Thomas Hazell, BACP

Thomas Hazell helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. He supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and anger. He also works with career worries and adjusting to life changes.

Thomas is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. He uses straightforward language in sessions and aims to make each meeting feel calm and approachable. He focuses on listening first, then helping people find practical ways forward.

In practice he blends different approaches to suit the person in front of him. Some sessions concentrate on understanding how past patterns influence current feelings. Other sessions look at changing thoughts and behaviours that make daily life harder. He also uses short, goal-focused techniques when people want quicker relief or clearer steps.

Thomas aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about difficult subjects. He encourages people to say what they need from therapy and to set realistic goals together. Sessions move at a pace that suits the individual.

With four years of experience Thomas works with a wide range of issues including family and fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, infidelity and money worries. He offers practical support for isolation and men’s issues as well as mood disorders. He meets people in ways that fit their life and needs.

Approaches online and how they can help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It involves open listening and accepting feedback to help someone feel heard and understood, which can be especially useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with stress, mood problems and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan fits what the person needs and what helps them feel better.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone needs less bandwidth, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect and reply in their own time. These options help people keep regular contact and make it easier to attend sessions from different locations.
