Hazel Baker , BACP

Hazel Baker offers thoughtful, compassionate counselling to people facing difficult life experiences and persistent emotional challenges. With three years of experience in talking therapies, she creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore what is affecting their wellbeing and begin to rebuild confidence and resilience. Hazel has supported clients dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, trauma, and low self-confidence, guiding them through practical and emotional steps toward better coping.

Hazel works from a person-centred place, aiming to listen deeply and adapt support to each individual's needs. She holds the BACP credential, indicating membership of the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. Taking the first step to speak with a counsellor can feel daunting, and Hazel focuses on offering steady support through that process so clients feel heard and understood as they work toward their goals.

Approaches to Attachment and Person-Centred Online Therapy

Hazel draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people understand fears of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, and recurring relationship patterns so they can build more secure connections and calmer responses to stress.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening, unconditional acceptance, and supporting each person to find their own solutions. This method is well suited to people working on self-esteem, life transitions, grief, and adjusting to new circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Hazel collaborates with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider what feels most helpful and adapt the work as progress is made.

Online therapy with Hazel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, work, or while travelling, and allow conversations to continue in ways that fit a client's life.
