Fiona Hazelden

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Fiona uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is short-term, skills-based work that teaches coping tools for anxiety, sleep or anger problems. This helps people manage symptoms day to day and regain a sense of control.

She also uses trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult experiences at a pace they can handle. These methods focus on stabilising reactions, reducing distressing symptoms and building safer ways of relating to memories and triggers.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Fiona will discuss different options with each person and decide together which approach fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adapt as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter exchanges and people who express themselves better in writing. These formats make it possible to fit sessions around work, family or mobility needs and to keep continuity of care across locations.
