Hazel Griffiths, BACP

Hazel Griffiths is a United Kingdom-based therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. With five years of clinical experience, she works with people experiencing addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Hazel applies a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate style to therapeutic work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to suit each person’s individual needs and goals.

Her practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, relationship breakdowns, and problems with control or coping. Hazel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop coping strategies, build confidence, and navigate difficult life transitions. She affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the process approachable, collaborative, and focused on practical progress. Hazel accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients as needed.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Hazel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior and teaching practical skills to manage them. These structured, skills-focused methods are often helpful for issues such as addictions, low mood, and problems with self-esteem because they emphasise concrete strategies and gradual change.

She also applies trauma-aware and relational work that helps clients explore how past experiences and family dynamics shape current relationships and emotional responses. This kind of approach supports people working through trauma, attachment concerns, and family conflict by attending to safety, pacing, and rebuilding trust in relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Hazel collaborates with each client to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made and as priorities shift.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. For many people, these options increase accessibility and help sustain consistent work toward change.
