage distress in everyday moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Hazel will work collaboratively to find methods that suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and checking what feels most helpful over time.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more regular check-ins when helpful. It can also make sessions possible across locations for international clients, while the therapist and client decide together what rhythm and format work best.
