About me

Hi my name is Hazel and I am an experienced integrative counsellor, accredited with the BACP. I specialise in helping people who are experiencing anxiety, including general anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks and work-related stress. You may be constantly worrying, overthinking things or feeling overwhelmed, and you might also be experiencing physical problems such as a racing heart, frequent headaches, nausea or disturbed sleep. These can all be signs of anxiety.
.
Having had my own struggle with anxiety, I understand how exhausting and debilitating anxiety can be, but you don't have to manage this alone.

In our sessions, you will be able to talk about what's worrying you so that you feel heard and understood. I can support you to look at the underlying causes of your difficulties and you can learn relaxation techniques to manage stress, reduce panic and feel more grounded. I can also help you to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and find the confidence to do the things that you've been avoiding. Please take a look at my website for more information about anxiety and how I can help.

I can also help with a wide range of other issues that you might be struggling with, such as coping with chronic illness, issues in your relationships or a big change in your life such as a divorce or a bereavement. I have particular experience in supporting people through cancer diagnosis and treatment.

I have 10 years of counselling experience with a
wide range of issues including working in a GP surgery, a grammar school, a hospice and a cancer drop-in centre as well as having my own private practice.
