About Hazel
Hazel Baker offers calm, straightforward support for parents feeling overwhelmed. She listens without judgment and helps people make sense of what is happening now and what comes from the past. Hazel aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone worried about reaching out.
Hazel uses a gentle, people-centred style in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
She draws on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns, especially around closeness and trust. Her background includes three years working in talking therapy settings. During that time Hazel has worked with worries such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and addiction concerns.
She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship problems, workplace pressure and life changes. Hazel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and can work with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Sessions begin with a short conversation about what the client hopes to change. Hazel then collaborates on goals and practical strategies.
The approach is warm, down-to-earth and focused on helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Approaches Hazel lists

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. Online sessions use this approach to help people understand patterns around closeness, separation and trust, which is useful for parenting concerns and relationship difficulties.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and supports people to identify their priorities and next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hazel will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as things change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those needing less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats help people access therapy across locations and around family or work commitments.
