Thomas Hazell

Thomas Hazell is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and the fallout of separation or divorce. He uses straightforward, person-centred care so people can say what matters to them. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Thomas focuses on making sessions simple and readable. He encourages people to talk through painful feelings and everyday worries. Sessions aim to reduce isolation, sort out priorities and build small steps forward.

His approach draws on a few practical methods. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of conversations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thinking and try out new responses.

Thomas also uses Psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that still affect today. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people agree clear goals and work towards them in short, practical ways.

With four years’ experience, he aims to be calm and direct in sessions. He listens without judging and helps people find the next steps for their life. If you are unsure what to expect, he asks a few questions first and then plans sessions together.

How Thomas’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and on listening without judgement. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on making space for feelings and clear reflection, which can be helpful for grief, loneliness and low self-esteem.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, breaks down how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In remote sessions this often means noticing unhelpful patterns, trying short experiments between meetings, and using simple exercises to change thinking and behaviour over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences at the start and adapts methods as therapy progresses, so the plan fits what the client needs and wants.

The practical benefits of online therapy should be checked before booking, since session formats are not listed in the biography. Ask which session types are offered when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel, or choose shorter check-ins when time is tight; CBT-style homework and solution-focused planning can transfer well to remote sessions.
