Thomas Hazell
Supportive person-centred counsellor
About Thomas
Thomas Hazell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, or changes at work and in life. He also supports those facing issues around self-esteem, trauma and abuse, anger, and LGBT concerns. Thomas is named up front so readers know who they would be contacting.
He takes a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and making space for what matters to each person. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward.
Background and approach
Thomas works to build trust so people can talk honestly about difficult feelings and choices. Thomas combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques that look at thoughts and behaviours. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time.
Solution-focused methods are used when clients want short-term goals and clear steps forward. He has four years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. That registration is the main credential mentioned in his background.
Sessions can cover a wide range of everyday struggles such as money worries, isolation, caregiver stress, commitment or control issues, fatherhood concerns, or the aftermath of separation and domestic violence. Thomas aims to be down-to-earth and practical while remaining warm and attentive. To begin, a person completes the normal sign-up steps and a brief matching form before arranging sessions.
Thomas tends to work collaboratively, helping people identify what they want to change and small steps to get there.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can try in online sessions
Thomas draws on two complementary approaches to shape online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person's own sense of what matters. It is useful when someone needs empathetic support and time to make sense of feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will discuss options and try things collaboratively to find what fits a person's needs and goals. Sessions can shift focus over time, mixing listening with shorter-term active tools when needed.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, need shorter check-ins, or want a less formal way to reflect between sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday life while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists to make steady progress.
