Hazel Griffiths, BACP

Hazel Griffiths is a United Kingdom based therapist who holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people who are navigating addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges with motivation and confidence.

Hazel works with a wide range of related difficulties, including attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, substance and alcohol issues, domestic violence, dissociation, and relationship problems such as divorce and separation. Her practice brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance to each conversation, and she adapts the tone and structure of therapy to fit each person's circumstances and goals.

Therapy with Hazel is collaborative and tailored - she shapes the dialogue and the treatment plan to meet individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms people for taking that first step toward change. Hazel aims to help clients build practical coping skills, address painful experiences, and strengthen confidence and connections over the course of their work together.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online care

Hazel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people develop practical skills and new perspectives. One common strand of her work uses skills-based strategies to identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to build alternative ways of coping - this approach can be helpful for depression, low self-esteem, and addictive behaviours.

For those affected by trauma and abuse, Hazel offers trauma-informed work that emphasizes pacing, safety, and the gradual processing of painful experiences while strengthening coping capacity. She also uses relational and family-focused methods to address conflicts, attachment issues, and codependency, working to improve communication and restore healthier patterns within relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Hazel collaborates with each client to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy with Hazel is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people with different schedules and locations. These options make it easier to access consistent support without compromising continuity of care.
