Over the past 6 years I have focussed my work to people suffering from varying issues such as; relationship and family problems, abuse (sexual, physical and emotional), and trauma.
Hi I'm Hazel, I am a counsellor and supervisor. I work with abuse, trauma, relationship issues, addiction and bereavement. I also work with people who are experiencing anxiety, stress and low self esteem. I offer clients a private and comfortable place to talk and work through their problems, to unravel their issues and discuss goals for the future, enabling clients to moving forward with strength and understanding.

I have 15 years experience in working with adults, couples, and young people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—often due to anxiety, low self-worth, relationship struggles, family tension, or neurodiversity.
I believe in each client’s potential to grow, heal, and thrive—even through life’s hardest moments. My core focus is on helping clients build the capacity to face challenges, develop awareness and emotional strength, and create meaningful, lasting change from within. I use and recommend tools like mindfulness and grounding to support this deeper work.

You feel like you’re always “too much” or “not enough.” You overthink everything, and every time there's a conflict you think people are going to leave you, therefore you struggle to set boundaries and tend to people-please. You want to be able to maintain relationships without the fear of being rejected or abandoned, without idealising others or without losing yourself in the same old patterns. Deep down, you just want to be accepted for who you are, you want to feel chosen and that you are a priority on someone else's life, and to feel emotionally safe.

When the Past Meets the Present... Sometimes a decision made years ago starts to weigh heavily when life changes — especially if you’re now facing health concerns or questioning the choices you once thought were right. This can bring up regret, self-doubt, or a deep need to find peace with yourself. I offer a safe, confidential space to explore these feelings, work through the “what-ifs,” and rediscover your sense of strength and self-compassion. You don’t have to face the future carrying the weight of the past alone. Viktor Frankl "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves".

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside it feels exhausting trying to hold everything together. Are you feeling stuck by patterns of self-doubt, anxiety, or thoughts of past trauma? Perhaps you are feeling professionally burnt out or maybe you are trapped by compulsive tendencies and thoughts that scare you. Your mind may have developed coping strategies to deal with difficult times but it’s now now self-defeating. Strategies of staying busy, avoiding conflict, blaming or putting others first — now your approach is holding you back. Don’t worry, we can rewrite this - change is possible.

Accredited Counsellor, Therapist and Clinical Supervisor with over 20 years experience. I have helped many people navigate through, and recover from, many of life's traumas, losses and transitions — including depression, anxiety, relationship changes, caring responsibilities, grief, self-harm, past abuse and work-related stress to name just some. We can sometimes lose our sense of self under the weight of life’s challenges. I love helping clients reconnect with their strengths and wisdom, so they feel more resilient, confident and compassionate with themselves as they work through difficult times.
