About Hazel

Hazel Baker helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures and major life changes. Hazel works with people who are managing trauma, mood disorders and neurodiverse concerns such as autism.

She offers a calm, accepting presence to make it easier to start talking about hard things. Hazel uses an attachment-based lens to understand how early relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

That helps when people are stuck in repeated ways of relating or feel unsafe connecting with others. She also draws on client-centred methods, so sessions are paced around the person and what matters to them right now. Sessions are conversational and practical.

Hazel listens to what feels most urgent, then helps people try small, manageable steps between sessions. She pays attention to feelings such as shame, guilt, loneliness and anger, and to practical problems like work stress or parenting strain. Hazel holds a BACP credential, which is shown as BACP.

She has three years of experience in one-to-one talking therapy and works with people across the United Kingdom. Work is offered in English and international clients are accepted. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit their schedule.

Hazel supports the process of finding a way of working that suits each person, whether the focus is on coping day-to-day or understanding longer patterns from the past.

How Hazel's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice patterns around trust, closeness and separation, and practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy puts the persons experience at the heart of each session and follows their pace and priorities. This approach is useful for exploring self-esteem, life purpose and feelings like shame or loneliness.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Hazel will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on understanding past patterns or on practical steps to cope with immediate problems, and they can change direction as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual connection matters and for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or when writing helps someone think things through. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and travel, and they allow people to keep continuity of care across locations.
