Hazel Griffiths, BACP

Hazel Griffiths is a counsellor who helps people dealing with addiction, trauma and low mood. She works with clients who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation and relationship stress. Hazel practises with respect and sensitivity and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried about seeking help.

Hazel uses short, direct conversations to uncover what matters most to each person. She tailors sessions and any plan to the individual rather than using one set approach. Hazel also supports people who are coping with separation, domestic violence, dissociation and difficulties linked to addiction and substance use.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns linked to family life, attachment and codependency. She will talk through issues such as abandonment, control and commitment problems, and help people navigate the emotional effects of chronic illness such as cancer or other co-morbidity. Sessions often focus on clear goals and usable steps between meetings.

Hazel holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional membership in the UK. She has five years of overall experience working with people on mental health and relationship problems. Hazel aims to match practical suggestions with a steady, compassionate approach.

People who choose her can expect a straightforward process to get started and a focus on what will make daily life easier. She encourages questions and will adjust the pace to suit each persons needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Hazel works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach she uses involves goal-oriented conversations to break problems into manageable actions, which can help with addiction, low mood and motivation. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment patterns and relational dynamics to help people recognise repeating behaviours and try new ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hazel treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss different methods with each person to find what suits their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time to reflect what is helping and what is not.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, save travel time and keep momentum with shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper topics. Hazel will help match session length and style to everyday life and to the issues you want to address.
